Ex: Pillagers live in a large hidden Stronghold in the Mountains. Villagers live in a large fortified city, along with their smaller tribal villages. Undead all live in abandoned caves and mineshafts, with their own Castle ruins. Piglins live in a Nether Superfortress, and Endermen live in an End City.

[@creativecraving]

Umm... There aren't any war crimes in the meta-game, where the player _knows_ that their character will get attacked if they go to a village, because there's no war in the meta. You're playing a game, enjoying a nice burrito. 😊 There's no war crime in-game when you travel to a village to face the consequences, because you're defending a village from an attack, and you can't stop living your life just because somebody's mad at you. You gotta deal with it, one way or another. But, if we're talking about crimes, how about the enslavement of villagers by the player? That's pretty much a standard requirement for advanced play, and it's arguably worse than intentionally having a big flight in someone's town.

Old logic of bad omen made more sense. Because it's like when you kill pillager captains other pillagers want to take revenge and whenever you are in a village they would attack so that they can take their revenge, at least they could kill villagers that may be important to you. Now ominous potions have no lore. A drop of pillager captain that triggers pillagers only when you drink it seems less sensible to me.

So possible improvement on the raid farm: A sorter for Bad Omen Bottles that part of said bottles get sent to a brewing station, and converted from normal to splashing. After they're converted, a pressure plate triggered Redstone clock activates and dispenses a bottle when a clock cycle is done and the player is on top of said pressure plate. The clock cycle is equivalent with the bad omen effect duration to not waste potions. If the player leaves mid clock cycle, the cycle cuts and the dispenser doesn't get powered regardless.

This change wasn't for balancing purposes, this change was made so the average, casual player can decide between using bad omen for a raid, or for using it to make the trial chambers more difficult. This change also allows the player to choose when its used, so it can be saved in a chest until you're ready use it for one of the two events above

Bad omen is used for trials? I guess that helps a little. I still don't agree with the change overall. It'd be better if the potion was a rare drop from captains or something, or only patrol captains drop them

[@GrandProtectorDark]

​@@OrtegaSauce, nah, it's definitely for balancing. Mojangs stance of auto farms is that effort should match rewards. That's why 0 tick farms had been patched and afk fishing farms nerfed. Stacking Raid farms are ridiculous OP for something requiring minimal setup.
