I understood bad omen as "Hey you killed this person and they were important. You you're extremely unlucky now." So when you do to the village they so happen to be raiding once you get there. Killing the pillager doesn't make sense unless you left people alive which isn't common. Also killing them with lava (a more painful death) has no consequences.

The thing is, most people intentionally started raids anyway. The only people who did it by accident are new players who don't really know the mechanics

[@juanin200]

Raids before 1.21: It's called "Bad Omen" because every action must have a consequence. You, either knowingly or not, just killed an illager captain, a very important member of the illagers, and since they're at war with the villagers, you will provoke a retaliation attack the second you set foot on a village, for the illagers will think you're a soldier of that village. Now you gotta defend the village from the very own raid your actions provoked. Raid after 1.21: So you killed that illager captain again and they left a bottle with which you can summon more illagers to raid a village at your own will rather than as a consequence for killing illagers. Enjoy the trade prices.

If we're looking in terms of how bad omen works in-universe, I'd argue the mechanic is less "drink the bottle and they get mad" and more "drink the bottle and you're imbued with a curse/omen that makes certain aspects of the world more dangerous," like the illagers you just killed finding your location and retaliating as for why the captain had that substance on him to begin with i have no idea but that's my view on how it works anyway

Minecraft is meant to be like that. Everything that happens to the player must be their own fault, that's one of the basics of the game. That's why there's no villain, that's why there's no mission. What you do has consequences, but no one will force you to do those things in the first place.

[@Aidan-h8u]

This has always been a thing. It’s how raid farms work, which they most likely won’t patch as they stated previously they don’t intend to fix it, it’s a very edge case scenario which is impossible unless set up. A raid only counts pillager within 112 blocks as going towards the current raid wave, when you are higher than 112 blocks, or the targeted spawn block is more than 112 blocks from the point of interest, the game will still spawn each raid. Since they are 112 blocks away, (raids don’t have a limit to how far they can spawn, it is just the highest possible block in a 64 radius circle) they all spawn one after another as the game assumes you beat all the enemies. They despawn because they were also outside of the players respawn sphere (128 blocks) Raid spawn are bias towards the positive X and Z directions, this is because raid spawning is the current POI’s position +0 to 5 on the X and Z Fixing this would break raid farms and also this mechanic would never affect players in a real situation Side note: for everybody saying they tried a raid here and the mobs spawned somewhere else, raids spawn on the HIGHEST available spawnable blocks, they will not spawn in caves unless everything above the cave in a 64 block radius is not spawnable. Moving entities do not count as spawnable blocks, and moving villager POI’s will disable a raid (it counts as a raid loss if active, or cancels the raid if the raid bar has not filled yet) I see a lot of misinformation and confusion in the comments, so hopefully this helps

[@Badsy_the_Edgecat]

yeah that is UNTIL they decided that 'bad omen being given as punishment for killing a captain is unfair or whatever' and added these bottles that make it easy to find that this happens and "exploit" it

[@Aidan-h8u]

@@Badsy_the_Edgecat yea that’s true. It also makes raid farms ridiculously more complex and the margin of error having to be much smaller. Most of the simple raid farm tutorials lack proper syncing between force potion drinks and raid center shifting, leading to a situation where your raid omen begins, then a shift occurs and the villager loses its job on the same tick, leading to the infamous raid wave failing or raid bar disappearing. I personally don’t like mojang forcing you to play their way, I think removing the 30 second raid omen timer would be a huge help, or removing the ominous bottle all together as it’s a very flawed game mechanic and honestly doesn’t make much sense why killing a raid captain would make a trial chamber more difficult.

[@Aidan-h8u]

(Even timing everything appropriately can still lead to a loss of over 1 raid out of 10 bottles. This can’t be curbed using calibrated skulk sensors but is still unreliable). I’ve messed with farm designs and the best way I found was to measure how many ticks it takes for a villager to lose its job, then have a timer that accounts for the 30 second raid omen cool down and the villager’s max of 20 tick job replacement timer. This whole thing just makes everything needlessly complex. I’d say either keep how raids used to work or remove the timer for raid omen (what use is there anyways? The 15 second raid bar fill up is more than enough) Considering how over powered the mace is, I’d say requiring the player to kill a warden or another end game boss for an ominous trial would be much better and make more sense accounting for the “lore” of the game. (Also would give the player a reason to kill the warden and not just fly away and wait for it to despawn)

[@AdiDK]

Tbh I think the way it used to be was kinda weird. You kill a pillager captain which makes the pillagers mad, but they only retaliate once you'd enter a village? Why not just immediately? I think it would be cool if the pillager captain dropped a special goat horn, that when used in a village, would signal to the pillagers your location and bring them to you. Doesn't just have to be a goat horn, it could also just be some type of item that's made to signal your location, like a flare gun or a magic mirror or something. In my opinion it would make way more sense for the pillager captain to have an item that signals to the other pillagers their current location, and I also think it'd be cool that like, YOU, brought the pillagers to the village, just to kill them, which is basically what you did before anyway, but this time more directly.

[@Sarydormi]

I interpret it like this: If you kill the captain and not enter the village, pillagers consider you a threat but not that great for a full on raid on your house, so they just continue to send hit squads as usual. When you enter the village though... Potential loot, hostages AND the bastard that killed their men? Oooh, it's on.

It makes some sense, sure, but I think the new festure could make more sense. Consider that the pillager captain is just holding the potion and intends to drink it when he enters a village. That way, it's more like a flare. The player loots it off of him because it's something he actually owns and theoretically could use.

Don’t people get mad at phantoms for removing player agency, making them excessively annoying to deal with? That’s what pillager captains were too. Remove all agency and turn them into witness protection members who can’t be harmed at all costs or else you risk having to spend like 10-20 minutes defending the next village you find.

I wonder if it'll mess up raid farms? I think so but I don't know the mechanics very well. Raid farms were extremely op but I believe annoying to make so maybe that could make up for the opness? Maybe not considering just how op they are. I've never made one so don't have very valuable input on that.

well I mean the old raids worked like that, just means you drink a bottle instead of going to an outpost, which does make it easier. one option would be to make the raid omen a lingering potion effect that the raid captain makes when you kill them, so if you get to close you get the effect, but you could also bottle it like the dragons breath to get ominous bottles. so if you just kill them from a distance you don't get the effect, but if you kill them up close you'll get it, and if you want you can try and bottle it but risk getting effected. that might work better.

If you bring a villager to ancient city you can do this same thing since raids cant spawn in ancient city/deep dark.

I like the change adding ominous bottles for a few reasons - with trial chambers, it's much easier to drink an ominous bottle and start the harder trials down in the chamber than to wait or find a patrol to get bad omen from - one of the most annoying things with patrols before 1.21 is being attacked while you're doing whatever, defeating it, and then forgetting you have bad omen until you walk into your nearby village or place containing villagers and whoops! accidental raid! - the bottles range from the level of bad omen you get, meaning with raids and trials you can choose just how difficult it is without (again) having to out and repeatedly hunt for outposts or patrols - when people have bases in villages or have parts containing villagers it's much easier to handle patrols at said base if they drop bottles rather than giving you the effect and instantly starting a raid that you do not want to do - YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO START THE RAID ON YOUR TERMS, which is so much better to me imo as a casual player who just wants to build and do silly things.

i’ve very mixed about the Ominous bottle. it does not make any sense because you’re CHOOSING to raid a village…doesn’t make you much of a hero. but it does make getting raids a lot easier, instead of hanging around a Pillager outpost for like 20 minutes to get Bad Omen V. i like it from a convenience standpoint but i don’t like it from a “roleplay” standpoint. Captains should give you bad omen directly. i think ominous bottles should still exist but i’m unsure in what capacity or how they should be acquired. getting them in trial chambers does make sense but they’re too rare to be the only way to get them.

For some reason, the Pillagers couldn't find any valid spawn locations (likely due to the nature of the Deep Dark) and just sorta immediately despawned. It's also possible that they spawned on the surface, only to immediately despawn due to being some 150 or so blocks above the "village" they were attempting to raid.

"We want to nerf raid farms by adding a potion that you drink to get bad omen!" Would nerfing raid farms have also been possible if they just... made it so you can't get bad omen for the duration of Hero of the Village? Like yes, I guess you'd just drink milk to get rid of it, but if that's really an issue then you can make a timer that's tracked regardless of if you have the potion effect. Boom, illagers actually get angry at you for killing their raid captain again, and raid farms are either less efficient or outright not worth making anymore. The Ominous Bottle can still exist as a way to get Trial Omen, just making it a Trial Chamber mechanic instead of making it be bad omen. Please, if I missed anything here feel free to tell me I'm wrong, I don't know the intricacies of these things, I haven't built a raid farm or really even looked into how they work so it wouldn't surprise me that I'd missed something about this.

[@nat298]

I'm actually surprised so many people dislike the addition of ominous bottles. I know it doesn't make that much sense lore-wise, but I hated the previous system because I always had to avoid killing the banner pillager unless I was willing to start a raid the next time I went into a village, and now I can just kill them if they're annoying me instead. I used to spend a lot of time specifically avoiding entering villages because I had bad omen active, and it even occasionally blocked me from being able to trade with villagers when I really needed to do so. It's genuinely a lifesaver to no longer have to worry about that. Also, I'm pretty sure their addition was to allow the player to bring a bottle with them to trial chambers in order to do ominous trials whenever they want. That's not to say that they weren't thinking about raid farms at all when making the change, but I think nerfing raid farms was more of a secondary reason for ominous bottles if anything. I doubt it's just a coincidence that ominous bottles were introduced in the same update as trial chambers and that they drop from trial chamber vaults.

I think a much more sensible way to make the Bad Omen effect optional instead of some arbitrary sippy cup is to just Y'know Use the damn Ominous Banner that the patrol captains already drop Like just make it so if you place one down in a village and then light it with flint and steel, it lets out a red smoke signal or somethin' up into the air which is what 'causes the Illager raid Bam, easy way to make it gameplay friendly _and_ have it make some level of in-universe sense, Illagers already have it out for Villagers, so if it seems like a village somehow got hold of an Ominous Banner and burned it, the Illagers would obviously take huge offense to that and raid the village

[@silvererercoin]

And as an additional little thing, maybe lighting the banner in a location that isn't considered a village could have a pseudo-raid happen Which is to say, it doesn't start an _actual_ raid, but it could make a group of like 5 Illagers show up and maybe they'd have a Ravager So it can be a tiny little challenge encounter you can do with its own pros and cons, where you're not having do deal with endangering a village with a full raid, but likewise you don't reap the actual benefits that you would from a full raid And, y'know, you could do it anywhere instead of having to meander over to the nearest village, if you even have one relatively close by to begin with

You wanna drink a milk bucket? well now you have to go and kill another pillager captain to get the effect again. So annoying. The new system is more versatile, gives the player way more control, avoids wasting pillager captain kills, and brings in the opportunity to make more parts of Minecraft extra difficult and consequently extra rewarding in future updates as has been the case with the trial chambers. I'd take comfortable gameplay with control in my hands in a sandbox game over the game making sense in every regard any day. Minecraft already makes enough sense as the game it is. If realism takes away the control of the player IN A SANDBOX GAME, then it's better off disposed of.

This sucks especially for inexperienced players. Gameplay > realism. Biggest reason comes in the form of new opportunities for structures. The challenge it adds to the Trial Chambers is very cool and fun. It being an option instead of being practically forced makes sense from a gameplay perspective.
