An ominous bottle is an item that gives a player the Bad Omen effect for 100 minutes when drunk, which can cause an ominous event to start.

Obtaining

Usage

Consuming an ominous bottle gives a player the Bad Omen effect and destroys the bottle, rather than leaving an empty glass bottle in the player's inventory. If the player already has the Bad Omen effect, then drinking another ominous bottle resets the effect duration, unless the level of the ominous bottle consumed is lower than the current level of Bad Omen. Consuming an ominous bottle with a higher level than the current effect also increases the level of Bad Omen applied.

Bad Omen

The Bad Omen effect can be "used" immediately after an ominous bottle is consumed. Immediately means 1 game tick in Java Edition, and a few game ticks in Bedrock Edition (the exact number of game ticks is unknown).

When a player with Bad Omen enters a village, the Bad Omen transforms into Raid Omen, which starts a raid if it is not removed in time.

When a trial spawner sees a player with Bad Omen, the Bad Omen transforms into Trial Omen, which causes all nearby trial spawners to become ominous.
