It is best to remember that if your tamed wolf kills the Illager Captain, it can also get Bad Omen. If your wolf then enters the village with you, it will also start a raid in the village. This status also has levels. The more Illager captains you kill, the higher the level. Luckily, it does not increase more than level five. It is best to keep in mind that the higher level for Bad Omen increases the chance of Illagers carrying enchanted weapons when you trigger a raid. The increase in the status level also increases the number of raids by one. See the list below to see how the increasing levels affect the raids in different game difficulties.
Bad Omen triggers four waves in Easy Mode (three in level 1 Bad Omen). There will be six waves (five without the level enhancement) of Illagers in normal when you have a level 5 Bad Omen. You will face eight waves (seven without the increase in level) in hard difficulty.
How to Get Rid of Bad Omen in Minecraft?
Bad Omen does not have a time limit either. So you are stuck with it once you get it. And there are only three ways you can get rid of it.
Finishing the Raid
It might seem like a lot of work, but fighting against the waves of Illagers all the way to the end is certainly rewarding. First, the status effect Hero of the Village replaces your Bad Omen. And the traders in the villages also give you discounts on items. Sometimes, these villagers also come and give you gifts. The gifts may vary based on the type of villager. For instance, a baby will bring you poppy flowers, an unemployed villager brings you wheat seeds, Fletcher brings you arrows with random effect, and Clerics give you either Redstone or Lapis Lazuli. Additionally, you can also get XP by killing all the waves. Hence, finishing a raid does have a lot of perks, and most players use this feature and take advantage of Bad Omen.
Drinking Milk
Drinking Milk is one of the key features of Minecraft as it has the ability to remove any status effect. And Bad Omen is not an exception. You can grab a bucket and head over to a cow and right-click with the bucket in hand. Your bucket will then fill with Milk. If you were to drink it, it would remove Bad Omen.
Dying
Now, this may not be a conventional method to remove Bad Omen, as you may lose everything you have. But if you happen to die when you have the status effect active, it will disappear when you respawn.
How Do I Know If I Have Bad Omen?
When the status is active, it will show a small box on the top right of your screen. The box’s icon looks like an Illager head with two axes. Furthermore, you will have dark green particles floating around you. But in Bedrock Edition, the status effect activates by showing a rotating animation of the same icon in front of your screen with black spiral particles.
