This Minecraft tutorial explains the Bad Omen effect with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

Background

The Bad Omen effect is a status effect that causes a group of hostile mobs to spawn and attack when a player with the Bad Omen effect enters a village. This event is called a Raid.

When the Raid begins, a Raid progress bar will appear on the screen (similar to the Ender Dragon or Wither Boss progress bar). Next, a group consisting of pillagers, ravagers, vindicators, evokers and witches will spawn and rush toward the player with Bad Omen. As the player kills these hostile mobs, the Raid progress bar will decrease indicating how many remaining mobs must be killed to end the Raid.

A player can be inflicted with the Bad Omen status effect by killing an illager patrol leader. An illager patrol leader is the illager that is wearing a banner on its head.

There are levels of Bad Omen such as Bad Omen II, Bad Omen III, Bad Omen IV and so on. The higher the level of Bad Omen, the more waves there will be in the Raid.
