What is Ominous Bottle in Minecraft?
An ominous bottle is a special glass bottle that holds a swirling, mysterious energy. Its main purpose is to give you control over starting some of the game's biggest challenges. When you drink an ominous bottle, you get a status effect called Bad Omen. This effect used to only come from defeating a pillager captain, but now you can carry it in a bottle and use it whenever you are ready for a big fight. It is a high risk, high reward item that lets you choose when to face a more difficult version of a village raid or a trial chamber event. These tougher events, called Ominous Events, give you much better loot, so drinking an ominous bottle is the key to getting some of the rarest treasures in the game. It is a tool for brave adventurers.
How to get Ominous Bottle in Minecraft
You can get an ominous bottle in a couple of ways, and both involve a bit of adventure. The most common way is by opening vaults inside trial chambers. Trial chambers are the big new underground structures made of copper and tuff. To open a vault, you first need a trial key, which you get from trial spawners after defeating waves of mobs. When you unlock a regular vault, it has a good chance of giving you an ominous bottle. You can find bottles with different power levels, from one to five. Another way to get an ominous bottle is by defeating a pillager raid captain. These are the pillagers holding a banner. When you defeat a raid captain that is not part of an active raid, it will drop an ominous bottle for you to pick up. This is a great way to get one if you are not near a trial chamber.
How to use Ominous Bottle in Minecraft
To use an ominous bottle, just hold it in your hand and drink it like a potion. This will give you the Bad Omen status effect for one hour and forty minutes. The level of the Bad Omen effect matches the level of the bottle you drank. Now you have two choices. You can walk into a village, and the Bad Omen will trigger a raid that is harder than a normal one. Or, you can go to a trial chamber. The Bad Omen will transform the trial chamber into an Ominous Trial. The spawners will become tougher, but they will also give you a chance to get an ominous trial key, which unlocks the best loot. You can drink multiple bottles to increase your Bad Omen level, which makes the events even harder but also increases your rewards.
