An ominous bottle is an item that gives a player the Bad Omen effect for 100 minutes when drank, which can cause an ominous event (raid) to start when the player arrives in a fully populated village while under the effect of the potion.

A pillager and illusioner always drops 1 ominous bottle of level I-V upon death as long as it is a raid captain that is not currently participating in a raid.

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.

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. The level of Bad Omen affects the difficulty of the raid, with higher levels of Bad Omen leading to raiders being more likely to be equipped with enchanted gear, and in Java Edition, Bad Omen level II or higher adding an additional wave with the same strength as the final wave.

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. The level of Bad Omen does not affect the difficulty of the ominous trial, but higher levels do increase the duration of the Trial Omen effect.
