How Minecraft 1.21’s Ominous Bottle Could CHANGE Structures 

Everything I see tends to change when I drink from ominous bottles stolen from old men

6:25 you can also now get tridents from regular trial vaults. So they are finally gonna be easier to get.

Here’s my take on what they could do for Ancient Cities: Drinking an Ominous Bottle in an Ancient City will trigger an Ancient Omen. During an Ancient Omen, the Warden will spawn and will not despawn until the omen ends or the player is killed (or drinks milk). A single stone chest spawns in each structure within the city during the Ancient Omen (the ones from the concept art). When a player opens these chests, they make a lot of extra noise. Additionally, players will only be able to loot them for 5 seconds before the chest’s lid slams shut due to how heavy it is. Each time the lid slams shut, the Warden is alerted to where you are. Within these stone chests are additional, higher tier loot and even some exclusive, valuable loot: - Bone blocks - Coal blocks - Glow potions (Can be brewed using Glow Berries or Glow Ink Sacs) - Higher amounts of xp bottles and enchanted golden apples - Virus Armor Trim (Duplicated using any Sculk block) - Echo pottery sherd - Warden pottery sherd - Outburst enchantment (Applied to goat horns) - Vibrating Pulse enchantment (Applied to goat horns) - Hypnotic Tune enchantment (Applied to goat horns) - Amethyst Augment (Used on tools/weapons that couldn’t otherwise be upgraded) - Ancient Handle (Used with Echo Shards to craft the new Echoing Scythe weapon) - Slash enchantment (Applied to the Scythe) - Scoop enchantment (Applied to the Scythe) - Reap enchantment (Applied to the Scythe) - Soul Snatch enchantment (Applied to the Scythe) Outburst I, II, III, IV, V: Allows the player to shoot a burst of sonic energy which provides a chance to stun opponents. The distance the burst travels, the damage it deals and the chance to stun all increase with each level. Found exclusively in Ancient Cities during an Ancient Omen. Incompatible with Vibrating Pulse and Hypnotic Tune. Vibrating Pulse: Found exclusively in Ancient Cities during an Ancient Omen, this enchantment allows the player to emit a pulse that temporarily deactivates any redstone machinery and also shatters any glass blocks. Incompatible with Outburst and Hypnotic Tune. Hypnotic Tune: When using a goat horn with this enchantment, it will emit a specific tune that puts neutral mobs in a temporary trance that allows them to fight alongside you. Found exclusively in Ancient Cities during an Ancient Omen. Incompatible with Vibrating Pulse and Outburst. Scythe enchantments: Slash I, II, III, IV, V The first enchantment for the new scythe weapon. It acts as the scythe’s form of sharpnes. Reap I, II, III Another enchantment for the new scythe weapon which is also obtained from the ancient recipe book. It allows the player to harvest extra experience from mobs at the cost of some of their drops. Additionally, when used in PvP, it has a small chance to steal some hunger points from your opponent. Scoop I, II This enchantment also applies to scythes and acts as a vertical form of knockback. When you hit a mob, it will send them flying straight up. The height depends on the level of the enchantment. Soul Snatch The final enchantment for the scythe. This incredibly powerful enchantment allows the player to steal the souls of mobs they kill. Incompatible with the Reap enchantment, a mob killed with the Soul Snatch enchantment won’t drop anything (including experience) except its soul. Mob souls can then be used in a brewing stand to create special potions that allow players to transform into their desired mob. This enchantment only has 1 level.

If you didn’t know, Vaults can also give tridents ;-;

Idea: if you build a Wither normally, you fight the Java one, but if you build a WIther with the ominous effect, you spawn in the Bedrock one. This way Bedrock players could finally have easier time and Java players would have an option to chose a harder fight.

7:41 but he has a shy guy skin so he can't be a loser

Odyssey should rank every addition to the April Fool’s update

3:00 Small correction: Bad Omen is the only way to get the heavy core now! It won’t spawn in regular trial vaults anymore.

5:03 they could also do the iceologer from the mob vote. It's not exactly fitting, but it's an illager we don't have yet either

The issue with a lot of these structures is that they’re kind of either a one time thing or lacking any sort of “completion” of them. Dungeons don’t exactly have an end unless you break the spawner, and you can’t exactly “re explore” a woodland mansion. With raids and trial chambers, the challenges have a beginning and end to them, and can be redone infinitely. I think if we’re gonna see more ominous effects on structures in the future, it’ll be through new structures akin to trial chambers.

I saw this on the Minecraft Feedback Discord that suggested a Blood Moon. I penciled in where instead of making it a random event that was originally suggested, it will instead require having a Bad Omen while it is a Full Moon to trigger the Blood Moon Omen where new and harder mobs will spawn, and will drop exclusive loot during this event.

My perfectionist brain is incredibly happy that they’re streamlining this feature and making it more integrated with the rest of the game. My one critique though, is that vanquishing a Pillager Captain should still inflict you with Bad Omen automatically. Because it drops a bottle now, raids are made into a choice, which goes against their philosophy of making villagers less like objects and more “humane” (HUGE quotations btw).

*nether fortress cries in the corner* Also drinking the bottle could spawn Wildfires

Good that Bad Omen is now optional but now the funny new player trap is gone. Kill a weird aggressive villager and then immediately start a boss battle by accident at the nearest village

One thing that would really let this idea take off is: what If structures like strongholds, nether fortresses, bastions, mansions, ect had trial spawners, this would not only allow for stuff like the stronghold to be actually challenging, but also all for the bad omen effects to be more prevalent and make it so you can actually visualize the changes happening to the structure.

Thanks, Odyssey's Brother, you a cool guy, a total non loser, and a 100% honest Mario Kart plater

5:36 They should do this... And then make it so mobs effected with blindness can only navigate by sound, like the Warden (that way it actually has a use outside of multiplayer).

It would be cool to make the ominous bottle work on every structure, especially the desert well

I think drinking an Ominous Bottle in a Nether Fortress should spawn a Wildfire from the pre-existing blaze spawners. This will add some optional challenge, and could even come in a smaller update, similarly to the Armadillo features.

the ominous bottle spawns a mutant skeleton next to a fossil

I’ve got an idea. Phantom omen. Drinking an ominous bottle after not sleeping for three days can give you phantom omen. Which makes phantoms spawn. Also, phantom membranes will have more uses. Now at first this seems like a good idea. But it kind of removes the point of phantoms. So, here’s my other idea. After three nights of not sleeping. There will spawn a special pillager that will throw the ominous bottle at the player. Giving them the effect causing phantoms to spawn. It seems cool but how does it work in terms of lore. Well, I’ve always thought that there is a spirit in the ominous bottle because of the red eyes. And so basically. The bottle will tell the pillager to find this player and splash the potion onto them.

I think that they could rework zombie sieges and even the removed nether reactor core with these ominous events! Like maybe if you go into a village at night with bad omen, a zombie siege would start, it would also give the unused zombie horses a giants a use!

i love building brown bricks in minecrap

3:18 It's-a 𝓢𝓟𝓞𝓞𝓚𝓨 particle effect!

Off topic but relating to your last Minecraft video for phantom the primary thing to change is there attack pattern/move set to make the combat more interesting. A face hugging attack would be good that does DOT/obscures vision/attacks as well making it easier to kill the phantom. Next priority would be to change spawning conditions, ideally to allow multi dimension spawning with their own variants (explosive dashes/teleporting face hugs) as well as underground. In addition change spawning to be afk friendly. Personally the presence of cats should negate the spawning above ~y0 would be the best fix but also making the timing be related to midnight/lunar cycle/going to more dangerous locations would be cool

Using an Ominous Bottle in an Ocean Monument should turn all normal guardians into Elder Guardians.😈

They should just rework ALL structures (well... maybe not _all_ but you know what I mean) to use the new vaults and trial spawners. I could easily see Desert Temples having a Husk trial spawner.

Using the ominous bottle to allow netherite upgrades in multiplayer is a great idea! But i have a different idea, to make it useful both in single and multiplayer. Regular piglin brutes won't drop the upgrade, but, if you enter the bastion with bad omen, more piglin and piglin brutes would spawn, with the brutes holding a netherite axe in their offhand to distinguish them from normal piglins. The higher the bad omen effect, the higher the number of piglin that spawn, and can have potion effects or even armor. If you kill the piglin brutes, they will have a small chance to drop the upgrade (maybe higher with higher bad omen effects?). The idea is, with bad omen I-II you would only be able to get about one upgrade, with bad omen III, two and with bad omen V, about three or four. This way, we allow the upgrade to be gotten in multiplayer and offers and means that no-treasure bastions can be used to get the upgrade. And, it offers an alternative to mining diamonds for getting more upgrades. The idea is that bad omen allows you to get multiple upgrades, for players that prefer combat over mining. The numbers I proposed aren't definitive, they should be play-tested to make sure they're balanced.

btw with the new snapshot, maces can ONLY spawn in the ominous vaults. their spot in the trial vault haas been taken by tridents, which also makes them less grindy as you suggested

Dude we’re SO CLOSE to 200k, let’s keep pushing

I like watching videos that discuss concepts for games. You make them very well and have some good ideas!

What if the illusioner dropped something called a magic cloak. You could apply a singular potion effect to it by dipping it in a full cauldron with that potion.

Thank you Odyssey Central's brother

the portal in the ancient city should lead you to the poisonous potato dimension

only for Odyssey Central would i come for the editing and stay for the ideas

"Steve" (wait I forgot this isn't IntroSpektive mb)

If mojang didn’t ignore 80% of our suggestions Minecraft would be much better

Idea for the sand temple: Mojang should add a mummy boss that spawns when the player enters a sand temple with Bad Omen. (I don't know, maybe make some kind of trial spawner for it.) After killing the mummy, players will be richly rewarded.

Over all however this is a w update ESPECIALLY for bedrock edition players no matter what we can say that this will be expanded upon in 1.22 hopefully

Pigstep in the bastion, good detail.

Small thing, we got a unique bottle for the ominous potion. Why not for the other potions?

Congrats on 200k subscribers!!!

OMINOUSER THAN ME

Yooo I was looking forward to this video!

0:24 That was the most Okay "Okay" I've ever heard and I can't blame you.

Hey dude! So close to 200K Subs! Wish you the best!

He's almost at 200K at the time of this video's release, get excited y'all 😆

I honestly love the ominous potion and I think it has one of the greatest textures

Its so close...

GOOD JOB ON 200K ODYSSEY CENTRAL

Mace is way to OP

Very ominous indeed…

Been waiting for like 10 mins for this notification

This is knda off topic, but I've had a really cool idea for the Ancient city portal where instead of going into the portal, something comes out of it, weither that would be enemies (Kind of like a raid) or a new boss and I think that the bad omen effect could tie into this in some way

Is Minecraft actually lit, I love these changes, I haven’t played Minecraft in ages and I think update 1.21 is gonna be an amazing update

no puedo esperar a ver como envejece este video

I love all of the new unique particular effects, it's so cool that the esthetics of minecraft are being improved with stuff like the new armor trims and stuff as well.

Hi Odyssey i love this channel

Congratz on 200K subs

6:34 It's worth noting that tridents now spawn in Trial Chamber loot with the same odds as the heavy core (but specifically only in non-ominous vaults and regular chests). This is basically the main reward here for players who don't want to do the ominous challenge.

The tridents should honestly come in Ominous Ocean Monuments, making them more renewable and the structures more useful, then using prismarine crystals to repair them.

Bad Omen making more mobs spawn around you and with tougher armor would honestly fit so good. It would actually give a reason to have the effect on you during gameplay if you wanted to go hunting for drops, increase the rate of your mob grinders, or just have an extra challenge. Maybe you could even use a fermented spider eye on the ominous potion to make it a luck potion.

Where’s the music disc for this update

i think ominous withers being harder like they are on bedrock is a good idea. maybe they’d drop something extra cool like the nether reactor core, idk. maybe it could act like a nether biome in other dimensions within a certain radius which would let you have piglins in the overworld

Yoo this guy is just amazing!!

Odyssey, you are sooo close to 200k! What’s your next milestone vid?

here’s a fun one I came up with: walking into a badlands mineshaft will activate a new omen effect that spawns *the creature.* while under the omen’s effects certain patches of what used to be regular stone would turn into various precious ores (mostly gold but there could be other things, maybe something entirely new too?

Ominous Potion effects for more structures: End City: Entering the city with the potion effect spawns a new boss, known as a Shulker Monarch. This boss is able to levitate under its own power, and will shoot stronger shulker homing missiles at the player. The fact that it floats in the sky forces the player to either shoot at it or use an elytra/levitation to swing at it. Upon death, it drops a Shulker Monarch Shell, which can be crafted into a double shulker box (same space as a double chest). It also drops Shulker Bullets, which act as regular shulker missiles but arent homing and can be shot from crossbows. Nether Fortress: Entering the fortress with the bad omen effect withers the entire fortress. All mobs spawning in the fortress have a chance to inflict the wither effect, and wither skeletons in particular deal extra damage and can move much faster, however they also have a higher chance of dropping skulls. There's also a small chance for a mob to drop a wither rose. Jungle Temple: Entering the temple with the effect makes it so that a large portion of the blocks here are now infested with silverfish. Additionally, players who ignore this and choose to mine the walls by the lever puzzle specifically will spawn a Silverfish Mother, a larger variant that deals more damage and inflict the weakness effect. Killing a Silverfish Mother has a rare chance to drop infested blocks, allowing them to be obtainable. Desert Well: The well seems ordinary at first, however attempting to collect the water source in the center will spawn 3-5 baby husks on skeleton horses around the well. Defeating them all will drop an enchanted book in the middle of the well with the Resilient Stomach armor enchantment, which lowers the amount of hunger points lost from activities. Igloo: Approaching an igloo with the effect will spawn a Frost Witch. These hostile minibosses act like regular witches, however they have more health and will often splash a Potion of Frost, which decrease walking, jumping, and attack speed, while also disabling sprinting. Killing them drops standard witch drops as well as 1-2 Icy Warts, which can be used to craft Potions of Frost.

As a person who plays with the create mod, I’ll never have to go mining for copper for my fluid tanks again once I find a trial chamber…

I know the perfect name for the update. Minecraft We made slime farms a billion times easier. Also we made the mace stronger cause screw you (insert gmod jumpscare)

3:02 Best bet? Aren't ominous vaults the *only* way to get a heavy core?

Every time I hear the word "change" when I've been playing something for over half a year I'm just practically dying knowing that the interface or sorting system will change by one pixel and ruin my memory

11:00 With all the focus on piglins in Minceraft Legends I feel like they already have a solid groundwork for a piglin boss for the ominous bastion event. Funnily enough, with the Poisonous Potato update we've seen how well the treasure bastions can work as a boss arena, though the lava might be a bit much depending on the dofficulty of the boss

Funny story about raids. Me and my friends have a server. We had an enchanting table pretty early on, so early that we didn't have a lot of lapis. Because of this, i grabbed a villager that would trade rotten flesh for lapis, took it to our base, then made the house set up. A day or so latee, my friend didnt know and came back with the bad omen effect and yeah. Our base got raided and he had to fight back all the illagers himself. Ill kinda miss the bad omen via killing Captain illager because it made stuff like that pretty fun

This update is gonna be amazing

Ok, so I have an idea for the jungle temple, the nether fortress, ocean monuments, and end cities. For the jungle temple, they could add the Great Hunger from the first mob vote. It could give a status effect to disable enchantments for a small period of time and burrow through the ground to attack the player. It could drop an armor trim or a new item. An idea I have is something along the lines of its tooth or scale that can be used in a smiting table for swords to give it the status effect on hit (maybe a percent chance?). This could also be used in the fletching table to give this effect to a stack of arrows (along with making potion tip arrows with potions). It could also be used in a brewing stand for potions. Finally, it could cause more hostile mobs (like jungle skeletons that inflict poison on shot?) in the area. For the nether fortress, they could add the Wildfire. It would be able to work similar to how it works in Minecraft Dungeons. You would have to destroy the shields (at least one to hit the main body) to damage it, with a broken texture to show the damage amount on each shield. When knocked to low health, they could summon some blazes and begin to retreat to a place outside of the players view (like a wall). It wouldn't run far because that would be annoying. It would also have a shockwave attack to knock back the player without damaging them. It could drop an ash or flame armor trim that adds a fire aesthetic to the armor trims. It could also drop something that could upgrade shields, giving them fire aspect thorns. For the ocean monuments, it could not only do the stuff said in the video, but also add the Barnacle. It could pull the player towards it to deal massive damage, causing a bleed effect. It would move decently quickly and be able to either give the player the luminescence effect, allowing hostile mobs to have a higher range of agro, and the inked effect, causing slow and slight screen block (not too much to be a pain to fight). When it is active, all squids and glow squids would become agro to the player as well, causing the effects listed depending on the squid type (glow would cause luminescence and normal would cause inked). It could drop an item (like its freakish tongue) that could be used to make a harpoon, which would work like a mix between a fishing rod and crossbow. The effects would also be able to be made with glowing ink sacs and normal ink sacs. (Also glowing ink sacs could be used on armor trims to make them glow). Finally, for the end cities, it could add the Night Terror. This would be a much bigger phantom in design, with more end design features. It could be able to shoot the same projectiles as the shulkers, teleport, and swoop down to attack the player. It would spawn outside, and it would give the fearful status effect. When given to a player, they would automatically become slower around hostile mobs or provoked neutral mobs. When given to mobs, they will run from all entities, and if a mob is scared of certain mobs, it will run faster from them. The Night Terror would also spawn cloakers when at half health. They work like phantoms, except they give the fearful effect on hit and spawn in the end. (They can spawn naturally when you haven't slept for 5 days, in the end, and have killed the ender dragon. The Night Terror could drop elytras, to make them more available to multiplayer, and an item (like their wings) that can upgrade elytras. It would make them deal less damage to running into objects and give better speed boosts when using fireworks. They could also drop the phantom armor trim, which would give a look similar to the phantom's wings to the armor. (Also phantoms would only spawn after 5 days of no sleep instead of 3). Sorry for this being long, but I hope people enjoy my ideas, as I wanted there to be more of the mob vote mobs added to the game, and cooler, more enjoyable phantoms. (Edit: One smaller idea is they could make fermented spider eyes make the blindness potion because it would make sense. Its a messed up eye and it would give it a potion it doesn't need another one for. I would suggest using it on the night vision instead, but invisibility exists)

My guy, you went from a Mario maker channel, to a Minecraft channel. Respect

One idea I had for Ancient cities is buffing the loot but lowering the amount of shrieker charges you get from 4 to 2

You’re at 199K subs! We need only a few more!

9:00 I think for ancient cities, it would be really really cool to finally introduce some kind of cryptography or cypher code like puzzle game which players would have to explore the ruins and maybe have to do archeology to obtain and then actually think about it and solve the code maybe using hints from around the city. Maybe these could be riddles Or math or lore or something to do with Minecraft, maybe require pottery shards or smithing templates or banner patterns or something cool that would require the player to interact with a named item in a way that is new and gives it more meaning. Like what if the cypher used pottery shards and was randomized or what if there were new treasure maps…

I got a baaaaad feeling about this one

ODYSSEY CENTRAL AT 199K! THE 2D MARIO RANKING IS ALMOST HERE

4:50 haha I love to hear Arch-Illager's theme once again! (oo wait that's the remix isn't it?)

200k good job finnaly reched it

Would be cool if bad omen also turned mobs into special varients with unique behaviors too in said structures, like turning the brute in a version that charges at you with a sheild for example or make wither skeletons have bows, etc. Said varients dropping special loot too.

7:54 ; This was the original idea for the fight with the Ender Dragon. Cages around EVERY crystal, a lot more attacks than you now see in game, way more powers than you now see in game, different stages in the battle, quiker attacking, farther reetshing en longer on-going breath, being a way more mean and annoying apponent... They eventualy after the beta made it a bit simpler, because even the developers themselfs realy had trouble with the fight.

I’d love if in say jungle temples you were given a key at the end of a small maze to unlock a new labyrinth structure and you must navigate through it to find a massive loot room and if you still have bad omen when in the labyrinth there will be a boss mob that could drop like a key to open a side area in the loot room for more things or maybe an exclusive item

Im betting this video is gonna push you into 200k subs! I guess you are very exicted for this :p

I'm sure everyone has one question: how would it affect the brick pyramid!?

The Trial Omen could be used along with the heavy core and reinforced deepslate for some sort of way to open the portal. First we got the ancient city, then we got an overpowered weapon, they have been making a lot of videos about the End, and promised a new dimension once the End update is released. I'm starting to sense a pattern...

I love LOVVE love love this video and ideas, the potion can change the game forever if they ever explore it further in the future I really like the secret boss/mob would make the game more interesting and more mon This is just a me thing, I like bastion, its among of things I want to (re)build, but I imagine the process can be miserable cus the Brute can come and chop u, sure u can put them in boats, but when u want to fix the room they are in, with the respawn change, I can defeat all of them, rebuild and then respawn them again. Also I think the piglings could drop Magma Cube when defeated or maybe they could add a brand new and secret piglin, also would be cool if they can ride the Hoglin, there are a lot of things they can do here. Anyway, dry bone for smash, uh… amazing video! ^^🎉

As a trail ruins fan, I am completely utterly extremely crushed that you did not mention in the slightest the beasts' potential. (basically makes ancient mobs spawners generate and better loot is what i'm thinking)

For Ruined portals you could have them fill up when you get bad omen and have waves of nether mobs come out of them that you need to fight

Very close to 200K!!!

woah what a good idea

Before I say anything I lost it finding out vivilly is your brother! I love his content so much like his co op vids with horror mods he’s doing with palpers rn! {also he’s a loser} Now back to my thoughts, I love your ideas on how to further integrate the ominous bottle into the game like using it to enter the ancient city portal! I wish minecraft would use these ideas 🙏🏻 I love your MC videos so much because not only are they really entertaining the humor you put into them always has me dying! 🤣

I feel like for the Bastion trial spawners should be added as well with piglins, brutes, hoglins (for stables) and magma cubes (for the treasure bastion maybe but that would remove regular magma cube spawners) They would normally give golden carrots/apples/ingots or a bastion key that unlocks new vaults (they don’t replace all of the chests though and they have better loot than the chests) When ominous, brutes and piglins would spawn with gold, and netherite armor with gold, netherite, or quartz snout trims. Hoglins would have more knockback that even affects netherite armor. For the projectiles they could add an scorching effect which would be oozing but with magma cubes, something similar to webbing but with fire/soul fire, fireballs, strength, and maybe fire resistance that doesn’t apply to the players. The ominous version qould drop the golden carrots/apples (more than the normal one), a gold block, or the ominous bastion key The ominous bastion spawner keys would unlock the treasure vaults which would just have the current loot but harder to obtain as well as possibly having them for each bastion but with different loot. The treasure bastion would be the only one to guarantee the netherite template, but the other ominous vaults would have like a 50% chance

Ideas would be: 1. Adding new Trial Spawners & Vaults to specific structures (Mansions, Strongholdss, Bastions, Fortress, Monuments, and End Cities) with this, rare and limited supply loot like elytra and upgrade template are now Multiplayer Friendly 2. Finally updating the Zombie Siege, it's a hidden event but with the Bad Omen, they could maybe work similar or slightly different than Raids, spawning a bunch of Undeads in a timer or wave style and players will get Hero of The Village when won. 3. The 4 Horsemen, Bad Omen could be use to summon this hidden event rather than spawning naturally. With this, they could maybe update this miniboss to have full set of armor and enchantments to make them harder

Think it would be cool if maybe certain locations have mini-bosses. Like for the desert temple some sort of ancient being/creature arises from the sand. Not only would it make the normal mobs harder but it could be used to spawn rarer never before seen mobs.

8:35 ayo chill odyssey💀💀💀💀💀
