What Does the Ominous Banner Do

An Illager banner (also known as an Ominous Banner in Java Edition) is a special banner type that can be carried by Illager captains. Killing an Illager captain that is not on a raid will give the player the Bad Omen effect.

What can you do with an Illager banner?

Using this special illager banner in a crafting table, with the banner in the center and 3 sticks across the top, 2 on either side of the banner, and one on the bottom of it, creates the Pillager War Flag. Placing this in a village will cause a horn sound to play and the flag will disappear.

Can you wear a Illager banner?

This is just a small fun little addition to the game, you can now wear banners by placing them in your head slot. This idea came from the Illager Captain wearing a banner. It would look just like that except with the banner of your choice.
