Ominous Trial Key
minecraft:ominous_trial_keyThe Ominous Trial Key is a stackable item obtained from ominous trial spawners inside trial chambers, dropping at roughly a 30% chance once a spawner's ominous trial is completed. It exists solely to unlock ominous vaults, the more dangerous counterpart to standard vaults, which reward superior loot.
FAQ
Can I use a regular trial key on an ominous vault?
No. Ominous vaults only accept ominous trial keys, and standard trial keys only open standard vaults; the two are not interchangeable.
How do I obtain an Ominous Trial Key?
Defeat an ominous trial triggered at an ominous trial spawner inside a trial chamber; the spawner has roughly a 30% chance to drop the key on completion.
Is the Ominous Trial Key renewable?
Yes. Since ominous trial spawners regenerate their trials, players can farm multiple ominous trial keys from the same trial chamber over time.
What happens if I rename my Ominous Trial Key?
In Java Edition, renaming the key can trigger a known bug that prevents it from opening standard ominous vaults, so it is best left unrenamed.
