It is easy to know, if you have this curse or not – it hangs over the player's head. It is enough to have one single villager nearby to trigger the effect.

The curse usually lasts for 100 minutes, but you can have it for longer, in case you or a tamed wolf manage to kill another patrol captain. It is easy to identify the captain as it has a banner on its back.

The effect can 'stack up' up to level Five in Java Edition. The higher the level, the more waves the raid is going to have.
