Witch Huts

The Witch Huts are a family of small swamp structures that each house a witch, and usually a cat. Four kinds of witch hut generate in Fear Nightfall: the Luki's Grand Capitals swamp hut, the Terralith witch hut, the Villages & Pillages witch village, and the hut from YUNG's Better Witch Huts. YUNG's Better Witch Huts also adds a separate ruin, the Witch Circle. All of them are horror structures in the pack. Fear Nightfall places witch huts about 30% closer together than the mods' default spacing, and where a witch hut shares a structure set with other structures it has 6 times the weight.

Vanilla swamp huts are disabled. The YUNG's mod disables them by default and the pack keeps that setting, so the vanilla /locate structure swamp_hut command is blocked. The YUNG's hut is located with /locate structure betterwitchhuts:witch_hut instead.

Generation

Witch huts generate on the surface of swamp biomes in the Overworld. The YUNG's hut places in swamps, mangrove swamps and Willow Swamp. The Luki's hut and the Terralith hut place in a wider set of swamp variants, including Bayou, Orchid Swamp, Ice Marsh, Bog, Marsh, Fen, Wetland and Fungal Fen. The Villages & Pillages witch village is placed in the village structure set, and it can generate in mangrove swamps. The exact biome lists, spacing and observed rates are in the infobox and the placement details below.

Huts are rare. In a 26 km² sample of the Overworld, the Luki's swamp hut was the only witch hut that appeared, at about one per 26 km². The YUNG's hut, the Terralith hut and the Villages & Pillages witch village did not appear in that sample.

Several witch-hut types from different mods share one structure set. Those types include the vanilla swamp hut (disabled here), the Hexerei Witch Hut, the Terralith witch hut and the Dungeons & Tombs mangrove hut. The game picks one type that is valid for the local biome, so the types do not overlap on the same spot.

Layout

The YUNG's hut has three templates, a small hut, a large hut and a double-width hut, and each is chosen with equal weight. Every piece of the hut spawns one witch and one cat, bounded to that piece. The Witch Circle is a separate ruin, a stone structure that uses the same witch and cat setup and the same processors.

Five structure processors run on each YUNG's hut piece:

• Leg processor. Placeholder brown stained glass becomes an oak log column. The column is extended straight down through air and fluid until it reaches the first solid block. This is why a hut over water or uneven ground stands on posts.
• Fence-leg processor. Placeholder crimson fences become oak fences, keeping their block states, and are extended down the same way.
• Brewing stand processor. Each brewing stand receives generated contents. One of five ingredient-to-potion recipes is chosen at random for each stand: glistering melon slice for healing, sugar for swiftness, pufferfish for water breathing, golden carrot for night vision, or phantom membrane for slow falling. The stand holds a stack of 2 to 5 of the ingredient, one guaranteed potion, and a 50% chance of a second potion.
• Potted mushroom processor. Potted red mushroom placeholders are replaced at random. Potted brown mushroom is the most common replacement at 20%. Potted cornflower, cactus, dead bush, fern and azalea are each 10%. The rest stay potted red mushroom.
• Witch-circle processor. Used by the circle ruin. Stone bricks, cobblestone and stone brick stairs become mossy or cracked at random, and some cobblestone becomes coarse dirt. Grey placeholders become stone brick, which is also extended down to the ground.

Inhabitants

Each hut type spawns its mobs through the structure's jigsaw spawn overrides. The numbers below are per structure piece.

• YUNG's witch hut. One witch (monster category) and one cat (creature category), bounded to the piece. The cat spawns black, as vanilla swamp-hut cats do.
• YUNG's witch circle. One witch and one cat, bounded to the piece.
• Terralith witch hut. One to two witches and one cat per piece.
• Villages & Pillages witch village. Four to eight witches and two to four cats per piece. This is the most crowded witch-hut type in the pack.
• Luki's swamp hut. One witch, bounded to the whole structure.

The YUNG's hut and circle are also added to the vanilla cat-spawn tags, so cats spawn in them as in vanilla swamp huts.

Loot

The most valuable loot in a YUNG's hut is in its brewing stands. Each stand holds one guaranteed potion from the five types listed above, and about half also hold a second potion. The YUNG's chest table includes sugar, gunpowder, carrot, redstone, spider eye, slime ball, four plain potions and three splash potions, rolled three to five times per chest. Potion (92%) and Arcane Essence (85%) are its most likely entries.

The Luki's swamp hut and the other huts use the chest tables listed below, which include Rope, Cabbage Seeds, Tomato Seeds and Arcane Essence in the Luki's dungeon-style tables.

Tips

Clear a swamp hut before exploring it fully. Witches are hostile, and a Villages & Pillages witch village with four to eight witches per piece is much more dangerous than a single hut, so bring a shield and a ranged weapon.

To find huts, use /locate structure with the structure ID from the table above. Searching swamps with the Dowsing Rod can lead you to swamp biomes, but the rod does not point at huts, so search the swamp on foot once you arrive.
