i dont think we need this page untill we get more info. Although, i do think a "pinnocho on a broom" would be crazy! –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.62.109.70 (Talk) 22:59, 18 September 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Lets keep this page, and dinner bone said, "I decided to go for a less traditional witch look and have an "offshoot villager" kinda thing. It has a magical nose that wiggles, too." –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.172.97.47 (Talk) 23:27, 18 September 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

About foreign wiki list
At all who edit the list of the other foreign wiki please don't move italian wiki to the down because we're the first wiki after this who have created the article about the Witch --Raffox97 05:04, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The interwiki links get sorted by prefix (more or less), not according to which wiki created their page on a subject first. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:20, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Which splash potions are they immune to?
I'm surprised this has not been asked before, as the statement "immune to certain splash potions" glaringly begs the question of which ones. Cultist O 19:09, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Spawning
Do witches spawn naturally because I can't find any. Are they just rare like villages or pyramids or do they just not spawn?


 * Reading the article should tell you that they do not yet spawn without using creative mode spawn eggs. (Check the information under "spawn" two lines below the picture at the top of the page) Cultist O 06:48, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Saw 3 witches inside a sandstone pyramide (normal pyramide with a tnt trap) at swamp biome >_< just now (1.4.2) then found an empty witch's hut ~2000 blocks away. May be spawn code is buggy atm?

I've been camping out near a witch hut for over a dozen game days and no witch. Anyone know the spawn rules? PhilHibbs 19:55, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

12w40b - spawning in witch huts
I have finally found a witch hut on a newly generated map, but so far (2 minecraft days) no witch spawned in / near it. I am wandering around the hut at various distances to give her a chance, but with no luck so far. Anybody seen a witch to actually spawn on its own in the hut? Zyzyzyryxy 19:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I sure havn't. 98.159.27.28 17:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing from what I read later in this Discussion section that, if it's like Nether Fortresses - no single "block," that Spawns them - then it's sort of like those: Rarely I'll see a Blaze, or Wither Skeleton (now) or regular Skeleton (now, and less-common than the Wither ones) in those, but sometimes I won't, initially. Dungeons, too even have a Spawner, but occasionally just because there's a Spawner, it doesn't mean anything's Spawned, just yet (though it seems Witches are much Slower to Spawn, than other things, including in say, the much-Larger Nether Fortresses).

Potion Drops
When i killed 64 witches with fire aspect diamond sword, when they dropped potions the dropped only fire resistance potions. So maybe if you kill the when they are on fire their only potion drop is fire resistance. Like piggies drop cooked meat when they die on fire. Maybe? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Vilkkku (Talk&#124;Contribs) 10:41, 20 October 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * Witches drop potions that they are visibly holding/drinking. When you put a witch on fire, she will drink Potion of Fire Resistance and then Potion of Healing. Try killing one after she drank the first potion and you'll get Potion of Healing. --mgr 13:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Confusion About Swamp Huts.
It says that witches spawn in swamp huts in the swamp biome.

Does this mean that if I build a swamp hut to exact specifications in a swamp biome, they will spawn in it?

Just like villagers won't turn up to populate your houses, no. Also, don't forget to sign with 4 ~. Noobnathan 20:54, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

But witches respawn (or so I've read) at the witch huts, so clearly they don't spawn in a way at all similar to villagers. The real question is, what identifies a swamp hut as a valid location for a witch to spawn? Is there a particular block? For example, does the cauldron perhaps have a special tag / metadata value that identifies it as a Witch's hut? 24.104.142.130 22:58, 26 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen the code yet, but I suspect it's similar to nether fortresses, using a different spawnable mob list for that small part of the world. Which area that spawn list applies to is determined by the world seed, not any specific blocks. -- Orthotope 04:04, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Witch Spawning Egg Bug
Yeah, I just tried to spawn a Witch on a creative world. As soon as I throw the egg, the witch appears for a split second, then vanishes... What the heck?

And to top it off, I spawned a map where a witch's hut was, and there are no witches!

I think this is a bug of some kind...

Witch Huts
Do witch huts generate regardless whether peaceful mode is turned on? --Radical Edward2 16:38, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if on peaceful the witch will instantly despawn. #trigger_hurt (I 16:40, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
