Swamp Sorcery: Spooky Minecraft Witches
In the vast and mysterious world of Minecraft, players encounter a wide range of friendly, but sometimes also dangerous creatures.
Conquering the Minecraft Witch
One such spooky opponent is the Minecraft witch. With its potent potions and bewitching powers, this mob poses a unique threat. But don’t throw your hat just yet! We’re here to give you some strategies and tips on how to find a witch in Minecraft, how to defeat her and the treasures that await you. We’ll also have a look inside the infamous Minecraft witch hut! So buckle up and get ready for a scary ride.
How to Find a Minecraft Witch
To begin your quest against the Minecraft witch, you’ve got to know her mysterious whereabouts. Of course, you can just wander around your world until you stumble upon a witch, as they can spawn about anywhere in the overworld with a low enough light level. However, there is an easier and less time-consuming approach:
Home Sweet Hut – The Minecraft Witch Hut
If you want to reliably find a witch, you can just visit her at home. A bit intrusive, sure, so be prepared to encounter some resistance from the homeowner. Minecraft witch huts can often be found in swamp biomes. They are small houses on stilts that tend to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding environment, making them pretty hard to spot. On the inside they’re pretty bare, equipped only with a crafting table and cauldron for the witch to brew her potions. Be prepared that once you’ve killed the witch, their home won’t stay empty for long – the housing market is spooky these days – and another witch will spawn inside.
Witch huts have one unique property, as along with the witch there always spawns a black cat inside. Black cats are otherwise very hard to find and only spawn outside of witch huts during a full moon with a 50% chance. So if you want to complete your cat collection, try a Minecraft witch hut and make sure to carry some raw fish, just in case.
Once you’ve found yourself a Minecraft witch hut, you need to carefully approach it.. Because the Minecraft witch is a strong opponent, you have to be sure to protect yourself. So grab your armor, weapons and potions to enhance your chances of surviving. Now the fun may begin!
Fun Fact:
Not every witch in Minecraft is inherently a bad person (or rather, mob). When a villager is hit by lightning, it will transform into a witch! So be careful when wandering around a village during a thunderstorm!
How to Defeat a Witch in Minecraft
Now let’s finally get to the exciting things: the confrontation and defeat of the spooky MC witch. You can run into battle, your war cry bursting through the swamp, or you can try to be at least a bit strategic. Here are some tips to get you ready to fight the Minecraft witch:
- Beware of her potions: The witch has many potions in her pocket and won’t hesitate to use them on you! She will try to hit you with splash potions of either slowness, poison or weakness. However, if she herself is in trouble, she’ll prioritize drinking some potions herself with a healing or speed effect for example. This, combined with her already high base HP, makes her especially annoying because they can heal while you try to kill them, so they’re tougher than they look. We also recommend bringing buckets of milk to clear the potion effects instantly.
- Keep your distance: To best avoid her potion attacks, try to not get in too close and preferably use ranged weapons, like bow and arrow or a crossbow to defeat the witch from afar.
- Timing is everything: Wait for her to throw a potion, dodge it and attack back before she can hit you again, or go in hard when she drinks a potion herself, as she can’t attack during that time.
To deal even more damage, try enchanting your weapons with enchantments like sharpness on your sword or power for your bow. So yeah, a trip to an enchantment table beforehand is worth it. You want to be even more damage resistant? Enchant your armor too! There are some pretty useful ones like protection. If you’re unsure, check out our blog about the best enchantments in Minecraft!
Witch Way to the Loot? Reaping the Rewards of the Minecraft Witch
Finally, you did it! You defeated the Minecraft witch! At least we hope you did but let’s stay optimistic, okay? Now, it is time to revel in the spoils of your victory. You deserve it! Sure, it’s not that much, but at least it wasn’t for nothing. The Minecraft witch commonly drops quite valuable loot upon defeat, including items like:
These items are essential for brewing your own potions and can also be used for various crafting recipes. While a single witch sure won’t make you rich, you might want to consider turning a witch hut into a MC witch farm. This will allow you to easily gather a ton of redstone or glowstone, which otherwise can be quite time-consuming to get your hands on.
Conquering the Minecraft witch is no small feat, but with careful preparation, awesome combat skills and perseverance you will be victorious. From a treacherous battle to rewarding drops and the secrets within the Minecraft witch hut, this journey is full of suspense. Now you’re probably really excited, right? If that’s the case, grab some friends and hop on a Minecraft server from GPORTAL. Off you go! Your fight against the Minecraft witch awaits you. Have fun and good luck!
