SCP-3998, The Wicker Witch Lives
by Zcoper
SCP-3998, The Wicker Witch Lives adds a hostile mob drawn from the SCP universe, a skeletal witch that ignites at night and is bound to a wooden cross.
What it does
The mob is a human cadaver without legs, fixed to a wooden cross. By day it stays inactive and only drips a yellow liquid. At night it bursts into flames and becomes fire-immune, and water stops it from igniting. It spawns anywhere on the overworld surface, like an ordinary monster, and only one instance of it exists in a world at a time.
The mod punishes murder. When a player kills villagers or other players, the creature ignites and hunts within 60 blocks of the player, and a command can reduce the kill count. The mod is made with MCreator and requires Geckolib to run. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1, released on 2026-06-10. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and it is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Night ignition
The creature stays dormant during the day and bursts into flames once night falls, then moves in that state.
Murder punishment
Attempting to kill villagers or other players triggers the omen, and the flames follow the offender.
Adjustable kill count
A command resets the wicker witch kill counter, so server owners can reverse the penalty for murders.
Config file
The mod includes a config file for adjusting its behavior on the server.
