The Witch Hut
The Witch Hut is a world generation mod that places handcrafted witch huts in swamps, dark forests and other magical locations across the world.
What it does
Witch huts generate naturally as structures, and each one holds randomized magical loot, with some containing hidden compartments and secret chests with rarer treasures. The huts are furnished with detailed interiors, potion-crafting equipment, magical decorations and environmental storytelling elements meant to make each location feel unique and lived-in.
Witches inside the huts vary in behavior. The structures fit the biomes they appear in without breaking the vanilla style.
The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It works on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.17.1 – 26.2.
