| Description |
|
I have located in multiple worlds (existing worlds and freshly created worlds) a few of the Swamp Hut structures. However, I have yet to find a witch. I have tried just about everything from waiting days, changing distances from the Hut and more waiting. I have so far been unable to find even one witch that spawned near or in the swamp hut. If this is not a bug and rather it is a issue with spawning conditions, information and specifics on spawning conditions need to be made known. |

This is NOT a duplicate of MC-72. Many witch huts are duds due to being mostly or entirely on River biome. Witches can only spawn in a Swamp biome. If it is not a bug that witches can spawn only on Swamp, then it is a bug that a witch hut can be mostly on River. I think that maybe the requirement to be on Swamp was intentional, but was intended only as a safeguard to prevent them from spawning like crazy everywhere in case something went wrong with the other spawn condition (that they must be in a hut). It was then assumed that the "only on swamp" condition would not matter because Swamp Huts are supposed to generate only in a Swamp. But this assumption is wrong because a hut can actually generate almost entirely on a River. I'd be interested to know whether my guess on this is correct. |

No, as of yet it has not been fixed. Please check MC-72 for any further info. From all that I have gathered, the witches are just EXTREMELY rare. |

Ok I stand corrected. You are right Joseph and thank you for taking the time to point that out to me. |

Marking it as a duplicate of MC-72, please continue discussion there. |

You really thing this is not the same issue as MC-72? You really think there is a totally separate bug regarding witches spawning near witch huts? I mean how can one person claim witches spawn then despawn at witch huts, then another person claim witches "never" spawn at witch huts? Both are playing the same version of the game, but both claims can't possibly be true. Whether or not you had witches despawn, I'm pretty sure they are the same issue. Just try hanging out by a witch hut at night and see if one spawns for you. I know |

This is not a duplicate of MC-72 because I have no proof that it spawned in the first place so it is not a "despawning" issue as far as I know. And |

By the way, this is a duplicate issue of MC-72 and |

I've actually seen several witches spawn in desert temples that appear in swamps, as mentioned in I agree though that this is buggy behavior. |

So then what exactly do I need to do to get a witch to successfully spawn without des pawning? I have tried waiting at many various block distances with no luck. I have yet to even see a clue that a witch spawned even temporarily. If this is not a bug then this is a serious flaw in the spawn conditions. A player should not have to try for hours to find one witch. Quoting the wiki on swamp hits witches commonly spawn in these huts. That is obviously very misleading. Thoughts anyone???? |

This is likely to be due to witches despawning before you reach them. Hostile mobs have a chance to despawn 30 blocks + and they instantly despawn 128blocks+. |
