Witches are hostile mobs that use potions in combat, using various splash potions for offense and drinkable potions for defense.

Spawning

A witch may spawn in the Overworld above opaque blocks at a light level of 0 in all biomes except for mushroom fields and deep dark. Witches always spawn individually. Witches are the only mobs that can spawn in the small area around a swamp hut.

Swamp biomes feature swamp huts, which spawn a witch and a black cat inside during world generation, and both never despawn. After world generation, only witches can spawn in the hut, provided that the entire hut is inside a swamp biome.

In Java Edition, only witches spawn in the 7×7×9 volume that is the hut, which is the size of the roof and one block over the porch, from one level below the floor of the hut to two blocks above the roof.

In Bedrock Edition, the hut has a hardcoded spawn spot on which witches spawn: the spawn spot is the same for every hut.

Some witches always spawn as part of raids starting from wave 4 in Bedrock Edition or wave 3 or 4 in Java Edition depending on the world difficulty.

A villager transforms into a witch when lightning strikes within four blocks from it. A witch transformed from a villager does not despawn naturally and cannot be changed back into a villager. This witch attacks the player with its potions even if the player traded with it before.

Drops

Guaranteed

On death, a witch always drops redstone.

Item		Roll Chance	Quantity (Roll Chance)
			Default	Looting I	Looting II	Looting III
	Redstone Dust	100%	4–8	4–9	4–10	4–11

Variable

In addition to the drops above, a witch rolls its loot table between 1 and 3 times, selecting one of the following rows each time with stick prioritized:

Item		Roll Chance	Quantity (Roll Chance)
			Default	Looting I	Looting II	Looting III
	Glowstone Dust	1–3 × 1/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Sugar	1–3 × 1/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Spider Eye	1–3 × 1/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Glass Bottle	1–3 × 1/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Gunpowder	1–3 × 1/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5
	Stick	1–3 × 2/7	0–2	0–3	0–4	0–5

As result, no Looting averages two additional items per kill, Looting I averages three, Looting II averages four and Looting III averages five. The likelihood of dropping the maximum amount of 15 additional items is ¹⁄₈₁ or 1.234% because of the complexity of the loot table. In version 1.21 with the new droptable some mass testing resulted in an average of 0.27 gunpowder, spider eyes, glass bottles, sugar and glowstone dust per witch killed, 0.57 sticks per witch killed, and 6 redstone per witch killed, with no Looting.

One of four types of drinkable potion has an 8.5% chance of dropping if a witch is killed while drinking the potion. The chance is increased by 1% for every level of Looting. A witch drops one of the following potions in this case:

• Potion of Healing
• Potion of Fire Resistance
• Potion of Swiftness
• Potion of Water Breathing

5XP experience is dropped when kill credit is given to the player.

Behavior

The magical effect made of purple particles that witches emit from time to time.

A witch is occasionally surrounded by purple morning star-shaped particles. Every second, there is a 1.5% chance for 10 to 44 ornamental particles to appear above its head, representing shining stars named “witch” in Java Edition or “witchspell” in Bedrock Edition.

In Java Edition, any witch is given the Glowing status effect for three seconds when the bell block is rung within 32 blocks of it regardless of whether it participates in raids or not. A witch is neither an illager nor a villager.

A witch cannot use housing or the equipment in their swamp huts, and cannot open doors.

Witches are peaceful toward villagers and wandering traders when not participating in raids, although their potions can hit one by accident. Witches that participate in a raid seek out illagers and ravagers to throw splash potions of Regeneration with a duration of 45 seconds near them or Instant Health if they have a low health of 4HP points or less.

The poison, instant damage, evoker fangs, warden's sonic boom, Wither, and Thorns Enchantment magical sources are 85% less effective against witches.

A witch pursues the player within 16 blocks and uses potions of the first level in combat, throwing splash potions offensively and drinking potions defensively. These potions are the same as ones obtainable through brewing, with the same duration. A witch has an infinite stock of potions, even when transformed from a villager or not having had any potions equipped in their inventory. Each potion chosen by the witch depends on the circumstance and is thrown within ten blocks and in a three-second interval.

• The witch throws a splash potion of Slowness if the player is eight, nine or ten blocks away and does not already have the Slowness effect. This makes it harder for the player or mob to escape if they attempt to.
• The witch throws a splash potion of Poison if the player's health is at least 8HP and is not already poisoned.
• The witch has a 25% chance of throwing a splash potion of Weakness if the player is 3 or less blocks away and does not already have the Weakness effect. Also, the player's health has to be at 8HP or less, or have the poison effect applied to them. This is used to weaken the player or mob's melee attacks on the witch if they attempt to. The Weakness effect can be used to cure zombie villagers into villagers.
• If none of the above conditions are true, the witch defaults to using a splash potion of Harming, which does 6HP magical damage.

A witch can choose to equip and drink a potion each game tick (¹⁄₂₀ second) if it is not already drinking a potion. Drinking the potion takes 1.6 seconds and slows down its moving speed a little. The witch does not attack during this time.

• When the hitbox of the witch is 80% under water and the witch is lacking the Water Breathing status effect, there is a 15% chance of drinking a potion of Water Breathing.
• When the witch is on fire or the last damage taken by it in the past two seconds was fire damage, there is a 15% chance of drinking a potion of Fire Resistance.
• When the witch is not at full health, there is a 5% chance of drinking a potion of Healing which heals 4HP.
• When the witch is eleven or more blocks from a target and does not have the Speed effect, there is a 50% chance of drinking a potion of Swiftness.

As a result, witches are difficult to kill via suffocation or cacti due to their frequent use of healing potions, cannot drown underwater and cannot die from fire or lava unless when at low health.

If the witch, ravager or illager raid members kill all the villagers in a village or all the village beds are destroyed, witches jump and show unique sound effects in commemoration to their victory.

In Bedrock Edition, witches attack iron golems and snow golems or any mob that attacks it, including other witches and illagers, throwing harmful splash potions.

In Java Edition, witches drink a beneficial potion, often an instant-health healing potion, when they are attacked by evoker fangs, illager mobs or harming potions from other witches and join an illager patrol if sufficiently near to the pillager, vindicator, evoker and illusioner patrol captain mobs. The witches that join a patrol are hostile toward villagers, wandering traders and iron golems if in their sight.

In Java Edition, witches can ride any mob via commands, including boss mobs. In Bedrock Edition, witches cannot ride ravagers as a witch is not considered an illager.

Sounds

Java Edition:
Witches use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

History

September 13, 2012							Nathan Adams hints about adding the witch mob in the Pretty Scary Update because it is a halloween-themed mob that would act as the second ranged mob to be added to the game's Overworld and that the witch's texture would be some variation of the villager’s to give it an "outcast villager" feeling.
September 21, 2012							As witches are based on the Slavic folk tales, Nathan Adams confirmed a suggestion made by Reddit user Mr_Pennybags in the Minecraft Reddit community that witches are to live in swamp witch huts.
[hide]Java Edition
1.4.2			12w38a				Added witches, hostile monster mobs based on the witch found in the Baba Yaga folk tale from Eastern Europe. The witch from Slavic folklore also lives in a swamp hut with foundations that resemble "chicken legs". When the subject of witches dropping sticks to represent magic wands was brought up, Nathan Adams jokingly replied that it is because witches are made of wood. He later explained that it was a reference to this scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
							Witches do not have unique sounds, fit through two block tall gaps despite being taller than two blocks with their hats and protect themselves from damage by drinking ordinary potions.
							Witches do not naturally spawn and can be spawned only in Creative mode using spawn eggs.
							Witches use splash potions, such as Poison, Weakness, Instant Harming or Slowness to fight the player.
							When drinking a potion, a witch's nose lifts and points forward. A witch's nose slightly wiggles when idle. Witches have small mouths hidden under their noses. During their potion-drinking animation, this mouth becomes visible from the side. Though witches are modeled after villagers, they do not share any attributes of villagers; they cannot utilize housing and cannot open doors.
			12w38b				Besides the rare equipment drops, witches now have common drops, including water bottles, glass bottles, sticks, redstone dust, glowstone dust, gunpowder and spider eyes.
							Witches can no longer hurt themselves.
							The texture of witches has been changed slightly. Their skin color is now pale.
							With the texture change of the witch's skin color, witches drinking are now also pale.

1.7.2			13w37a				Witches can now drink and drop potions of Water Breathing, an effect added in this same version.
							The potion-drinking position of witches has been changed.
			13w42a				One or two witches can now spawn anywhere where the light level is 7 or less, including any biome at night and in poorly-lit caves.

							The witch hut's spawning zone height has been increased by 2.
1.9			15w31a				Witches now spawn individually and have a 50% chance of choosing a potion of Swiftness when relevant instead of a 43.75% chance.
							The potion-drinking position of witches has been changed.
1.9			15w47b				Added sounds for witches idling, taking damage, dying, drinking and throwing potions.

1.11			16w42a				Witches that spawn upon the world generation of witch huts no longer despawn.
1.14			18w43a				The texture of witches has been changed.
							With the texture change of witches, the witch’s drinking animation has now also been changed.
			18w47a				Witches can now spawn as part of raids.
							Witches no longer attack each other.
			18w50a				Witches are now neutral mobs. This was confirmed by Slicedlime to be an unintentional change.
							The appearance of witches have been changed, adding a purple cowl. This was confirmed by Jasper Boerstra to be an unintentional change. The cowl was always in the texture map but it just was not rendered. Due to the new villager model system now it did.
			19w02a				Witches are once again hostile mobs.
							The texture changes of the witch from 18w50a have been reverted.
			19w13a				If a raid kills all the villagers or destroys all the beds in a village, raiding witches celebrate their victory by jumping and showing unique sounds.
