Minecraft:Swamp Hut

Template:Redirect Template:Infobox structure Swamp huts (also known as witch huts) are small above ground Minecraft:structures where Minecraft:witches and black cats can spawn.

Generation

Swamp huts generate rarely in Minecraft:swamp biomes, in the north-west corner of a given Minecraft:chunk. They do not generate in Minecraft:mangrove swamps.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Swamp huts can be located with swamp Minecraft:explorer maps, which are sold by Minecraft:jungle, snowy and Minecraft:taiga Minecraft:cartographers.

Structure

The inside of a swamp hut with a witch and black cat inside

Swamp huts consist of a small rectangular building made of Minecraft:spruce planks, with Minecraft:oak log pillars extending down to the ground. There is a small platform outside of the hut that could be an entrance; however, it is several blocks above the ground, and there are no stairs that go up to the hut, although Minecraft:vines can generate from the front platform and down to the ground. The roof of the swamp hut is made up of Minecraft:spruce stairs and Minecraft:spruce planks. The hut is two blocks tall inside.

The inside of a swamp hut consists of a Minecraft:cauldron, a Minecraft:crafting table, and a Minecraft:flower pot with a Minecraft:red mushroom in it.

Template:IN, the cauldron is always empty, while Template:In, the cauldron generates with 1 to 3 bottles of a random Minecraft:potion inside. There is a 25% chance for Minecraft:Potion of Healing or Poison, 15% for Swiftness, 10% for Slowness, Weakness, or Water Breathing, and 5% for Fire Resistance.Template:Citation needed

Minecraft:Witch	Black Cat

Upon world generation, one Minecraft:witch and one stray black cat spawn inside the hut. These never naturally despawn, however, the witch does not spawn when the Minecraft:difficulty is set to Peaceful.

Additionally, witches can spawn at any block within the 7×7×9 (x×y×z) area that constitutes the hut (this 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). Cats can also spawn within this area. However, they require a Minecraft:grass block to spawn on. Template:IN, any other cats to spawn within the swamp hut (from Minecraft:spawn eggs and Minecraft:commands without cat type set) always spawn as black.

The witch and cat wander independently of each other and do not intentionally return to the hut.

Template:IN, witches respawn on only one block within the swamp hut if the witch is killed. The spawn point is on the hut floor, two blocks in front of the Minecraft:crafting table.

History

Trivia

• The "hut" part of a swamp hut generates on or above the surface, while the wood "pillars" extend down until they reach solid ground. This means that if part of a swamp hut is at sea level and another part is on top of deep ground, such as a Minecraft:canyon, the pillars on the deep-ground side go all the way down to the bottom.
• A black cat spawning in a witch hut follows European folklore that Template:W.
