Sadly, this feature has been reverted due to it being an unintentional change. In the same update, witches were formerly neutral to the player and were wearing a hood.Despite being part of raids, they will not attack villagers. In 1.14, witches are a part of Illager Raids, supporting the illagers with healing potions.If a baby villager is struck by lightning, they will still become an adult witch.However, witches do not attack villagers. A villager will turn into a witch if struck by lightning.It can be seen if they decide to drink a potion. Witches have mouths, but they are very tiny.A witch's texture is a texture that is worked off from the villager.Witches are the only mob that uses potions to attack and heal themselves and others.As of 15w49a/1.9, witches now make sounds.The witch is the second gender-specific mob in Minecraft, the first being the Ender Dragon.The types of potions that can be dropped include: fire resistance, instant healing, regeneration, swiftness, or water breathing. A witch will only drop a potion if it is killed while holding/drinking one.The witch has an animation involving its nose.The witch is the one of a few hostile (if they are in a raid) ranged mobs found in the Overworld, the others being skeletons, strays, evokers, illusioners and pillagers.As with melee fighting, a constant barrage of arrows must be maintained to ensure the witch cannot continually drink health potions. Damage must be consistently dealt to a witch to kill it, as it can use healing potions to regenerate health.Īnother effective way is to take it out with a bow, as a player will outrange the witch's splash potions. Keep hitting it, and they will fall quickly. The best way to fight a witch is to get in close and not let it get away. They also spawn when a villager is struck with lightning.Ī witch relies on using harmful potions, such as poison, for ranged attack. Before this update, they could only be found in witch huts. For consistency’s sake, level II Slowness and Weakness potions should be brewable.Since 1.7.2, witches now spawn naturally, though they are rarer than Endermen.For consistency’s sake, Weakness potions should now require Nether Wart.The main ingredient for Invisibility should now be a Tropical Fish.The main ingredient for Slowness should now be a Brick.The main ingredient for Instant Damage should now a Red Mushroom.Mundane and Thick potions should also be removed because they serve no purpose other than to waste the player's precious ingredients. The mechanic of potion corruption should be removed completely.This kind of convoluted system may be intended, but on the off chance it isn't, then allow me to propose a simplification of the brewing system based entirely on Water Bottle + Nether Wart + Main Ingredient + Modifier(s) = Potion. Weakness potions are brewed from Water Bottles, not Awkward Potions, which is unlike every other potion in the game. Slowness can be created by corrupting Speed or Jump Boost.

Corrupting Night Vision yields Invisibility, which is also a positive status effect.

The corruption mechanic, in particular, is very unintuitive and inconsistently applied. I love potions because they add wonderful color and depth to Minecraft, but the process of making them can be rather messy.
