YUNG's Better Witch Huts guide for All the Mods 10 1.0 to 8.1

YUNG's Better Witch Huts is a worldgen mod that upgrades the witch huts you find in swamps. It adds several new hut variants that can spawn, plus a witch's circle. The huts have better designs and more meaningful loot than vanilla.^[1]

Keep an eye on the brewing stands inside. They may contain items that hint at some of vanilla's potion recipes, so they're worth checking if you're still learning potions.^[1]

Things to know

• By default, vanilla witch huts no longer spawn. You can re-enable them in the mod's config.^[1]
• The mod is meant to work with every worldgen mod. The project page names YUNG's Better Mineshafts, Better Strongholds, Better Desert Temples, Better Ocean Monuments, YUNG's Extras and YUNG's Bridges.^[1]
• The pack ships version 1.21.1-NeoForge-4.1.1 of the mod, and it has been included since version 2.25 or earlier.^[2]

Who it's for

It suits anyone who likes exploring swamps and wants a better reason to visit them. The new structures and loot make a swamp trip more rewarding than the vanilla hut did.^[1]

Unverified The sources I was given don't show where this mod fits into the pack's progression, and they don't show any changes the pack makes to its recipes, configs or loot. Treat the loot and spawn details above as the mod's own description, not as confirmed pack-specific values.

Good news: there's nothing to craft before you start with this one. YUNG's Better Witch Huts is a world-generation mod. It adds overhauled witch huts to swamps, so your first step is to go and find them.^[1]

What you'll find

• Multiple new hut variants that can spawn, plus a witch's circle.^[1]
• Better hut designs and more meaningful loot than the vanilla huts.^[1]
• Brewing stands that may contain items hinting at some of vanilla's potion recipes. Check them before you leave.^[1]

Vanilla huts are off by default

By default, vanilla witch huts no longer spawn, so the huts you find in swamps are the new ones. If you want the old ones back, the mod's config has an option for that.^[1][3]

Unverified The sources I was given don't confirm any crafting recipes, quests or guidebook entries for this mod in the pack, so there is no recommended first item to make.

Good news: there's very little machinery to learn here. YUNG's Better Witch Huts is a world generation mod. It overhauls the witch huts you find in swamps, and the sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for it.^[1]

What the mod changes in the world

The mod adds several new hut variants that can spawn, plus a witch's circle. The huts have better designs and more meaningful loot than vanilla.^[1]

Brewing stands in these huts may contain items that hint at some of vanilla's potion recipes. If you're hunting for brewing clues, check the stands when you explore.^[1]

Vanilla witch huts

By default, vanilla witch huts no longer spawn, so the swamp huts you find are the mod's versions. The mod's config has a disableVanillaWitchHuts option that controls whether vanilla huts are disabled, and you can re-enable them there.^[1][3]

Unverified Exact hut variant names, spawn rates, loot tables and whether the pack changes the default for disabling vanilla huts are not covered by the available sources, so they are unconfirmed.

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships YUNG's Better Witch Huts 1.21.1-NeoForge-4.1.1. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 1.0 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of this modpack.^[2]
