VARIOUS WITCHES MOD

This mod aims to add several witches with unique behaviours and attacks, which use custom potion effects. Currently the mod adds one witch.

REQUIRES SmartBrainLib AND Geckolib

Piglin Witch

The piglin witch spawns in the Piglin Witch Cathedral, which is a common structure in the upper parts of the Nether. The structure itself functions as an arena, containing the witch. It has several lava pools which the player must be wary of.

The piglin witch uses several attacks and potions:

FLASK RAIN

When the player is within a certain close range of the witch, it will throw several combustive flasks into the air, making them rain down randomly around the witch. This attack can be negated if the player uses fire resistance, as the flasks will not damage entities with fire resistance.

METEORIC FALL

When the player is on the other side of the arena, or the witch is stuck in lava, it will use the meteoric fall attack. It affects itself with the Meteoric Fall potion effect and throws a Propulsion potion at itself. Midair, it will launch itself towards the player, aiming to land on top of its target, causing damage and knockback.

PUNCH

If the player is within melee range of the witch, it will attempt to punch the target away, trying to remain a certain distance from the target.

CROSSBOW SHOT

Its most common attack, the Piglin Witch uses COMBUSTION ARROWS, which speed up the farther away they fly, and explode on contact.

Upon death, it drops Crimson Truffle Spores, which are a new type of nether crop. They can be planted on soul sand. Their crop, Crimson Truffles, are used to brew every new type of potion related to the Piglin Witch. They can also be used as food or turned into stew.

Potions

Piglin Witch Potions

- Porcine Potion Used as a base for every other potion in this category. Brewed using a water bottle and a Crimson Truffle.

- Blazing Trail Potion A simple potion brewed using the Porcine Potion and a blaze rod. It makes the affected entity leave a trail of fire.

- Meteoric Fall Potion A positive effect that makes the affected entity leave a fiery shockwave upon landing from a height greater than 1 block. The shockwave's size, damage, and knockback scale with the falling distance. Brewed using a Porcine Potion and magma cream.

- Wart Spores Potion A utility potion that prevents Piglins from zombifying in the overworld. The effect can be made permanent by using a golden apple on an affected Piglin, making them immune to zombification forever. Brewed using a Porcine Potion and nether wart.

- Flame Propulsion Potion A short-duration utility potion that launches the affected entity into the air. Can be used in combination with the Meteoric Fall potion for a powerful attack. Brewed using a Porcine Potion and a firework star.

- Fiery Combustion Potion This is the most dangerous potion in the collection. The first phase of the effect begins to function 30 seconds before it expires; the affected entity will release sizzle sounds in short intervals. As the time decreases, the sizzles get faster and increase in pitch. The second phase starts at the last 10 seconds, indicated by flame particles that spawn at the entity's position; its movement speed increases as the timer gets lower. Once the effect expires, the entity explodes. The explosion scales with the entity's size. Brewed using a Porcine Potion and a fire charge.

Misc

- Crimson Truffle A new food item for the Nether, grown from Crimson Truffle Spores, which are dropped by the Piglin Witch.

- Crimson Truffle Stew Used as a new food source in the Nether. Can be crafted with crimson truffles and a bowl.

- Combustion Arrow A new type of arrow that flies faster the longer it's in the air. It explodes 1.5 seconds after being shot or when it hits an entity or the ground.

- Incendiary Flask A throwable projectile similar to a splash potion. It damages and sets fire to entities it hits. If it hits the ground, it leaves a lingering fire cloud that deals damage in an area of effect (AOE).

FUTURE PLANS

• An undead witch, supporting squads of undead in the overworld.
• A block which lets villagers use different witch "schools" to defend a village.
