The Witch

Versions: Forge 1.19.2 / 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 - Fabric 1.20.1 / 1.21.1

Author: jacobfromnm

Requires: Fabric API (Fabric only). Cloth Config is optional and adds an in-game settings screen.

Overview

She was once a healer - cast out by the village she once thought home. Now, she watches - an antiquated being - isolated in the shadows, weeping for her old life, drawn to those who linger for too long in her spaces. You may not see her at first… you may hear her. If you catch her gaze, it may be too late.

Features:

• She spawns near players occasionally (every couple of in-game days by default), bringing a thunderstorm in most cases (70% chance).
• She observes the player idly, not a persistent/lingering or 'dweller' like presence.
• Journals containing her story will spawn intermittently.
• Plays an ambient sound when the player is near.
• Destructive: she will destroy all light sources in the set range if triggered.
• Eye contact makes her aggressive.
• Invincible, but despawns immediately when hit.
• Config File: Customize spawn frequency, stare duration, light break radius, pursuit speed, darkness and candle effects, and proximity/attack/scream sounds.

Spoiler / Hints

Don't hold her gaze. If you hear her singing, look away... and keep a spare torch.

Feedback/Suggestions are welcome - thanks for checking it out, I hope it adds to your experience!

Known Bugs:

• Regarding the config, setting the light break radius to a large value will most likely cause a significant tick delay.
• None known otherwise at the time - please report if any are found.
