Witchbound 2.0.0 "Every Gift Has a Price"

The Witch Hut is now Witchbound (listed as Remnants | Witchbound), a witchcraft RPG. The mod id is unchanged (better_witch_huts) and 1.0 worlds keep loading.

New

• Seven coven huts, each placed only where the land suits it:
  • The Old Hut (the 1.0 hut, repaired)
  • Bog Hut
  • Mangrove Roost
  • Hedge Cottage
  • Nightshade Circle
  • Rime Hut
  • Bone Hut
• Resident Coven Witches, one per hut, with names. They never despawn, never join raids and fight only if provoked. Right-click one to open the Coven screen.
• Pacts: 12 permanent bargains, each a Gift and a Price. Three are offered per resident per day, with 1 to 3 slots depending on your standing. They survive death and milk, and a resident undoes one for 24 emeralds.
• Hexes: 8 lasting curses.
  • Witches channel them in battle; hitting the witch breaks the spell.
  • They survive death and milk.
  • Each rolls a task that breaks it. Witch Bottles and residents can break them too.
• Coven Standing from −100 to 100, in six tiers. Kin are left alone by wild witches.
• Errands (20 kinds), offerings and remedies at every resident.
• Items: Grimoire (your ledger), Witch Bottle (breaks a hex), Poppet (catches a hex).
• Pacts and hexes appear as status-effect sigils on the HUD.
• Advancements: a 25-advancement "Witchbound" tab.
• Config: config/better_witch_huts.json with comments.
• Commands: /witchbound and operator tools.
• Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.3 (Fabric and NeoForge).

Changed

• The 1.0 hut no longer has a witch spawner: a brewing stand and Granny Hollowell live there now. Its chest and barrels draw from loot tables (1.0 had fixed iron in one chest).
• The hut generates in plains, sunflower plains, forests and birch forests. Swamps and dark forests have their own huts now.
• Huts are terrain-aware and far less rare. 1.0 used spacing 150; the new huts use 14 to 30 chunks per hut type.
• No dependencies. 1.0 required jauml without saying so.

Compatibility

• Same mod id and same better_witch_huts:witch_hut structure id. Half-generated 1.0 huts finish from the unchanged 1.0 template.
• Works alongside YUNG's Better Witch Huts and other swamp-hut mods.
• Fabric 1.21.1 / 26.1.2 / 26.2 / 26.3 (needs Fabric API) and NeoForge 1.21.1 / 26.1.2 / 26.2 / 26.3. Java 21 for 1.21.1, 25 for 26.x.
