Intentional? or unintentional? So i was doing survival with the new snapshot as i normally do (The snapshots are coming along great) and i swam across a small channel of water and i saw this:A witch in a forest (No swamps anywhere nearby)Here's another one.. Same biome, different spot..
Zoomed in view:
So i ask.. Is this a bug? Is this witch randomly searching for a new place to call home? Are witches now a "night-time spawn" hostile?
1: It's not halloween yet so why are they spawning now?
2: I hope it's only for halloween,. but then again the variation is nice.. i guess.. :/
1. Because that was in a snapshot for 1.7. By the time 1.7 comes out it will be closer to, if not on, Halloween.
2. I hope so as well. I think Witches are ugly... I don't want them spawning all over the place.
However, I wish that there "huts" were cooler and there was more of a purpose to them.
I think they should just be in swamps spawning on the surface height levels.
I'd rather not see these things everywhere, not for difficulty or something, but because they aren't the most appealing thing and swamps match their theme better.
I hope next update is a mob update.
They added all these biomes and yet there are no unique mobs for any of them.
Lots of possibilities were added.
I'd also like to see harder mobs not spawning at the beginning and spawning more frequently as time passes; that way, we can actually have challenging mobs without making it so that people without diamond gear can leave their houses at night.
Witch huts should just grow some legs and start wandering around.
Some tales tell of a witch living in a house that stood on chicken legs.
Also, this is not a bug. It's an intended feature for Halloween, like zombies wearing pumpkins and my avatar being Halloween related.
I don't really understand why witches need to be a more common mob now? First thought was actually "the new clima system makes Swams too rare, so we now throw the witches at the player instead of changing the biome generation."Not to mention that it makes the game once again harder for new (!) players. Not like the new Zombie (AI), baby Zombies and Sniper Skeletons didn't already do that.
Zombies aren't nearly as insane as they were in 1.6 They got dialed way back on 1.7. Generally they'll spawn 1 maybe 2 new zombies, not the 15 that they were doing.
OT: Rare witch spawns are nice, just keep them rare. I found one in a cave and that was a wake up call for my little adventures. (I play on hard)

Did Mojang actually say it was only for Halloween, or did the clown who put it on the wiki patch notes just assume so?

What!? JUST for Halloween? WHY?
basically this. a great addition to halloween.

LOL
Am I the only person who gets the reference?

Would be a great little nod to quest for glory if it could be done in minecraft.

Now the Awful Waffle Walker, THAT would be a QFG reference.
