So @Dinnerbone recently tweeted that the new ranged overworld mob in Minecraft is going to be a Witch.
I honestly don't think that fits Minecraft. I mean witches? I know it probably would be scary, since its a person rather than a monster or animal. But still.... Witches? Seriously? On reddit someone suggested a Headless Pig Jockey. Thats more like Minecraft. Witches? More like something that would be in a magical game. I liked all the Minecraft related mobs. Skeletons, creepers, zombies etc... Witches have nothing to do with Minecraft.
But I'm still looking forward to freaking out when I see one and running to hide in my shelter. But still, I honestly
dont think its a good idea. Hopefully its spawn rate will be very low...
From what I seen dinnerbone tweet it won't be your typical Witch, something along the lines of a Villager Witch or something. I thought the same as you but if he is trying to make it different all is good.
I've been poking him to add some kind of snow biome spirit to haunt you on occassions but of course I keep getting ignored. Just want snow biomes to get some love .
Edit: Also, just like with the Enderman and the Wither we'll learn to love it all in the end. Just need to see a let's play or someone you respect reviewing it and you'll accept the witch.
Monsters at night can be headless goats for what I mind, but first of all I want new passive mobs! Look at how few there is compared to user-made mods like Mo'creatures! Im tired of cows, chickens, pigs etc all over, I want penguins nao!
We have armless green creatures who explode, squidward-like villagers, Zombie Pigmen, Mushroom cows, snowmen with pumpkin heads, whatever the heck a ghast is, and WITCHES don't fit in?
Do we know if this is a hostile mob? Is it further protection for the Villagers? The Golems can't do their job if they have spawned inside a house or get into tight fitting alleys.
Everyone is a bit picky when a new mob is added to the game, there's always something you don't like about it. But think about it, skeletons and giant spiders and stuff are pretty Halloween-y. Witches fit in the genre of the current mobs we have, plus it will be cool if they have some kind of relationship with villages.
Burning witches at a stake anyone?
Also, there was some mention earlier about consequences for hitting villagers, or killing them for bad trades. Maybe there's a relationship here?
Good point. Theyre deff. hostile mobs. Maybe if you attack a villager witches will start spawning and trying to kill you.
Im slowly starting to like the idea. Just the fact that its witches I dont though. But I love the creepyness of an evil person mob thats out there somewhere, rather than undead zombies with no brains...
I personally don't really like the idea of witches, I think that it would be better if they were a ghoul (I think of this as a skeleton in a black robe) I am not sure why I think this, but I just think that it would fit better... I guess.
I think its really cool. I did like when they added the enderman but it didn't seem 'regular' enough for me since they are higher damage and more uncommon. I hope the witch is another overworld mob that we run into a lot and it'd be cool to have a flying overworld enemy.
If you find witches boring then you should find the entire Halloween update from the past boring.
Okay so now all they need is some more hostile mobs in Minecraft. The harder it is the better. I still find the idea of the Headless Pig Jockey the funniest and awesomest suggestion though xD.

What do you guys think?

This man gets it.
Basicaly an evil testificate with magical powers.
I'm OK with this. Wainting for more detail. I don't see how this would "not fit in minecraft".
However, it's gonna be a villager, reinforcing the idea that you're basically alone.
those would be cool

Whatever the hell a magic nose is. Pinnochio has a magic nose.
