About Swamp Hut
What the structure is, and what it's worth the trip for
A witch hut is the best base for a witch farm: the witch that spawns during generation never despawns, and the hut counts as a witch spawn platform. That makes it a renewable source of redstone, glowstone dust, sugar, gunpowder, and sticks. Enter your seed and this finder returns the nearest hut.
Huts are rare and only appear in swamp biomes (not mangrove swamps), so the finder is the fastest way to locate one.
How it works
The placement rules this finder reproduces
Swamp huts place on a region grid seeded by your world seed, and always in the north-west corner of their chosen chunk. The finder computes the seed-driven placement and returns the nearest hut to your search origin.
Tips
Getting a useful result on the first search
- Light up every cave in a wide radius so only the hut's spawn spaces remain for witches.
- The generation witch never despawns — keep it as your first farm resident.
- Build the collection floor below the hut and let witches fall to a killing chamber.
- See witch-farm layouts on the farms hub.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask about finding this structure
How do I find a witch hut? +
Enter your world seed and this finder returns the nearest swamp hut (witch hut). They generate rarely in swamp biomes — but not mangrove swamps — in the north-west corner of a chunk.
Why build a witch farm at a witch hut? +
The witch that spawns when the hut generates never despawns, and the hut is a valid witch spawn platform. Light up the surrounding caves and build a collection system for a reliable source of redstone, glowstone dust, sugar, and gunpowder.
What's inside a witch hut? +
One witch and one black cat, plus a crafting table, cauldron, and a flower pot with a red mushroom. There's no loot chest — the value is the farmable witch.
