The Witch

Versions: Minecraft 1.19.2 & 1.20.1

Author: jacobfromnm

Overview

She was once a healer - eventually cast out by the village she once thought home. Now, she watches - an antiquated being - isolated in the shadows, whispering a siren's song, 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, 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.

Configuration file lets you adjust:

• Spawn frequency
• Stare duration threshold
• Light break radius (WARNING: setting this to a large value will most likely cause a significant tick delay)
• Pursuit speed when triggered
• Proximity/Attack sound toggles

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