Witchery is a classic Minecraft magic mod about witchcraft, brewing and dark rituals. This is a fan-made port of Witchery 0.24.1 from Minecraft 1.7.10 to Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge 47).

The goal is a faithful port: every feature follows the original code, with the same numbers, chances and rules.

What you can do

Grow witch woods and magic plants, and brew potions in the witch's cauldron and the kettle.
Build an altar for magic power, then draw chalk circles and perform rites.
Bind familiars, craft poppets and use curses, infusions and symbol magic.
Become a vampire or a werewolf, and face bosses such as Death, Lilith and Leonard.
Travel to the Spirit World, the Mirror World and the Torment dimension.

See the Porting progress tab for the current state, and Known differences for what behaves differently from 1.7.10.

The original mod was made by Emoniph, who has been away from the internet for quite a while. This is the link to the original 1.7.10 mod:

The port follows the original 1.7.10 source feature by feature. Every system is now ported; what remains is testing, polish and the odd leftover.

Things that behave differently from the original 1.7.10 mod.

1.7.10 used damage values and metadata. In 1.20.1 every variant is its own id, for example witchery:mandrake_root.

Witchery's own raw and cooked mutton were dropped. Recipes use minecraft:mutton.

The 1.7.10 mod had none.

Rites never lift or destroy unbreakable blocks such as bedrock. 1.7.10 could raise bedrock with the Rite of Raising Earth.

The Rite of Transposition also lifts deepslate iron and gold ore, and crystal ball ore predictions count deepslate forms too.

The cauldron and kettle also heat over soul fire and lit campfires.

Brew names and descriptions are worked out in the reader's language. 1.7.10 stored the text in the server's language when the brew was bottled.

It is the 1.20 cat with the black cat texture, so it moves and sits like a modern cat (with no collar, as in 1.7.10).

1.20 has no village object, so "the village" means villagers within range. Hobgoblins always trade and breed, with a population cap of six instead of counting village doors.

Off by default, as in 1.7.10. Enable it with AllowGoddessStatueRecipe in config/witchery-common.toml.

Gulg and Mog show a boss bar, and the old damage-threshold handler is replaced by the same 15-per-blow cap.

Vanilla 1.20 checks poses with the unscaled hitbox, so a shrunken player in a one-block gap may crawl instead of walking upright.

Some animated icons (Leonard's urn, the compasses) show their first frame only for now.

Settings live in config/witchery-common.toml, with the same names as 1.7.10's witchery.cfg.

Witch Hunters, Village Guards and Iron Golems no longer attack nor damage each other
