Where do witch huts spawn?

Witch huts (swamp huts in the game) spawn rarely in the Swamp biome of the Overworld. They do not spawn in Mangrove Swamps. Because they are rare and swamps are dark and flat, a seed finder is the fastest way to find one for a witch farm.

Dimension	Overworld
Biomes	Swamp
Good to know	Rare, even inside swamps. Never in Mangrove Swamp. A witch and a black cat spawn with the hut. Witches keep spawning in the hut's 7×7×9 area, which is what witch farms use.

What our engine measured

We ran our engine on 1,000 random seeds (Java 26.3) and measured how far the nearest witch huts is from world spawn, searching up to 10,000 blocks away.

Median distance from spawn: 3,104 blocks
9 in 10 seeds: nearest within: 5,571 blocks
Seeds with one within 10,000 blocks: 100%

How to find witch huts without a seed map

Buy a swamp explorer map from a jungle, snowy or taiga village cartographer.
Search swamps in daylight: the hut stands on oak log stilts above the water.
Look for a small spruce-plank building with a potted red mushroom.
Use /locate structure minecraft:swamp_hut in a creative test copy of your world to check a spot.

What you find inside

What	Details
Witch	Spawns with the hut and never despawns naturally. Witches do not spawn on Peaceful.
Black cat	One black cat spawns with the hut.
Cauldron	Empty in Java Edition.
Crafting table and potted red mushroom	The only other furnishing; there is no chest.

Java vs Bedrock

In Java Edition the cauldron is always empty; in Bedrock Edition it can hold potions. In Bedrock, respawning witches appear on only one block inside the hut, which changes how witch farms are built. Structure positions differ between Java and Bedrock for the same seed; this finder uses Java generation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a witch hut in Minecraft?

Enter your seed in the witch hut finder to get coordinates, or buy a swamp explorer map from a jungle, snowy or taiga cartographer. In a test world, /locate structure minecraft:swamp_hut gives the nearest one.

Is there loot in a witch hut?

No chest. You get a crafting table, a cauldron and a potted red mushroom, plus the witch and black cat that spawn with it.

Why use a witch hut for a farm?

Witches keep spawning inside the hut's 7×7×9 area, so you can build a witch farm around it for their drops.

Why is there no witch hut at the coordinates?

Positions are predictions from world generation, and terrain can stop a hut from generating. Check that your seed and version match, and confirm with /locate.

Does it work for Bedrock?

Not yet. Structure positions differ on Bedrock for the same seed, and our Bedrock mode shows biomes only.
