How to Tame and Set Up a Baby Witch Shopkeeper

Taming a Juvenile Witch

Baby Witches can be converted from wilderness threats into supportive healers and stationary merchants. Prepare Fermented Spider Eyes before searching for one. Approach the juvenile witch with a Fermented Spider Eye in your hand and right-click the mob repeatedly until it accepts the item and enters tamed mode.

Managing Healing and Shopkeeper Ranks

A tamed baby Witch provides two distinct utilities depending on your active orders:

• Follow Mode (Mobile Healer): Right-click the witch with an empty hand so it follows you. When your health drops low during combat or exploration, the baby Witch automatically throws Splash Potions of Instant Health II at you to keep you alive.
• Stay Mode (Trade Shopkeeper): Right-click the witch with an empty hand to order it to stay in place, such as inside your base or near crafting stations. Placing the witch in Stay mode opens a trade shop. As the witch remains stationed, it advances through five distinct shopkeeper ranks, progressing from a Hedge Witch up to a High Witch and providing new trade offers.

To check your witch's health status, hold Shift and right-click with redstone or other valid healing items to inspect its current health points without using up the item.
