Ritual JSON, directory: ritual
Rituals are data-driven and run through an ordered list of ritual_events. Each event is either a requirement (at least one has to be present), an output (a produced effect), or neutral (an ambient/ongoing effect), and all requirements need to come before anything else in the list. As soon as the first output event is reached, the ritual enters its "output phase": altar_power gets consumed, altar_power_per_second starts draining, and a sound plays. Outputs can also run in parallel.

}| Key | Description |
|---|---|
type |
Always "witchery:ritual". |
ritual_events |
Ordered list of ritual events (see below). Requirement events must all precede non-requirement events. |
pattern |
Visual layout using characters defined in block_mapping, forming the ritual circle shape. |
block_mapping |
Mapping of pattern characters to block IDs. |
altar_power |
Amount of altar power consumed once the ritual enters its output phase. |
altar_power_per_second |
Amount of altar power drained per second while in the output phase (ritual cancels if it can't be paid). |
celestial_conditions |
List of celestial events required ("day", "night", "full_moon", "new_moon", "waxing", "waning"). Empty means no requirement. |
weather |
Required weather conditions: "clear", "rain", "storm". Empty means no requirement. |
coven_count |
Minimum number of coven members required nearby (0 means not required). |
require_cat |
If true, requires a cat familiar (or a coven member with one) to start the ritual. |
Every event shares a common delay field: ticks to wait, from when its turn comes up, before it starts ticking.
Requirement
| Type | Description | Extra fields |
|---|---|---|
witchery:consume_items |
Waits for matching items dropped near the chalk or held in Grasspers | items, timeout |
witchery:consume_items_with_particles |
Same as above, with particle feedback per item consumed | items, timeout, particle_speed, particles_per_item |
witchery:consume_sacrifice |
Waits for and kills nearby living entities, one per slot in entities (see below) |
entities, timeout, drop |
entities is an ordered list of slots. Each slot needs one sacrifice, filled in order, so the list length is the total number of sacrifices required. A slot is one of:
| Form | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Entity type | "minecraft:pig" |
Needs exactly that entity type |
| Entity tag | "#minecraft:raiders" |
Needs any entity in that entity type tag |
| Any-of list | ["minecraft:villager", "minecraft:cow"] |
Needs any ONE of the listed types or tags |
Any-of lists can mix types and tags, e.g. ["#c:animals", "minecraft:villager"]. Tags use the # prefix and live in data/<namespace>/tags/entity_type/.
An any-of list is one slot, not one per option. To require several sacrifices, add several slots (e.g. three cows is three "minecraft:cow" entries).

Nature Altar power JSON, directory: nature
Limit is how much power one altar can take. Power is power per block. Matches either a specific block or a tag.
{
"block": "minecraft:carrots",
"limit": 20,
"power": 4
}or
{
"tag": "minecraft:crops",
"limit": 20,
"power": 4
}Altar Augments JSON, directory: altar_augments
A fuller example:
{
"block": "minecraft:skeleton_skull",
"category": "head",
"bonus": {
"light_bonus": 0.0,
"head_bonus": 0.15,
"chalice_bonus": 0.0,
"range_multiplier": 1.0,
"has_pentacle": false,
"has_infinity_egg": false
}
}You don't need to fill in every field:
{
"block": "witchery:chalice",
"bonus": {
"chalice_bonus": 1.0
},
"category": "chalice"
}Matches by block or by tag, and can also require specific blockstate values via state_conditions:
{
"tag": "witchery:candelabras",
"bonus": {
"light_bonus": 2.0
},
"category": "light",
"state_conditions": [
{ "property": "lit", "value": "true" }
]
}Augments are split into 5 categories. Only the best augment in each category applies, so multiple augments of the same category don't stack.
| Category | Effect |
|---|---|
light |
Increases power multiplier. Affects power generation rate |
head |
Increases both power multiplier and power boost |
chalice |
Increases power boost. Adds flat power to max capacity |
range |
Multiplies the altar's detection range for nature power sources |
special |
Unique effects like has_pentacle or has_infinity_egg |
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
light_bonus |
double | Percentage increase to power multiplier (0.1 = 10% faster charging) |
head_bonus |
double | Percentage increase to both power multiplier and power boost (0.15 = 15% faster and 15% more max power) |
chalice_bonus |
double | Percentage increase to power boost only (0.2 = 20% more max power) |
range_multiplier |
double | Multiplies altar's detection range (2.0 = double range) |
has_pentacle |
boolean | If true, doubles the final power multiplier |
has_infinity_egg |
boolean | If true, multiplies power multiplier by 10 and power boost by 2 |
state_conditions is a list of { "property": "<blockstate property name>", "value": "<expected value>" } pairs. Every property listed has to match the block's current state for the augment to apply, for example requiring a candle block to be lit=true.
