FAQ

This wiki is **NOT** a place for scattered mod suggestions, bug reports, or questions. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the mod, please visit our Discord. **Be sure to read the FAQ first!**

### **Updated FAQ:**

**Q: Is there an in-game index?**

A: Yes! Craft a Book of Shadows to start your journey into witchcraft. Simply combine a normal book with a Mandrake Root to begin!

**Q: My altar power is way too low!**

A: Plant (Bewitchment or Vanilla) trees around your altar, and add (vanilla) flowers on the ground around it. This should increase the maximum ME held by the altar. Crops also increase the amount of ME around!

**Q: What is the radius of the altar?**

A: 16 blocks radius in a square for collection, 24 radius for distribution. This means a 33 x 33 x 33 cube centered on the Altar for collection, or 50 x 50 x 50 cube for distributing.

**Q: My Witches' Cauldron isn't working!**

A: Are you sure there's heat below the cauldron, water in the cauldron, and enough ME in your altar? Double check if anything's missing. (Although the brew would likely just turn brown if the ME is the issue...) *If everything is as it should be, but it still does not work, please report the issue on Github.*

**Q: Can you become a Vampire/Werewolf?**

A: Yes, but it's complicated. To become a Vampire, you will need to be under a curse of Susceptibility, under the protection of a Death Protection Poppet, and die to a Vampire (but be saved by the Poppet). This process is identical for becoming a Werewolf, just with a Werewolf instead.

**Q: Update: I am regretting becoming a Vampire**

A: Yeah me too buddy, not a question. You can cure Vampirism by summoning Lilith and giving her Garlic by right-clicking on her while holding one.. Make sure to wear Besmirched armor and be prepared for a fight, she doesn't take kindly to the living, even the re-living. You can also Pledge to her to further your abilities instead, but this will not solve the main issue of Burning In The Sun.

**Q: Update: I am regretting becoming a Werewolf**

A: Tough luck buddy, you're gonna need to deep dive into summoning Herne to get rid of it. As with Lilith and Vampires, wear Besmirched armor, and be prepared for a fight- though Herne's a lot chiller than Lilith. Give him some Aconite to be cured, or Pledge to him to control your transformations.

**Q: What about Lichdom?**
A: That's Add-On content! Specifically Besmirchment. This wiki focuses on the main mod- becoming one is not known to this editor, but if you have Weakness and eat a Golden Apple, you should return to normal. Alternatively, destroy the phylactery... if you have the patience to do so.

**Q: Where do you get Dragon's Blood, and how does it work?**

A: Dragon's Blood is received instead of Bark when stripping a Dragon's Blood Tree with an Athame. It's used in various brews, both potions and oils. You can find Dragon's Blood Saplings in Nether Fortress chests. The resin drips out slowly rather than appearing immediately.

**Q: I can't get someone's Taglock!**

A: Sneak up behind them instead of clicking on their face. Try shift-clicking their bed- don't just rightclick, as that will register *you* as the owner of the bed!

**Q: How do I get Garlic/Mandrake Roots/Belladonna/Aconite?**

A: Same as vanilla wheat seeds, just break grass until you get some seeds. Garlic can be used directly, the other crops need to be planted first.

**Q: How do I tame/breed Owls/Ravens/Snakes/Toads? And what are the differences in familiar bonuses?**

A:

Owl: Tamed with Raw Rabbit or Raw Chicken, bred with Raw Rabbit. Buffs: No ME use on brooms and no fall damage

Raven: Tamed with Gold Nugget or Silver Nugget, bred with any seeds. Buffs: doubles the duration of curses and sometimes reflect the ones cast upon you.

Toad: Tamed with Spider Eye, bred with Fermented Spider Eye. Buffs: It will boost positive status effects you receive and killing arthropods (Spider, Cave Spider, Silverfish, Endermite, Bee) heals the witch by 25%.

Snake: Tamed with Raw Rabbit, bred with Raw Chicken. Buffs: Poison fills your personal ME and does not hurt and Sigils are much more durable.

**Q: How many Familiars can I have at once?**
A: Just the one! Choose wisely (or get them killed).

**Q: How can I take a taglock of my pets?**

A: Hold the taglock and punch the animal from the back directly. This will not hurt it and assuming you hit it in the right spot, you will get its taglock. A right click while sneaking works too.

**Q: Brooms are still buggy!**

A: Yeah. Happens. Vehicles are hard to program. Try relogging if you're stuck on a broom. Otherwise I can't give you any help, I'm just a guy rewriting the wiki because it was outdated as hell. Note that Elder Brooms automatically return you to the place you mounted them at.

**Q: Aren't witches all female?**

A: Nope! Witches can be of any gender, male, female, both, neither... Wizards, warlocks and sorcerers are other types of magic users, and similarly not gender locked :)

**Q: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.ReflectionHelper.findField(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/reflect/Field;**

**at com.bewitchment.common.potion.PotionRubedo.<clinit>(PotionRubedo.java:28)**

A: Stop right there. Update your modloader and any mods you have using mixin. Update to the latest versions. If you still have errors, report it to the mod page on Github or the Discord, not here.

**Q: What dependancies does Bewitchment have?**

A: A lot. You'll need Trinkets, Patchouli, Cloth Config, Pehkui, Somnus, as well as Impersonate (and Fabric API). (Note that this is taken from the 1.16.x/1.17.x FAQ and may be outdated)

**Q: "file bewitchment yadda yadda is a fabric mod and cannot be loaded"**

A: *You're loading a fabric mod with the wrong launcher.* This mod will NOT work with Forge, you'll have to use Fabric Loader. Only the Legacy version is a Forge mod.
