The Sun Wheel, also known as the Wheel of the Year, is a significant pagan symbol rooted in ancient traditions and beliefs. It represents the cyclical nature of the seasons and the continuous movement of time. In pagan cultures, the Sun Wheel holds great importance as it symbolizes the power and life-giving energy of the sun. This symbol has been used by various pagan traditions, such as Wicca and Druidry, to honor and celebrate the changing seasons and their associated festivals. The Sun Wheel is typically depicted as a circle divided into eight segments, each representing a specific time of the year. These segments correspond to the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days that mark the beginning of each season.
I have found a video that may explain the issue in further depth, which is linked here:

Removing those increases the chances of an attempt landing in your witch farm BUT if you left the intervening ground beneath the farm then the game can still choose those valid blocks to make a spawn attempt on--and thus waste a witch spawn because it ll likely fail too bright, not enough space to fit the mob, covered in liquid, etc. Removing those increases the chances of an attempt landing in your witch farm BUT if you left the intervening ground beneath the farm then the game can still choose those valid blocks to make a spawn attempt on--and thus waste a witch spawn because it ll likely fail too bright, not enough space to fit the mob, covered in liquid, etc.
These segments correspond to the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days that mark the beginning of each season. At the Winter Solstice, the Sun Wheel reaches its lowest point, representing the rebirth of the sun and the return of longer days. This is a time of celebration and hope as pagans eagerly await the coming of spring.
Minecraft 1 19 witch mob farm
When attempting to create a witch farm in a survival world, I found that witches do not reliably spawn in a witch hut. This doesn't make sense to me, as I've watched several tutorial videos that all explain the exact method of getting witches to spawn consistently. I first noticed this issue when attempting to find the spawn block of the witch (as the video said to do, by using glass panes). After many attempts and spending the entire in-game night trying to walk away and walk back to get a witch to spawn, it never worked once. I made sure to kill the witch that was (supposedly) tied to the hut, so it would spawn more.
As far as recreating the bug goes, I am unsure of the exact cause of this bug. However, here are some things I have found that may be related:
- Height of the witch hut
- Age/size of the world
- Mob count
- Witch spawning mechanics not being consistent, intentionally or unintentionally

- Within the videos I watched, a witch spawned within seconds for them, and this spawning was quite consistent.
- All of the tutorial videos were recorded in, and meant for bedrock edition, and they were recent.
- I have looked at past bug reports that may be related to this, however they are marked as resolved. I have noticed people saying that the issue was not resolved though.
- My world was created in a 1.19 version.
- The hut is located at roughly x 300, z -4000.
- My world seed is 1397550077802556075.
- I have never had a single mob farm work at 100% of the intended rate in bedrock, and most of the time for me they might not work at all (again, the tutorial videos I watch are intended for bedrock edition). I have been playing Minecraft for many years though, and it could be down to farm design or mob spawning mechanic issues.
Also, this appears to be the same code in 1.15 as in 1.6.4, even as badly obfuscated the 1.15 code is (as mentioned before, 1.6.4 used the "lc" value while since 1.8 it has been the highest block in a column, using the same heightmap as lighting (hence transparent blocks not counting) until 1.14):
The Spring Equinox marks the turning point where day and night are of equal length, symbolizing balance and renewed growth. It signifies the awakening of nature and the fertility of the land. The Summer Solstice represents the peak of the sun's power and the longest day of the year. It is a time of abundance and joy as pagans celebrate the bountiful harvest and the vitality of the earth. The Autumn Equinox once again brings balance as day and night become equal in length, but it also marks the beginning of the descent into darkness. It is a time of reflection and gratitude for the harvest and an acknowledgement of the impending winter. The cross-quarter days, which fall between the solstices and equinoxes, are also recognized on the Sun Wheel. These include the festivals of Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain, each associated with different aspects of the natural world and various deities. By following the Sun Wheel, pagans connect with the rhythms of nature and the cycles of life. It is a reminder of the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world, guiding them in their spiritual practices and honoring the sacredness of the earth. The Sun Wheel serves as a reminder to live in harmony with the seasons and to honor the cycles of life and death..
