**Blighted shacks** (also known as **crone shacks**) are generated structures that contains a [crystal ball](../blocks/crystal-ball), that are able to summon a [crone](../mini-bosses/crone).

## Generation

Blighted shacks generate rarely in [swamp](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Swamp) and [taiga](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Taiga) biomes.

## Structure

Blighted shacks consists of a building made of [dark oak](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Dark_oak) and rotten wood, with a circle of [candles](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Candle), that has a [cauldron](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cauldron) in the middle of it, right in front of the structure.

Inside the building contains barrels, a chest, bookshelves, a brewing stand, a loom, a flower pot with a rotten sapling planted in it, another with a red mushroom, two smokers, a furnace, a campfire, and an active crystal ball.

The floor has moss carpets, a small circle of candles, and mushrooms. The walls have some vines and the ceiling has a couple of azalea leaves hanging from a platform.

Underneath a moss carpet two blocks from the fireplace, is a ladder that leads to the shack's basement. The basement contains several skeleton skulls, cobwebs, an azalea with a soul lantern placed on top, two chests, obsidian and crying obsidian, and what looks to be a broken and decrepit cage.

## Mobs

[Witches](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Witch) can spawn within the area of the shack.&#x20;

## Trivia

* Blighted shacks are the only place where rotten saplings spawn naturally.
* Before its current iteration, the shack was to be made out of packed mud and mud bricks as it was inspired by the pyromancer's structure from [Iron's Spells and Spellbook](https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/irons-spells-n-spellbooks). It was changed as the mod author feels like they're "copying Iron's homework so to speak."
  * The inspiration comes from a discord post where a user, Mich705, posted a picture of a crone in a modified pyromancer structure.
  * The rotten wood set was made specifically for the shack.
