📋 About This Mod

Witch Swamp always was an empty place with not so much things to do except fishing and visiting Witch's Hut to turn babies into  pigeons... With this mod I tried my best to change it!

This mod is aimed to add more endgame content, quests and unlocks, giving player more stuff to play with after they finished Community Centre bundles.

This mod adds:

  • []New NPC - Goblin

    []Dozens of quests and events (including custom quests for Alecto The Witch mod)

    []4 new fish and 3 Crabpot fish

    []4 new crops and forage

    []6 new cooking and crafting recipes

    []3 new recolors for Witch Swamp map

    Meet the Goblin! Yes, it's that Henchman guy you give void mayo to and never see him again.

    His name is Zic and now he fully enjoys his live in Witch Swamp lands...

    More about how to unlock him and his gift taster here!

    This mod adds over 20 new conditional quests and events - befriend Goblin to learn his story and get special items, quests and recipes!
