So after being on this world for some time, I've explored thousands of blocks away from my main area and have still yet to come across a witch hut or a swamp biome for that matter. I've come across quite a few green swamplands biomes, as well as most other biomes in the game. I'm not sure if the extra biomes mod removed normal swamps and replaced them with green swamplands, but even then I've yet to see a witch hut. All I'm really looking for is whether witch huts wills till spawn, the biome they spawn in now, and anything that might help me find one.
I got 99 problems but a witch ain't one

Do you have Mystcraft? It might be worthwhile to try to create an age that's mostly/entirely swampland to make hunting for a hut easier. (Weirdly, I once encountered a witch on the surface of a Mystcraft age which contained no swamp biomes at all - no idea where he came from!)
In my own world, I actually disabled almost all extra biomes because they made the normal biomes so much rarer. If I want to get at the ones I've disabled, I can do it via Mystcraft. If you've already explored thousands of blocks away from your main area, I guess it's a bit late to change your world generation settings, though...

Too Much Free Time
I've seen a witch hut before, they sometimes spawn in vanilla swamps (about as often as desert temples or jungle ruins).
Generally EBXL makes vanilla swamps occur a lot less, and not every swamp has a hut.

I don't have Mystcraft, and I could have sworn I had said somewhere that I was using the Mindcrack pack. No idea what happened to that statement lol.
All I want is a quick and dirty witch farm so I can get a soul shard for witches and get free, unlimited redstone/glowstone. This seems to be too much to ask for with all these biomes though, I might just start making random portals in the nether in the hopes of finding one at this point
Hmmm. You know, there are a few other ways to get redstone and glowstone.
Redstone can be gotten by IC2's crops system, although that might take some time.
Glowstone can be gotten using Sengir's Forestry bees - there are a few good hints on both wikis, but that inevitably means setting up shop in the Nether, at least for a while.
I think there's also an Extra Bees bee for redstone, which is another difficulty level entirely.
You know, I do wonder whether it would be possible to deliberately make a Marshy bee with no humidity tolerance, then stick in in a Habitat Locator. Would that work?

See, I was looking for something powerless and not quite as time consuming as bees. Witches seemed perfect, getting a soul shard for them wouldn't be difficult so long as I find a hut; then it would be as simple as dropping them to their death and picking up their items with a transposer or something similar. So did extrabiomes add in the witch huts to their other kinds of swampy biomes?
