Quick answer
- Woodland mansions are in dark forests and are usually very far away.
- Buy a woodland explorer map from a cartographer villager to find one.
- Kill evokers inside for a Totem of undying.
Mansions are huge dark oak buildings full of illagers. They're rare, but they're one of the best places for totems.

Finding one
- Buy a woodland mansion map from a cartographer villager.
- Or find one in the secret chest of an abandoned camp.
The map might not point to the closest mansion, and it could be thousands of blocks away. Pack for a long trip.
What's inside
- Vindicators hit hard with axes. Keep a shield up.
- Evokers summon fangs and vexes. Kill them fast, they drop totems.
- Allays are trapped in jail cells. Rescue them.
It's dark in thereNormal monsters spawn inside too. Light up rooms as you clear them.
Secret rooms
Mansions have hidden rooms on any floor. One kind hides a Block of diamond behind obsidian.
Spot them from outsideLook for gaps between rooms, blocked-off windows and odd roof shapes. Those often hide a secret room.
Why go
