Where to find the Woodland Mansion in Minecraft

When you’re out looking for the Woodland Mansion, you should bear in mind the conditions of how it generates in your world. The Woodland Mansion can only be found in the Dark Forest biome and will never generate closer than a thousand blocks from your spawn point. Unless you stumble onto one by accident, your best bet to find one is to get ‘woodland explorer maps’ from cartographer villagers.

These maps will point you in a general direction to the nearest Woodland Mansion but will not pinpoint its location for you. It’s also useful to remember that for a Woodland Mansion to generate in a Dark Forest biome; it requires a minimum of 32 blocks of Dark Forest on all sides from its edges. If you’re playing with a cheat console on, then the command to find the nearest mansion is: /locate structure mansion.

What is in the Woodland Mansion in Minecraft

Woodland Mansions are one of the few places in the game where a player can acquire the Totem of Undying. Otherwise, you’d have to look into raiding to get the item. However, the mansion is also inhabited by Evokers and Vindicators, and passive Allays. It counts as low-light, which means that other monsters can spawn in the mansion, too, so you have to be on your guard until you renovate. The mansion itself is a sprawling structure with several special rooms for you to explore.
