How to Find & Raid a Woodland Mansion in Minecraft 1.20

Woodland mansions have been upgraded in minecraft 1.19 becoming a great place to get tons of valets and still featuring lots of loot so in this video i’ll show you how to find and rate them now woodland mansions were added in minecraft 1.11 and were extremely rare

But they were the only source of the new totems of undying making them definitely a structure that most players would try and raid so that they could have a second life at some points 1.14’s raids gave you an easy and renewable source to totems of undying the only main loot

Item in the woodland mansion making them be a structure that was very rare and hard to get and also not with much of a point to exploring however in minecraft 1.18 woodland mansions were made over 10 times more common and as well as that they were made an easier structure to

Raid because of the light level change that mobs would spawn at most of the woodland mansion was then already spawn proofed by the torches in it and now in 1.19 their value has been increased a lot by making them the best source of alleys in the entire game there is no

Better time to rate a woodland mansion than right now and i’ll show you how to do it so the first step is of course finding a woodland mansion now minecraft does provide you a method of doing this if you buy a woodland explorer map from a cartographer that has been upgraded

Quite a bit then with this map if you look at it it will lead you to the woodland mansion so basically the top of the map aligns with north so if we’re facing north and we go towards that direction north is also when your z-axis is going down so

Getting lower and so if we travel north here on the map we can eventually go to that woodland mansion and more or less the top right left and bottom of the map will coordinate to the north south east and west and you’ll know you’re getting close when the map starts to fill in

Just like it is now and the closer you get to it the more we’ll be filled and around where the mansion is and now that we’re on the map there we can actually see right in front of us there is the woodland mansion that this map has been

Bringing us towards so that’s one method of finding woodland mansions which definitely works but if you don’t want to bother with cartographer villagers or you want to see multiple woodland mansions locations what you can do is you can use chunk base and put your seed

In on there and then go to the woodland mansion finder or to the general seed finder put in your seed and then you can find a woodland mansion through that as well and of course that works for bedrock and java edition but the other thing too is that because woodland

Mansions are so much more common in 1.19 again being over 10 times more common it is pretty easy just to explore around and find one of these at least much easier than it used to be and so if you find a large dark forest on one of your

Worlds with all the dark oak trees in it it is very likely that you could find a woodland mansion inside of it if it’s big enough and now that we’ve found this woodland mansion here is some more info on how it generates what’s inside of it

And also the treasure that you can get so this structure always generates in with three floors there is the base floor which has no windows and then there is the floor above it which is about the same size and there are windows on it and on the third floor is

Smaller than the second floor there are windows on it but you can kind of see here it’s always quite a bit smaller than the second floor what’s also interesting is that the third floor can actually be incredibly small in fact basically only one room in it an example

Of that is right here and it is interesting to see how small that is and also how there’s basically just a corridor and like one room and i’ve even seen one so there’s literally a teeny little square in the corner but generally you do get one that’s very large like this

And as you go up the woodland mansion it gets more difficult with each floor so the first floor is the least difficult then the second floor is more difficult and the third floor is for sure the most difficult just because more dangerous illagers will generate in the further up

You go also beneath the woodland mansion is a massive cobblestone base that it goes on top of this will extend all the way down until it hits solid blocks like right here but it will go through water and these can be very large for instance in this case here this is solid goes

Through the entire thing here now woodland mansions are not like a desert temple let’s say or a jungle temple where every single one will generate the exact same way in fact every woodland mansion is unique and there are over 50 different rooms that can generate in the woodland mansion and so every single

Woodland mansion also has different amounts of resources and a slightly different level of difficulty and certainly a different layout however the general rule does apply that more dangerous floors and more interesting floors are there the higher you get up with things like the prison floors that contain the alleys generally being on

The first floor and also not all rooms are very easily visible there’s oftentimes secret rooms in a woodland mansion that you can find between walls but i will go more into finding those secret rooms later and there are some other interesting secrets about the woodland mansions for instance the fact

Of the vindicators that sometimes generate in the halls here as well as the evokers like this one that can generate in different rooms we’ll very rarely in java edition have one of those pillager war banners on top of them the exact same ones they have when they’re

On a raid and so if you’re ever raiding a woodland mansion and find one of those it’s sort of a unique easter egg that’s hinting to the fact that raids definitely come from woodland mansions so what is the treasure that you can find at a woodland mansion there’s never

Any treasure in chess that generate out in the open all the treasure is in secret chests so for instance in the storage rooms here every single chest is always empty you can look through them if you want but in every single scenario there will never be any treasure in any

Of the chests in the storage rooms that can generate in now certain structures will sometimes generate with a chest that’ll have a tool or two in it or maybe some saplings but for actual treasure it’s always concealed in some way for instance in this room here if we

Go behind this cobblestone there’s sort of like a secret chest here this one has a golden apple more or less it has the same loot as let’s say a dungeon chest would so nothing crazy but there is the chance for an enchanted golden apple and some other treasures that you wouldn’t

Necessarily find in a dungeon and there are all kinds of rooms that have secret chests in them but overall there’s no chest that would let’s say be like hidden between two blocks or anything they’re always somewhat easy to get to for instance here is an example of a

Chest that just has saplings in it with there being no actual loot here that’ll ever generate now the other type of glute here is loot from the illagers so the vindicators will sometimes drop emeralds and the evokers which are sort of the whole point of the woodland

Mansion initially will drop the totem of undying every time they’re killed and of course this item grants you the ability to live if you’re killed once it’ll basically revive you if you get very hurt so here’s an example of us dropping from a distance that’s deadly when we

Get the ground here the total of undying will activate making us not die and of course with hardcore this is an incredibly useful thing to have that definitely saves a lot of lives there now another source of loot here in a sense is the la’s that spawn in the

Dungeons here every single dungeon in these dungeon rooms can spawn in 1-3 la so for instance this room has two that room had one this room here looks like it has two and this room here might have two or three or one this one has three it looks

Like and so in one of these rooms you could get anything from four to twelve la’s definitely making it a very good source of that mob and i have a video all about delays if you want to know more about them i have an icard on the

Screen right now if you click on that it will send you to a video where you can learn more about this new blue mob and the final source of treasure here which certainly does not generate in every mansion is that sometimes in the generation here you can have diamond

Blocks that spawn in so there’s two ways this can happen either it can generate with an obsidian tree so there’ll be an obsidian tree with a diamond block inside of it or there’ll be a large cage with lava inside of it and inside of that lava will be a diamond block and of

Course if you find these that’s a pretty cool treasure to have especially since it came from the woodland mansion and the woodland mansion is filled with really fun things like for instance this cat pixel art right here and also things like the illager pixel arts so now that

You know all the information you’ll need about woodland mansions what do you need to bring to raid them well what you want is the best armor you can find as well as a sword an axe and a pickaxe if you can get it you also want to bring a bed

Some chests a bow and arrow some torches a shield the best food source you can get some planks as well as a water bucket and i will show you what to use these for as we rate it so here’s how you rate it the first thing you want to

Do is get rid of any pillagers near the entrance if you lure them into water they’re a lot less dangerous that way and you want to start by putting a couple torches behind the main stairway here and right behind this make yourself a small temporary base with some chests

And also a bed and make sure to set your spawn point here unless of course you’re in hardcore and this will make it so that if you die you can come back here now the first thing you want to do as you go through here is to spawn proof

Them the good news is is that unless the light level is zero you’re not going to get any mobs in here however what is also important to note is that in the hallways here it actually will never generate in with an area that is at light level zero so even the corner

There is not a light level zero but it is pretty low also you do find a lot of the vindicators in here and they are incredibly dangerous in some sense more dangerous than the evokers themselves as their axe attack is so deadly i’d also suggest temporarily going up the stairs

Here and putting a couple torches to make sure it’s all lit up then to go either right or left and deal with every single room as you find it either putting a torch in it or getting the loot from it so for instance over here we’ll go into this room that has the

Giant pillager take a look around it put down some torches so we don’t have any mobs that spawn in here later and once that’s done we’ll just leave the room and continue on our way down the hall here we come to a second room we’ll put

In more torches just to make sure it’s spawn proofed if you run into some creepers or some other mobs here’s sort of where the water bucket comes in handy as of course explosions in water will not destroy any blocks i probably should have used my shield there with a shield

And a water bucket you can more or less destroy creepers without damaging the mansion and also without getting hurt just of course be aware about the corpus getting destroyed by that now we just found a prison room here that does not contain alleys because it’s the wrong

Type for them but if you do find a prison room with the lays in it you do not want to grab them at this stage and we’ll light up the chest room here just again being aware there’s no treasure that’s ever in here it’s just a bunch of

Chests with nothing in them also because the vindicator can disable your axe if you hold it up something you can always try is to try and defeat it with an axe yourself as although the attack speed isn’t as high it is a weapon that can inflict a lot of high damage to your

Opponent and now that we’ve spawn proofed both sides of the bottom floor of this mansion we’ll now go up to the second layer and start with that but be aware there are a lot of these vindicators that can come right away as the second floor is much more dangerous than the first floor

Something i would definitely suggest doing is getting out your bow and using those to kill the vindicators since they’re only really dangerous at a close range because of their incredibly deadly axe attack but of course at close range you would probably want to use a axe on

Them and will kill that vindicator as well something good to note as well is that although a lot of rooms on the second floor here may look kind of bright you still want to put torches in them as there’s a lot of windows here if it’s daytime while you’re raiding this

Which it probably would be it’ll look like it’s spawn proof when it actually isn’t as when it’s night it would get very dark there sometimes there’s actually library rooms or also sort of a form of treasure that can generate here as there’s an absolutely massive amount of books for instance here there’s three

Bookcases which are double thick providing with an amazing source of bookshelves also none of the wool statues contain any blocks inside of them other than the wool except for one which is a large pillager statue like the ones we saw on the first floor there

At the center of this statue only if we go to the middle of it there’ll be something special which is the fact that at the very center of this there will be a single lapis block sort of like where the pillager’s brain would be so that is

Something good to look out for is this lapis block inside the pillager but none of the other wolf statues have anything like that that’s also sort of a little small treasure you can find here now this is the boxing ring room and this one does have a secret chest in it so

Basically on the second floor of the boxing ring structure here where they’re sort of like the observation deck down there it’s actually kind of funny because in this case we had some mobs that are actually fighting each other in there which doesn’t usually happen but because they were shooting at me that

Did so that’s kind of cool but anyway up here is a chest and this will have loot that is very similar to loot that you would find in a dungeon chest with you know some different mob drops here we have some chain armor as well as a no

Durability gone diamond hoe about got some bread and some wheat just some little odds and ends here this is very rare but there are no evokers on any place of this second floor usually you’ll find several rooms with them here and i would see generally the average woodland mansion has anywhere from three

To six totems of undying at it which of course would mean three to six of the evokers basically what you’ll find on the second floor is that entrance to a small staircase going to the third floor something to be aware of is that there is this dark area behind the staircase

Which is very dangerous and often filled up with a large amount of hostile mobs for instance here there’s a lot in fact for whatever reason it looks like a vindicator made their way into here making this a real death trap they certainly do not spawn in here it must

Have wandered there naturally as of course they do not spawn in there the trick with these though if you find them is to run up them as fast as you can and to kill them at close range not getting far away and just to do that as fast as you can

And once they summon in a lot of their vexes which are these small sort of wispy-like creatures they will run at you at a sword and try and kill you then that can be quite deadly as their attack is pretty strong a shield though is a great defense against these guys as it

Does block their attacks quite well although of course you can be slain by a vex like i just was and that is exactly why we have our bed here also once a vex has been summoned then it will die rather quickly so it’ll actually start to die naturally as that one did just

There so it’s often good not to try and attack them unless there’s a large number of them now in this woodland mansion there appears to be an extremely small third floor you can see there’s just one room over here and one room there and also on this room right here which has this

Little closet here you think there would maybe be a treasure behind here or in here but there is a treasure is up here looks like there should be a ladder there but there isn’t and so if you grab some building blocks like the ones that

I said you should bring then you can go up like this and grab the loot chest that is next to the bed which has the same type of loot as we found in other chests also something i would suggest is not really grabbing any of the loot out

Of the chests until you fully spawn proof the entire thing as when you die like i did earlier your items wouldn’t go as many places and there’d be less of a chance of potentially losing them now once you have fully spawn proof the entire mansion we go to the next stage

Of raiding it which is basically getting all the ludo to the chest that you found but did not grab out of them and also rescuing the allays though if you find an la prison and let them out they’ll basically start to explore around the mansion or they may exit out the front

Door all you have to do to grab them and let them escape successfully with you is to simply right click on each alley with a block then they will follow you it doesn’t really matter what the blocks are as they don’t really care about the player unless you’ve given them an item

Also once you’ve grabbed the large amount of loot from the woodland mansion i would suggest going back down to the first floor and putting it in some of your chests here so your inventory will be more full and you don’t have to worry about losing as

Many things if you do end up dying later on so once we’ve grabbed the la’s got all the loot into our chest there’s only one step left which is to look for secret rooms and there’s many ways of doing this the first one you can do is

To simply go outside the mansion a little bit and sort of walk around it looking inside of each window now the reason you would do this is because often times there’ll be a secret room which does have a window in it but there is not an easy way to see that room from

Inside the mansion or really away at all hovering through the windows here you can sort of see if there’s an area you have not lit up yet and also on the second floor here is a great place to find a hidden room and right here there’s actually hidden rooms so these

Windows have some blocks on them and if we break the windows here or just break the planks around them you can see this is sort of boarded up it’s just an empty room however if you find a room like this definitely explore further because this will often have a loot chest in it

In fact always so if we basically break the roof on this exact structure there will be loot in there but anyway in this little attic there’s some really good treasure of the normal woodland mansion type chest and you can even find enchanted golden apples in here like i

Just found there i actually did not plant that there that’s amazing so yeah you can definitely find some really good loot here and of course enchanted golden apples are an amazing item to get a very good source of them is also here at the woodland mansion and so definitely

Looking for secret rooms is a good idea another good trick to look for secret rooms is to basically go through the parts of the woodland mansion that you know of and occasionally break a block here or there saying is there an area i have not gone in yet and another thing

You can find here which is incredibly good is sometimes you’ll find a hidden spider spawner which can make it one of the highest up spider responders you can find even making this an amazing place to turn into your base and that’s sort of the final part of this which is once

You fully spawn proofed it fully gotten all the treasure out of it and put it your little micro base under the stairs here you can now do with this whatever you want some players will burn it down although i would not suggest that as it’s such an amazing and large structure

If this is anywhere near your base or the spawn point of the world this could be a great thing to turn into a base or maybe renovate it into a base or even just have it as a size sort of outpost on your way to a certain area i would

Definitely suggest converting this into something as it’s just such a massive structure certainly the largest single building structure in the game and also because it’s fully spawn proofed it would be also safe from that point on so that’s how you rate a woodland mansion in 1.19 hope you enjoy and good luck not

Getting killed by the vindicators you
