Type	Generated Structure
Location	Roofed Forest Biome
First Appearance	Update 1.1

A Woodland Mansion is a generated structure added in Update 1.1.

Generation[]

Woodland Mansions generate only in Roofed Forests. They are typically located very far from the spawn point; even the nearest ones can be found from some ten thousand blocks away from the player’s position.

Structure[]

Exterior[]

The exact exterior structure of a Woodland Mansion varies; however, they are always generated with 2-3 floors and a cobblestone foundation beneath it. It is very rare to stumble upon a Mansion with only 2 floors.

Interior[]

The interior of the Woodland Mansion generates randomly and may vary in structure from each mansion to the next. Generally the interior consists of a large foyer and many generated rooms consisting of various blocks and items, even chests containing valuable loot. Evokers and Vindicators may spawn in certain rooms; up to 1 Evoker may generate in 1 room at a time, and up to 3 in the case of Vindicators.

Hidden Rooms[]

Most of the rooms in a Woodland Mansion have visible entrances. However, there are some exceptions: one room has a sealed entrance whereas some others have none at all. The room with a sealed entrance contains an artificially-constructed tree on a dirt platform, with a chest positioned in front of it. This chest always only contains an iron axe with Efficiency I.

Rooms with no entrances are also known as secret rooms, and there are currently eight known types to be found in a Mansion. In general, secret rooms are always found on the second and/or third floor of the mansion, and are commonly found at the sides and edges of these floors, but rarely in the center. A trick to look for these secret rooms is to look into the windows of the Mansion from its exterior, and relatively often the player can discover at least 1 room in this way. Normally there are 1-2 secret rooms in a Mansion; sometimes even 3 can be found.

Trivia[]

A Woodland Mansion is the only place where Evokers and Vindicators spawn naturally. Once killed, the Evokers and Vindicators won't spawn again.
The Totem of Undying can only be found in Woodland Mansions, since only Evokers drop them.
Some rooms are hidden and require mining through walls.
Before Update 1.2, Banners would not spawn in Woodland Mansions and the floors were made of Birch Planks instead of Oak.
Before Update 1.8, there was a glitch where Woodlands Mansions would occasionally spawn in Plains Biomes.
