One of the main reasons behind the success and popularity of Minecraft is its randomized world generation. Almost everything in a Minecraft world is generated randomly, including biomes, structures, ores, and so on.
Even though the world generation is randomized, there are ways to find certain biomes and structures.

What are woodland mansions in Minecraft?
Woodland mansions are the luxurious home of illagers, the evil villagers. Unsurprisingly, players can find lots of illagers in the woodland mansion as well as some regular monsters spawning in the dark nooks and corners.
Woodland mansion was added to Minecraft as part of the 1.11 Exploration Update released in 2016. It has been in the game ever since and has barely received any changes.
Woodland mansions also have great loot items like diamonds, enchanted gold apples, books, music discs, name tags, and more.
However, due to its rarity, finding a woodland mansion becomes arduous. Luckily, there is an easy way to locate a woodland mansion.
Are woodland mansions still in Minecraft?
Yes, woodland mansions are still in Minecraft. These giant mansions can generate over 15,000 blocks away from the spawn point.
Therefore, players rarely get to see a naturally generated woodland mansion in Minecraft. In rare seeds, woodland mansions can be found near the spawn point, but the number of such seeds is low.
Rather than relying on their luck, players can use a better and more successful method to find dragons.
Given their rarity, it is no surprise that some players began to question the existence of woodland mansions. It is probably hard for players to imagine a massive structure just waiting to be found in a dark oak forest.
How to find a woodland mansion in Minecraft
The best way to find a woodland mansion is through an explorer map. In Minecraft, players can obtain maps with certain areas marked already. Players can use this map to discover structures and buried treasure chests.
Fortunately, Minecraft features an explorer map for woodland mansions as well. Follow these steps to obtain a woodland explorer map and use it to find a woodland mansion:
1 Get a cartographer
To obtain a woodland mansion explorer map, players will need a cartographer. Players can turn an unemployed villager into a cartographer by placing a cartography table next to it.
2. Level up the cartographer
At first, any villager with a new profession will only have two trades. Players can unlock new trades by leveling up the villager. Cartographer unlocks woodland explorer map after reaching Journeyman level.
3. Buy a woodland explorer map
After the cartographer has become a Journeyman, players can purchase a woodland explorer map in exchange for 14 emeralds and a compass.
That’s it! With the purchased woodland explorer map, players can travel to the nearest woodland mansion. Players can see their position relative to the woodland mansion on the map. Be ready to travel thousands of blocks as woodland mansions usually generate at a ridiculously far distance from spawn.
