Raiding TWO Woodland Mansions! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.55]

[@riuphane]

Finding a woodland mansion next to (almost in) an abandoned village has to be the most lore heavy generation I've ever seen or hear of. So freaking cool!!!

[@kevinvillagomez4181]

This wants it bro… it was all burning down…. It wasn’t a proper regular raid

[@deborahsheets2604]

Pix giving us a 10/10 tutorial while getting sprinted at with axe wielding pillagers while the entire mansion goes up in flames is a testament to how good he is at what he does. This man will not let anything stop him😂🙌🏻

[@chrisclark3555]

I actually had a mansion right next to spawn in my current world, sadly same scenario lava source in the wall below and it burned the whole thing down

[@simplyn4732]

Damn dude that’s rough buddy

[@-N0V4-]

Im liking the armour trims. They're a motivation to explore previous structures that for some were no longer worth looting

[@watchanimeandstramkpop8195]

What exactly are armor trims? Because I just recently impulse bought Minecraft on my pc and I haven’t played in YEARS so I’m not familiar with newer things

[@geoffreyastor6971]

@@watchanimeandstramkpop8195pretty much all of the lootable structures (woodland mansions, sea temples, end cities, strongholds, etc.) now can spawn armor trims which allow you to change the look of your armor.

[@DC-jp7zl]

I love the controlled chaos of watching a master of the game rapidly explaining what to look for in the midst of an unintended disaster. Then just for kicks he says, “Let’s try again,” and just keeps rolling. This is why Pix is one of my favorite Minecraft players. His slogan should be “keep rolling, this is great footage!”

[@edbutler3]

The burning woodland mansion was fun to see. I know it's not what you wanted for a tutorial, but as someone who's seen all this before and is just watching for entertainment -- well, that was quite entertaining!

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

This kinda happened in the previous season too which is mildly interesting. Apparantly woodland mansions just have a tendency to spontaneously combust.

[@plainsarahjane1466]

Two wonky mansions. Odd

[@Raskolnikov70]

I'm just amazed he left firetick on, although I understand why he did it for a tutorial series. Nobody leaves firetick on in a normal world anymore, it's too dangerous to your wooden builds.

[@erikjansson2329]

The burning mansion gave a good overview of the interior. Usually in videos mansions feel like complicated mazes. I’m glad the first one burned down 😂

[@OrigamiMarie]

Some things i usually do for my Woodland Mansion raids: * Make sure to switch to my chestplate before going in. * I land on the lower roof and set down my bed and set my spawn there. * I place my ender chest with my emergency kit there next to my bed, so if I die, I can gear back up fast. * I enter by knocking a hole in the top floor wall. It's a lot easier to tackle from the top down, there are fewer branching paths, and I get to the Allays last. * I slim down my inventory so I have space for loot. * I make Saturation Stew from mushrooms and an orchid, and eat it early and often.

[@MTC008]

* Bring an iron golem with you with a lead and let it fight against the vindicators and tank their damages but bring iron ingots with you to heal iron golem after the battle

[@gt-hoverclown3338]

@@MTC008do u know what allays actually do? Everytime I free them they just fly around

[@Amanchoo123]

Woodland mansions are dimly lit. Because of recent changes to mob spawning, dimly lit is good enough to prevent mobs spawning. So mansions may seem less populated then they did in the past

[@Raskolnikov70]

They're a lot easier now. Prior to 1.18 they were a nightmare, especially the lower levels without windows. I would cheese them by walking around the outside punching holes in the wall and placing torches in the back areas of each room, it helped to cut down on the number of mobs while you were dealing with the vindicators and evokers.

[@Van-dq4sw]

I remember the first Minecraft village I ever found, was an abandoned one on a public server. Gave me quite the wrong indication of what villages were like, and how frequent abandoned ones were. Seeing one next to a mansion like this is fascinating.

[@awkwardt]

Big Curse of Stradh vibes from that abandoned village Mansion combo!!!

[@mrhbkpcnbob5191]

With Halloween just around the corner, seeing the abandoned village and the woodland mansion next to each other. Covered in pumpkins, is getting me excited for the party season.

[@Undercover_Pineapple]

Whilst flying around trying to find a desert in my world, I inadvertently found a woodland mansion, several sniffer eggs, a mushroom islands biome and many other rarities, all in my search for a camel! I was very shocked to find a woodland mansion in the wild before finding a desert!

[@janfields4816]

Always love watching a Woodland Mansion and this double header had some great surprises. Burn, baby, burn.

[@trevinbeattie4888]

I’d never even _heard_ of abandoned villages before now. I love learning new things!

[@arasdeeps1852]

We found a burning mansion on my brother's server. Using his admin permissions to reset the mansion, we practiced our firefighting skills to try and save it. Loads of fun ensued, but the most we were ever able to save was about half of it. That was with multiple players working together and a lake next to the mansion. It had generated with a lava lake underneath it. Eventually, the mansion reset without the lava pool under it, and we just raided it normally.😄

[@finnleyflint]

this was so cool episode ! The mansion burning and then the village near the other, so much lore and story that can come from there. I really liked it.

[@mintycheddar3854]

Woodland Mansions are so large they are easily identifiable on maps. If you enjoy mapping the region around your base and there's a Dark Forest nearby, be sure to include the forest in your mapping. You might be surprised by the presence of a Woodland Mansion, especially early game. The trees in a dark forest are so thick that one can easily walk right by a mansion without seeing it, but a map will reveal it right away. Next, it may be easier to tackle a Woodland Mansion from the top down by breaking a window to gain entry. Wall blocks and fences can be used to block rooms and corridors as you work your way through the mansion to avoid being overwhelmed by the hostile denizens.

[@Raskolnikov70]

That's the cheese method, and it's a lot safer but slower than the Leeroy Jenkins method. Also run around the outer wall, punch holes in the wall and place torches inside in the back areas of the rooms. It cuts back on the mob numbers spawning inside.

[@MTC008]

if you want to make the woodland mansion raiding much easier just bring an iron golem with you then bring a lead to take it with you and let it fight against the vindicator so iron golem will tank vindicator's damage and iron golem can easily kill vindicators with just 2 hits and also don't forget to bring iron ingots so you can heal iron golems after the battle because their damage can take toll on iron golems and their health don't replenishes overtime so you need to repair it with iron ingots

[@legendracer4861]

The first survival guide had a similar tutorial to take on a woodland mansion and has like 6 million views, the most on this channel. This one is equally good, and y'all should know that lava can sometimes generate in a specific type of room inside the mansion itself if you get unlucky, I think it also has an anvil inside it but the room is mostly made of cobblestone. I normally tackle these structures top-down and put a nether portal on top, and if you have the patience you can even modify this structure enough to transform it into a base! One more thing to note is that the foundations of woodland mansions are just solid cobblestone that extend down into the caves below too, and you can take them down if you like for using it in other things.

[@seansilv25]

28:59 I can say with experience that’s definitely the case. I once had a world where the *first three* villages I found were abandoned

[@daltonlasnier1299]

Amazing surprise with the mansion on fire - always fun to see the great and terrible things this game can produce with natural generation. Your videos are filled with superb education and comedic commentary that keep me waiting excitedly for the next! Thanks for providing your top-notch content for viewers like me.

[@ozelhassan8576]

I love the Allays, I always liberate them and free them, they are my favourite mob.

If you were to raid a nearby Ancient city after, there are few stacks of carpets lying around

[@Dinki-Di]

Í always love a Woodland Mansion episode, but that had so much more!

[@patmc59]

In my old world I finally found a mansion and set up a nether portal in the hallway. While in the nether, a ghast jumped me and I dodged the fireball, however it went through the portal and started a conflagration. Burned to the ground.

[@Roadhog76]

lol, such bad luck! something similar happened to me in my starter home with nether portal inside it! panic led to disaster 🤣

[@legendracer4861]

How does the fireball ever go through? The portal always gets destroyed when something like this happens, nether portal blocks can't let fireballs(and I think other projectiles also) through to the other dimension.

[@Roadhog76]

That second mansion was action packed. I've never raided one that had that many illagers in it. Maybe I'm just lucky.

[@AceOfFools]

Okay, I usually end up burning my mansions AFTER I'm done raiding them, so good on you for being efficient... :) (Okay, I don't always burn them, but I was feeling spiteful...)

Honestly? Since chests and allay cages don't burn, setting a mansion on fire looks like a pretty good hack for clearing mansions efficiently

[@neetscholar4149]

Burn, Baby, Burn Disco Inferno!!!! I could be wrong, but I thought that if they are leashed, you could just fly back home and the Allays would follow you. And as long as you don't spam rockets too much, the leashes wouldn't break. Kinda like Chickens. Or maybe that's one of those Bedrock things?

[@Pixlriffs]

Maybe it's because most leashed mobs are affected by gravity, but I've rarely encountered a scenario where the leads don't break when you boost with a rocket. The acceleration is difficult to avoid

[@sigmoid_function]

I previously dug into the code of woodland mansion formation. Secret rooms in fact never generate next to a corridor. To discover any secret rooms you have to tear down the walls inside the open rooms, or spot them from the outside of the mansion.

[@leobetosouza]

It's always good to see Pixl on a burning masion.

[@mineralnoodles]

It isnt pixlriffs if the first woodland mansion found isnt set on fire by natural causes 😂 it was hilarious to watch

[@TheRealWormbo]

The chance for a village to be abandoned is 2%. The chance of a woodland mansion to be on fire when you arrive must be something like 90%, if the average Reddit post about them is to be believed. ;-)

[@mineralnoodles]

Makes sense, for a long time I believed abandoned villages where bedrock exclusive since I never found one on java edition

[@markschwegler1100]

Definitely higher chances for the abandoned village on bedrock...more than once I have torn down an entire abandoned village to build my starter base without cutting any trees at all and only mining cobble for tools...so many stone tools!!!!

[@MoloIongo]

I accidentally found one today while walking in the woods. I need to learn a thing or two about it before I go in.

[@sharkdentures3247]

It's funny that you mentioned that early in your video. One of the most memorable times I found a Woodland Mansion was an old (short lived) Bedrock game I had where I discovered (early game) a reasonably close Mansion in a TINY Dark Oak forest! (a "sliver" wedged between two adjacent biomes) As I was exploring by foot & boat. The Dark Oak Biome was SO small I could not hope to hide the Mansion. (Basically, the Mansion took up most of the mini-biome! lol) In my current game, I did the Cartographer/ Nether Hub, thing. Which worked out great! (the Portal appeared in the Entryway foyer below the main stairs. (which I promptly walled off into a little "home base" room for my exploration) Pixlriffs - "Apparently, the Mansion is on fire & the fire is spreading." Me - "Oh no! Too bad you don't have a water bucket to put out the fire & save the Mansion!" Later: Pixlriffs - " . ..and my water bucket. . ." Me - "WTF?!?" LMAO

[@TheRealWormbo]

There's no realistic way you can save a wooden structure this big, if the inhabitants don't cooperate.

Great that you waited until you had wings to go hunting for these Mansions. I did that on foot with a mule in two and it took like two in-real-life (IRL) days. If you build a nether hub back from the Mansion by the abandoned village, you should find a really nice bastion on the way.

[@abj136]

Story: I took my herd of llamas on a journey to find a woodland mansion. Following a map, it turned out to be 14000 blocks from spawn. It was an epic journey. When I arrived, it had a lava fire that completely burned it down. After a bit I noped out, left the area, deleted the chunks and turned off firespread. No way after walking and boating and herding for 14K was I going to let a stupid block of lava ruin my fun.

[@abj136]

Yes, it is hard to keep llamas, but it was a fun challenge. It is a skill you develop. I was playing without shulker boxes or elytra, so llamas were my mobile mass storage.

[@imperfectimp]

Also a useful tip: some chests aren't random, e.g. the one in the allium room always contains the same amount of alliums. Also obligatory Bedrock fact: while you can find an axe with eff 1 in the secret tree room java, you get a piece of leather armor with eff 1 on bedrock from that room.

[@ManosSef]

Another fun fact: that allium room you talked about never generates in Java Edition due to a bug.

I remember one time in 1.19 when I attempted to raid a mansion and a bug caused the evokers to all summon vexes repeatedly, even after I broke line of sight. They didn't stop when I left the mansion either. It was especially scary because it was in a hardcore world and I couldn't fight off all of them. Fortunately a quick save and exit fixed the issue and the game returned to normal.
