Where to Find Totem of Undying in Minecraft

Totem of Undying can turn up across All Overworld biomes (Raids) and Dark Forest (Woodland Mansions), so 2 places carry Totem of Undying and the method you pick decides which one you visit. Evokers spawn in Woodland Mansions (Dark Forest biome) and during Village Raids (Wave 5+). Hold in your main hand or off-hand to automatically prevent death once. Without a recipe in hand, getting Totem of Undying comes down to collecting it as a mob drop.

Totem of Undying has no crafting recipe, so the efficient approach is to go straight to its source rather than hoping to stumble on it: get it as a drop from Evokers in Woodland Mansions and Raids. Triggers when you would take fatal damage, restoring health and giving Absorption, Regeneration, and Fire Resistance. Raids are triggered by entering a village with Bad Omen status (obtained by killing a Raid Captain Pillager). Farm Evokers during raids for renewable totems; mansions only contain 2-3 Evokers. Since Totem of Undying comes off a mob, the Looting enchantment on your sword raises both the chance and the number that drop, and building or finding a spawn area of your own turns it into a renewable supply rather than a one-off kill. Totem of Undying never stacks, which is what makes a shulker box worth carrying on the trip: 27 slots, 27 of them, nothing doubled up, and no sorting to do when you get home. Totem of Undying comes with a footnote on the version side: Added in 1.11 (Exploration Update).

Players hunting for Totem of Undying often look for Enchanted Golden Apple, Shield, and Diamond Chestplate as well, since those share a location or a recipe with Totem of Undying. The Totem of Undying item page carries the full stats and the crafting grid.
