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 the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. 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. The main non-crafting route is 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 this comes from a mob, the Looting enchantment on your sword raises the drop rate, and building or finding a dedicated spawn area turns a one-off kill into a renewable farm. Remember that Totem of Undying does not stack, so each one you gather takes a full inventory slot — bring a chest or shulker box if you plan to collect several. Worth noting 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 they share locations, recipes, or a progression path. For full stats and the crafting grid, the dedicated Totem of Undying item page has the complete breakdown.
