Mansioneer
Have you ever wondered why Woodland Mansions are only found in Dark Oak Forests? Were you looking for an interesting reason to explore the vanilla world? With the Mansioneer mod, Woodland Mansions will appear in numerous biomes throughout the world! Each building blends harmoniously into the surrounding environment, making the exploration process more exciting and rewarding.
In which biomes do mansions appear?
Currently, the mod adds Woodland Mansion generation in swamps, savannas, taigas, jungles, deserts, forests, birch groves, icy, snowy, plains, and mountain biomes, as well as their variants. Additionally, they can appear in cherry groves and pale gardens. Each biome type features a unique block palette and thematic design!

We recommend checking out examples from the mod's gallery! It showcases a selection of various variants added by Mansioneer.
Can I move into a mansion?
Of course, if you manage to evict the pillagers! Some Woodland Mansion variants will require minor modifications, while others — like the vanilla version — only need additional torches. Or you can dismantle them for building materials and construct your own mansion!
How does it work?
Mansioneer changes the standard generation logic of Woodland Mansions. When Minecraft creates a mansion, the mod replaces the block palette using a "block transformer" system defined in the datapack. This ensures instant compatibility with mods or datapacks that alter the appearance of Woodland Mansions.
Why do chests still contain Dark Oak saplings?
Mansioneer does not change chest contents — the "block transformer" system is not yet precise enough to modify chest loot tables. Instead, it directly replaces one block with another.
Compatibility with other mods
Mansioneer should work well with other mods that edit standard Woodland Mansions! If you want to add special variants for modded biomes or use materials from other mods, examine the data files in /data/___/mansioneer. You can create new block transformer palettes, new biome-to-block-transformer mappings, or both!
