The Totem of Undying is a powerful combat item in Minecraft that prevents a player from dying once it is equipped. It grants bonus effects and can be a lifesaver in Hardcore worlds, boss fights, or while exploring dangerous areas.

โ How To Get the Totem of Undying
You can only get the Totem of Undying by defeating Evokers, which are hostile illagers.
Where to Find Evokers:
- Woodland Mansions (rare structures found in dark forest biomes)
- Village Raids (Evokers spawn in later waves)
Drop Rate:
Mob | Drop Chance | Looting I | Looting II | Looting III |
---|---|---|---|---|
Evoker | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
๐ Looting does not affect the drop rate. One Totem is always dropped per Evoker.
