How to get Vex Armor Trim in Survival Mode

You can add Vex Armor Trim to your inventory in Survival mode from a Woodland Mansion. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Woodland Mansion

First, you need to find a Woodland Mansion in Minecraft. A Woodland Mansion is a structure that spawns naturally in the game. It looks like a giant mansion and is only found in the Dark Forest biome.

Here is a picture of what a Woodland Mansion looks like:
