This farm is for Java Minecraft and will work in all recent versions of the game!

(TIP IF THE GOLEMS KEEP SPAWNING ANYWHERE BUT INSIDE THE PIT) Make a floating block above the center of the pit and place a boat, put a zombie in and give it some shadow, the iron golems will come swarming.

9 fence gates Shovel 12 beds 12 villagers 4 boats 4 zombies 9 hoppers 2 chests 9 signs 1 lava 2 Water (make into inf water or 4 water buckets)

Really concise and well-paced guide. I didn't really have to pause and rewind constantly. This one was quite nice and refreshing after watching other guides where I'd take a second to itch my nose or something and suddenly the entire build is done and I have no idea what happened.

I would recommend going 20-25 blocks down because in order for a villager to attempt to summon an iron golem there needs to be none in a certain span of blocks, so the lower you go, the more efficient the farm is.

I noticed that if you use a bamboo raft the zombie's sight line will be too high and the villagers wont get scared, switched to any other boat and it fixed the issue.

For anybody having trouble getting the villagers in the hole you can just place the boat over the hole and break it

Bro I’m cryin rn I just built this whole thing in bedrock 😭😭😭

If you are bringing water in survival, you only need 2 buckets for water. When you get to location, dig a 1x3 hole and fill the ends with water. The middle block will convert to a water block. You can take from that middle block for infinite water. Provides just a little extra room in you inventory if you want to bring other stuff. Also, bringing raw materials saves more space. 36 wool, 60 wood planks will only take 2 slots instead of 16 for the beds and boats. 4 planks for a crafting table, 20 planks for 4 boats, and 36 planks and 36 wool for 12 beds.

For those who still can't find the reason it's not working I recommend checking if there is a cave where a golem might've spawned. You can check it manually or there are a few minimap mods which show you the mobs as icons on a minimap, use that to see if golems are spawning anywhere other than the water pit. For me there was a cave nearby where a golem spawned and I could only find it because I was using minimap mod. I killed it and filled up the cave around 10 blocks around the villagers and it started working again. Also be careful if you're going to AFK in front of the killing area as zombies or maybe ither mobs can survive the lava and come and kill you. I was killed by a zombie in that manner so I put glass in front of killing area and now it's all good. And this is just my opinion but I like using villager in a bucket mod to easily move villagers. Note - these are not heavy mods and will not affect your fps unless you're on a potato PC.

Extremely good and useful video thanks

Pro tip you can also create a 3x3 or bigger border around the 9x9 grid with slabs or other non spawnable blocks! It helped me a lot

I built this farm. Had a few issues that I had to iron out, no pun intended. I flattened an island to build this and had to make sure there was not place for the golem to spawn in the villager pit. I used carpet to achieve this, as per a comment in this video. The drops keep getting stuck though so I reset them and hopefully they will fall into the chest.

Just finished the farm. this is craaaazy how well it works

If the water freezes, put a Magma block under each water source. Good video! 👍👍

Thanks sm I've been looking for an iron farm for like a week and this is the perfect one.

Side note: If flattening the area is difficult (or at least time consuming), using slabs or carpet around the area can help

Seeing some great results in my Survival World. Made the mistake of not building it on a flat so that was a mission.... but still have Golems spawning around the drop chute and not in it. Quick fix was getting another zombie in a boat above the hole and placing trapdoors along the sides to make them track the zombie and fall in. Works mint

Tip: If you don't want the poppy's in the same chest, fill the first chest with 1 iron in every slot, then get an additional hopper and another 2 chests (or one) then place the hopper underneath the iron chest then place the 2 additional chests underneath that hopper and fill the chest with the poppy's the same way with the iron chest that way you can separate it

It worked, i built it in my first survival world, it makes a lot of iron,just make sure u place torches in every stair where the zombie come down becus iron golems can glitch spawn there, also try make it far from rivers or like i did, use blocks to turn the river into flat surface.

no matter what the iron farm is the hardest part is always to get the villagers and zombies

Glad i turned on the notifications so i can build this as soon as possible in my new survival world!

If you get golems to spawn in the zombie space, just put fences around the boat. As in, you should have 4 fences in total, 2 far left and 2 far right, then just make sure the boat is pushed up against the wall so that the zombie can't hit the villagers, and the iron golem can't spawn on the fences.

Tip if you are struggling with iron golems spawning where you don't want them to. Fill in all the surround caves with water to stop golem spawning in them. Place a zombie above the trap hole with shade in a boat. Put a large fence around the farm and fill in with torches to avoid any mobs coming close and distracting the golems. My farm wasn't working at all until I tried doing all that now it works a charm

I had one problem: the zombies in the boats could reach my villagers. I lost 8 villagers, so my tip is: make the zombie place 3x3 and place the boat almost right under the stair

This design could work in bedrock if all the villagers have an occupation and there are 5 villagers in each of the rooms. works decently well :>

Great job on the build

great farm works wonders ty

The farm works but im not getting the same drops as you. i have spawn proffed the area above and caves nearby but still not getting that many golems spawning?

Guys I found I good way to stop iron golems spawning outside all I did was build a chamber with a zombie inside above the middle

thanks its working very nicely!!!

Thank you so much for this, it's a huge help! Also: I didn't have any lava nearby, so I used campfires instead. They take a little longer to kill the golem, but they're easier to get a hand on.

So is it actually a total of 8 blocks down? like 7 blocks down from the first? cause I built it down 7 blocks and golems still spawn on the flat area

I'm kinda confused because I followed stp by step and the golems are spawning outside of the farm and not a single one has been in the water nor the lava Edit: I tried covering the entire area in slabs and it still didn't work

Worked great for me thank you! It is a little tedious getting the villagers there but i chose a farther location. Also a suggestion, add a whole block ( i used slabs didnt work) to the roof where the zombie is and fill in the stair way down. The iron golems manage to spawn in there and kill the zombie!

Pro tip if u build on a mountain that spawn proof all of the sides that are close to the farm so that the iron golems spawn in the trap

You can do this with only one hopper by placing water in the corner of the 3x3

i´d recommend carpeting the inside of the villager rooms. i had a couple iron golems spawn inside of them and kill the zombies, and didn´t notice for about an hour or so.

OMG TYSM SO MUCH THIS WILL HELP VERY MUCH!!!!

Thanks for the video

I like the design it was easy to set up! However im “only” getting around 700/hour. Ive filled in some caves with slabs but is there an easy way to check if the golems are spawning somewhere they shouldnt be? - I just have a few beacons id like to set up so it would be nice to get the 1300+ per hour

can i just spawnproof everything around the farm with buttons to prevent them from spawning up there?

I built this farm and ran it for an hour on hard difficulty. Output was 553 iron ingots. Very respectable, but not the 1450 promised in the title. My guess is the title has extrapolated from running the farm overnight, i.e. not taking into account the day-night cycle. By the way, tip for anyone running into golems spawning outside the pool: the spawning algorithm checks six blocks up from where the beds are, which is why you dig down six blocks. It checks eight blocks horizontally, so all terrain around the pool inside eight blocks from any bed MUST be above the pool level (i.e. more than six blocks above the beds).

I like your way of teaching us. Thanks

I just spent 3 hours making this and it doesn't work 😭😭😭

so im only getting one golem every 30ish seconds is that right or should it be 4 ?

Thanks for this tutorial

I spent over an hour doing this (did it on a hill and a creeper blew it up the first time) and was just reading the comments, "does not work on bedrock" i'm going to riot !! great video though, made it real easy to follow

Ive spent 50 hours on this farm now. Theres about 7 chunks of flat land around the farm. Villagers kept dying so did the zombies. I spent hours trying to replace and breed them. Made sure all villagers and slept because no iron golems were spawning. To do this i had to move all the zombies and edit the holes so the villagers couldnt see them. Then i had to remake the holes and make sure all villagers were in panic mode and couldnt sleep. In the end it does work not a single golem has spawned and i forced to accept that i should have just moved on to a better tutorial. Also im using java so hopefully thats not the problem. 50 hours wasted i think im done with iron farms for now

I already tried 2 iron farm yet none of them works on our server I don't why It doesn't work even if I follow all of the steps correctly kinda makes me pissed and sad

thanks working properly

if the golems do not spawn in the trap do not do -7 blocks but 8 and fill in all the holes and flatten the zone next to the farm with minimun 8 blocks

My iron farm worked pretty good for maybe ten minutes until the iron golems just stopped spawning. I looked around in any near by cave but they werent spawning there too.

I got no where near 1450+ iron per hour I got 500+ iron per hour Is there any way to increase the rates?

THANK YOU SO MUCH ME AND MY COUSIN WAS HELPING ME WITH THIS

Is the trenches 7 blocks down from the dug trench making it 8 deep from the surface or is it 6 deep from the trench making it 7 deep?

Thx JWhisp, this really works super well…👏🏻

I did this in 1.20.4... Its not spawning any golems.. Anyone knows any reason for that to be the case???

I also like to add 3 holes in the wall near the villagers and place blast furnace,grindstone,smithingg table and add a ladder to the villagers so that i can trade iron for emerald.

I haven’t completed it yet but I put some villagers in and a golem spawned accidentally hit one of the villagers while putting them in and the golem attacked. So I killed it but noticed it hasent respawned yet? Any clue on why that is so so I have to wait to have all the villagers in?

I build it exactly like this but there are no golems spawning. Tried it in a superflat world and still not working. Why?

I have been building this farm in every server for like the past year thanks to LaZ1en

Tysm! it works well

Bro thank you very much you are the best

It worked first, but then the iron golems stopped spawning. The Villagers where all sleeping but they still don't spawn.

Does this farm work in bedrock edition

if your having problems getting the villager into the hole (pause🤨) try driving the boat over the hole and destroying the boat. villager should fall right in. if you decide to breed 2 villagers inside the whole make sure you place a block in between the 2 slabs so that it cant run out.

Thanks dawg

Sadly, nowhere near 1450+ iron each hour, but a alright farm i guess.

TIP FOR BUILDERS Check for caves and other underground openings before making your farm because if there's a cave next to your build, then it may malfunction or not work at all because the golems would spawn anywhere in the cave/opening. So, either check for caves and avoid them or fill them so that the golems spawn only within the farm's proximity and not anywhere else.

The farm works perfectly,well explained thank you :)

Can’t wait to build this in my new world

USE name tags, the zombies despawn if you don't after about an hour. I died trying to kyte the zombies in after they despawned again, and i died and went to spawn(10000 blocks away). I deleted the game after that. It works well, just use name tags on zombies please

Worked for half an hour then stopped randomly ~ Java 1.20.1

The only problem is sometimes iron golems spawn in the walls of the villager chambers and kill the zombies, they never survive because they suffocate and idk why they spawn inside of the slabs

Does this only work on a certain version of Minecraft?

It takes us as many seconds to like, share and subscribe as it takes you to mention if it’s for Java or Bedrock.

DO NOT USE THIS FARM DOES NOT WORK

For those who wanna build this but are not able to find a flat area, just dig or build a 37by37 blocks flat are and build everything aroudn the center point. This will make sure there are no spots on the surface iron golems can spawn, and you can then easily build and decorate or whatver above the ground with no risk of creating spawnpoints for the golem. Jut make sure the villagers are dug 7 blocks down.

I prefer the 5x5 square about 10 blocks in the air. 2 villagers breed to 5. NO Zombie needed. Build a small tower around it to make it look nice. Easy peasy.

i was having one problem which was that golems were spawning outside the farm. quick fix is put a zombie above the drop chute. that does work but i had golems outside the range of the zombie and i figured out why the were spawning outside the farm. there were blocks that were below the layer i built the farm on so the golems could spawn there. my fix to this was to either place blocks there to raise it to the height of the farm or make them path blocks by right clicking on dirt with a shovel.

Question: I have my base inside of a mountain, and all of my farms are dug into said mountain. Can I do that with this farm? Will the golems spawn properly if the farm is in a space dug into the mountain?

Main question I have is do you need to fill all the pods with villagers or can you do to that are on opposite ends of eachother or even possibly only one?

Would this farm work better in theory if you built the whole thing the same just 25 bocks up into the sky? Or maybe above a deep ocean so you don't have to worry about spawn proofing?

I have built this farm, and after some initial trouble of golems spawning all over the landscape, and not in the hole, I have one persistent problem... all my captures adult zombies seems to go missing from their boats, sometimes after the 1st sunrise, and after day two or three they are all gone.

Thank you so much

So i have had an issue with another farm where iron golems will stop spawning until the villagers are not scared for a moment i just wanna ask if it is also the case with this farm?

Can we use each of the corners for the same farm, to increase spawn rates or would it be to close to the other ones?

How did u make the signs float?

The golems spawned in the zombie room and killed them. Is there a fix?

For some reason this farm doesnt work for me, are you sure its for 1.20? I tried it in 1.20.4 specifically and it doesnt work at all. Im not talking about golems spawning outside the pit, im talking that no golems spawn whatsoever. And yes, I followed your guide perfectly, built every single villager chamber on the third diagonal block from the pit, built all the chambers facing away from the pit, and i even gave the villagers a chance to use their beds before getting the zombies in the farm

Does things like grass interfere with the spawning of the golem

I would recommend if you put 2 trapdoors between the slabs since villagers can escapr if they go down there...

This farm works so well but make the height of the rooms past the trapdoor and slabs stuck at 2 otherwise the golems have a chance of spawning behind those items

Does this farm work in the spawn chunks or does it require a player to be nearby?

I built in a forzen ocean and followed the steps, no golems spawning. any ideas why???

if i put a villager breeder about 30 blocks away will that effect the iron farm?

I just wanted to say, I like this farm a lot. It does require the player to mine resources to set it up, but whether that's a problem depends on the village you're working with and if you have easy access to a mountain. Mountains are beautiful sources of the iron needed for the initial hoppers.

Works amazing and is easily expandable 👍

My zombies keep despawning, dying or killing me before I can get them in the boat and sometimes they just walk on top of the boat and dont go in it.
