BEST MINECRAFT 1.21 IRON FARM | New Design, Easy, Efficient

Funny that my zombie has both a tag and an item (a trapdoor he took when I carelessly broke it and didn't have time to take it). Thank you for the new information!

[@KilroyStillHere]

works perfectly! for anyone wondering how they can get around the nametag I personally found a zombie that could pick up items ( dirt in my case) and then it becomes a custom mob so it doesn't despawn!

[@PixalonGC]

btw, you can also put it in a boat or minecart and it also won't despawn

[@Luke-du1vw]

If anyone is having an issue and the golems aren't spawning: At 13:13 place two blocks on both (left and right) sides of the block he is breaking (So as to only leave the block in the middle open for the zombie to scare). I also put the the zombie in water, mine went from not spawning anything to being completely working now.

Nice. I've been using this design for a while. Great to know it was the natural evolution of the earlier farms.

[@MasterIguanaYT]

If it dosen t work for you, do this: 1.Turn the tree block space between the zombie and the villigers into a one block one. 2.If the villigers don t link to the beds->Destroy all the beds, than wait untill night comes and the villigers get to sleep, that should solve it. (The zomboe hole needs to be covered) 3.After 2 or 3 days, cover the space between the zombie and the villigers untill you see all 3 of them in a bed, than brake it again Also some tips i learned while using the farm: 1.Light up all around the farm,that way you don t have to worry about creepers blowing up your farm 2. Put a block and a slab instead of the trapdors, so that the villigers don t get stuck jumping on them

​@@jevettswhat an observation

[@Kepler-17c]

To ensure that villagers get to sleep, I've upgraded my past farms with a sticky piston that regularly breaks the line of sight to the zombie. There are a variety of simple pulse generators to choose from, most notably reading one of the hoppers that carry the iron, and daylight detector + observer. Also make sure there is enough time for the villagers to go to sleep.

[@felixjose4445]

Wait I’m new to mc, can you please explain?

[@Kepler-17c]

@@felixjose4445 Of course, I'll break down the parts separately: Sleeping -> Villagers need to sleep for the spawning to work (check out the wiki for details; it explains the spawn mechanics in depth). I found that they can get stuck in the panicking state. To prevent that, their line of sight to the zombie should be broken regularly. Sticky piston -> Place them facing up below each block, separating a villager from the zombie. With that, you can push up the block to give the villagers a break, then pull it down again after a short delay. Pulse generator -> If you have no idea what this is, I suggest watching some Redstone tutorials. I found it most practical to use a daylight sensor to detect nighttime and shield the villagers. Additionally, a short blocking is performed after each golem. Detecting them is done by reading the hopper line with a comparator, but you could also use a tripwire. If you need more details, just let me know ^^

[@blinkyfnt6970]

@@Kepler-17c could you just use a regular piston facing up where the hole is between the zombie and the villagers? that way you can activate it and it covers the hole or can they still see the zombie and keep panicing

[@Kepler-17c]

@@blinkyfnt6970 I don't know; I haven't tried that yet. Transparent and non-full blocks are special cases, and a piston head has both properties. Are you concerned with finding slime in the early game? At that time, your need for iron shouldn't outpace that farm, and you can easily separate them by placing blocks manually every now and then. When you need it, you should've met a wandering trader selling slime or found a swamp. The small version is efficient already, but you can increase the spawn area for improved efficiency. I built a large version underground, where accessing it for that reset would be a pain. That's where you really need that automatic rest.

[@tmxss_2263]

​@@Kepler-17c if i dont want to break the line of sight manuales is it better to break it at night or day time?

[@fibromurker]

If u are willing to spend a little but more time, 11 more hoppers and 21 more signs, u can dig down the hopper+lava area 20~ blocks down and make the farm more efficient, the reason u need more materials is because the golems catch on the lip of the 3x3 hole so u have to make it wider by one on the front, and sides, u can leave the back cause its flush with the wall. If u keep the wall blocks 3x5x3 as it is originally than the golems cant get caught on the lip, the reason this is more efficient is cause it takes the golems out of detection range fast, thus reducing time to kill and summoning new golems quicker

[@carcinogenecist2054]

i found that simply extending the left and right sides out by one fixed the issue of golems getting caught on the lip.

Just because I learned that the hard way a couple months ago, don't forget to put a lightning rod somewhere just far enough to make sure lightning won't turn the villagers into witches. The design I usually use is not as compact and may not be as efficient but easier on resources in the early game. It's the same kind of idea but the golem appears trapped beside the villagers prison, water pushes the golem diagonally towards lava which is 2 spaces above one hopper. So the water help put the iron ingot in the one hopper. It's such an old design I couldn't tell you from who I got it from.

Thanks for this! Great design. One suggestion that helped me. I noticed that every once in a while (not often) the farm stopped working. I saw the suggestion that the villagers need to sleep occasionally. So I added a sticky piston and a lever to the glass block on one side. At night if I pull the lever, the glass block moves and blocks the zombie which causes all the villagers to go to sleep. I then pull the lever again and it opens up and the farm starts working again. Playing in Java. Hopefully that helps someone. Cheers!

Very nice video wattles and thank you for the iron farm! However, it might not work if you are just as unlucky as me and the villagers get hit by a lightning, turning them into witches and effectively ruining the iron farm. So, don't forget to place a lighning rod to attract the lightnings.

[@HolySoliDeoGloria]

I've built the farm to specs. I've checked for caves (none). I've killed all nearby golems. I've tried adding blocks left and right of the block broken at 13:13. The villagers do panic and they do sleep repeatedly (so they are associated with those beds). I've removed and added and removed the block broken at 13:13. The farm is at least 20 blocks from other villagers. I've put water in the lower block of the zombie's location (covering his lower half). I've kept the trap doors shut when I'm not adding or removing blocks inside. After all this, I have not had a single golem spawn. (Java 1.21.3) EDIT: I went to the nearby village (more than 20 blocks away, but now with the beds, the farm is essentially part of the village) and killed golems again. I've had two golems spawn since then. Still it's pretty slow. EDIT2: I've built two of these (in two different worlds), and they work very well.

[@DisguisedPigeonLOL]

I think 1.21.3 broke it. It worked for me a few days ago, and suddenly it won't. No golems anywhere, everyone is panicking, they are able to sleep, etc.

@@Frankchatter44 I've built two of these (my main world and a family member's world) and they work very well. I don't know what the fix is or was. I've done the following: (1) As others have suggested, I replaced blocks inside the villagers' cell so that they can only see the zombie through the middle air block. That seemed to help. (2) I've eliminated iron golems in nearby chunks. (3) It works better when it's farther away from other villagers. The second one that I built is several chunks away from a village and other villagers, and it has worked very well from the moment I finished it. The first one is just over 20 blocks from where I have a villager trading hall. It has worked well since I really policed iron golems, and I've kept the other villagers away. (4) Lighting up the surrounding area seems to help, too. It keeps the mob count lower.

Great iron farm, had a couple problems where for some reason the villagers couldn’t sleep while being scared therefore the farm wouldn’t work so I added a daylight censor red stone mechanism which moves the zombie downwards temporarily so the villagers have time to sleep, then back up so it scares them and spawns the golems. All automatic.

Just saying for anyone that is also adding the compactor to an existing farm, make sure to turn off the farm (just remove the lava temporarily or another way) and remove all iron and poppies from the chest.

I put the block in to block the zombie after "bed time", they found and laid in their beds for a couple seconds, and then I broke the block again and they woke up and started panicking and an iron golem spawned immediately.

[@craigobrien001]

Thanks, Wattles. I still use your earlier iron farm in an old game. I like that this ground-based design looks more natural and less like a minecraft farm :) I also found that with this design the iron golems stopped spawning after some time. It seems to be for two reasons: - One of the villagers refused to sleep - Occasionally an iron golem would spawn on the ground For the first problem, I did two things mentioned in the comments here: - Narrowed the window between zombie and villagers to just the centre block - Replaced the trapdoors either side with a block & slab pair (not sure why the trapdoors are there?) & replaced the campfires with dirt path blocks That seems to have fixed the sleeping problem. Not sure which step worked, or whether it needed both. For the second problem, I wondered whether the first double chest at ground level (immediately after the 3x3 hopper killzone) was a valid spawn spot for the iron golem. I dropped the chests down 1 block, feeding them with an additional hopper below the 3x3 hopper array. I also extended the line of hoppers horizontally to place the chest further away from the building, covering the lot with dirt path blocks. Lastly, I extended the dirt path area by 2 blocks in all directions. So far so good!

[@frog42]

[@SatoshiKenji]

Well, this is just for aesthetics, but if you still want to use wood as building material, you can always use either crimson or warped wood, since they're basically fireproof. But again, this might be a beginner level of iron farm, so I'd imagine that people who're building this didn't go to the Nether yet.

[@lememaker]

Built this in 1.20.4, and had the same issues with previous farms where it only works during night. I did 2 fixes, not sure if both are necessary but this design is now working. 1st, I put a sticky piston facing up under the block that separates the zombie from the villagers and hooked a hopper clock to it. This breaks line of sight and returns it over and over. 2nd I put blocks on the ceiling above all beds except the front of the middle bed to force villager movement during the day to be around the zombie's line of sight, while still being able to access the beds at nighttime.

[@florian4012]

how many items did you put into the hopper clock?

[@Justtwhyyy]

Did you just put it over the beds or did you do the side ones not over the bed?

[@Consortiumed]

@@florian4012 I believe it should be 38. Villagers look every 30 seconds for an iron golem, if there on none then one spawns. Hoppers transfer items at a rate of 2.5 items/second. So 30 x 2.5 = 75. But since its a switch we can split the time in half so 75/2= 37.5. We have to round to 38 to reach the full 30 seconds needed for the villagers. The other half of the clock (when the zombie is out of range), doesn't matter in this situation because it takes a second for the villagers to sleep

Hi Wattles, is there any way to add more modules to this farm? or just move away a little and repeat the entire process?

[@miike2]

you need some space between each "module", because every said module of 3 villagers is considered like an artificial village created by yourself, so you would basically want to create multiple "artificial villages" distanced at least 20 (i think) from each other. i think wattles mentions that in the video somewhere, but if he doesn't, it's surely mentioned in an old video by ilmango made around the time iron farms needed to be redesigned, or just resort to google, this info is surely known and findable somewhere :D

I've tried this and I can't tell a difference.

Thank you, great tutorial!!

[@Stagemaniac]

Just built this whole thing in survival from beginning to end and didn't have any success. Then I looked it up and I'm playing in Bedrock. Thank for the build I guess. It looks great.

Hi! The farm worked really well for a short while, very efficient. Then it suddenly stopped working. Only 1/3 villagers tries to sleep, for about a second before it goes up again. Not sure, but I think it stopped working around the 1.21.4 update, could that be a reason?

[@hi_im_willow]

yeah mine too any update?

[@sturlaflatenjrgensen3146]

@@hi_im_willow Yes, I made it work again! I removed the zombie to allow the villagers to sleep. The first nights only one of them wanted to sleep still (don't know why). I planned to swap out all the villagers for new ones, but suddenly, after putting the project a bit on hold, I realised that all villagers were sleeping. Then I got a new zombie and it worked again.

[@muffinicial8738]

pro tip for the zombie: if you cant find a name tag yet, just make the zombie hold an item. not all zombies can hold items, but if one is holding an item it cant despawn, serving the same purpose as a name tag

[@diggusbickus]

Noob here. Can this design be stacked?

I would like to use this method to convert my skeleton farm to create bone blocks. I don't understand why this isn't working. Exact same build, just a second crafter on top of the first, and then a chest. Thoughts?

[@Matatoflx]

No golems spawn for me, im on java ofc and infollowed every step, plus theres no caves around

[@kristybs]

that happened to me, my problem was that my villagers wouldn't feel like sleeping, I blocked the sight of the zombie, waited until the 3 of them went to bed, then removed the blocking and it worked. Not sure id it's your case

Always make sure to break the last bed the villagers slept in to get them to

[@ZRX69]

hey, i was wondering, if i can build this farm in multiple layers. like 5 exactly on top of each other. or would that effect anything? i know that villagers have a radius where its better to not have other villagers in, but is that also when the villagers are underneath or on top? thanks

[@jaronahokas2225]

it doesnt work for me somereason :(

Friendly reminder if your zombie disappeared and you play on normal and are changing difficulty to improve villager trades, when you switch through difficulty going on peaceful will despawn the zombie ✌️

[@zach2011w]

Working like a charm. Was worried my cave would make it difficult, but I'm guessing since it's a bit cavernous and mostly aquifer, didn't cause too much issue.

[@TennaPenna]

I tried building it, but the villagers wont sleep

[@Avion1776]

Ok, I could sound like a complete baboon, but in my limited experience of working with villagers, I believe it is (in my situation) because I would build the initial breeding station too close to where the villagers would end up, so when I placed their new beds, they would still try to pathfind to "their" bed that they initially picked. So, I would break all the unused beds in the breeding place, wait for those green particles around the villagers, which means they chose a new and available bed, and you're set. Again, just what I've found, but since no other replies have in, figured I'd try and help. Best of luck😊

[@ilCrafta]

@@Avion1776 Thank you so much fam, turns out I had the exact same problem. You really just saved the lives of 3 villagers (Phil, Will, and Bill) I had already given up on.

[@Avion1776]

@@ilCrafta Absolutely no problem, glad I could help someone out (and of course Phil, Will, and Bill) 😊

[@JoeBerg38]

The farm works great, only adjustment I had to make was to increase the radius of the path blocks around the farm. So far, 12x12 around seems to do the trick. If youre having issues with the villagers not going to bed occasionally, just place a full block in front of the zombie at dusk, wait for the villagers to get into bed and then break the line of sight block again.

[@tc-vh3xk]

Ok

[@Rexton0-l9w]

i do that but i guess they still to scared to sleep. so they just don’t ever sleep. i can’t find the issue

[@Ryan-dx8ry]

Can you double stack these farms next to each other? Do they need to be apart from one another?

[@joni66554]

yeah just bulit the farm like 30-40 blocks away from my 2nd iron farm and now it does not work for some reason.. but the guy in the vid sayed 20 blocks so big scam

[@Gray_Taylors_Version]

If u don't want to block out all the caves, build it in the ocean, I put mine 20 blocks out in the ocean and it works perfectly. That way u won't have to worry about the paths and caves. Also just put slabs on your bridge there so golems don't spawn on ur bridge

[@wattlesplays]

thats a smart call!

[@gogobi4490]

how much iron does it produce in an hour? and also instead of filling caves am i able to just build it high up

[@Walker99603]

I have the same question. only thing that comes in mind is that it need the outside zombies
