Minecraft Bedrock: How To Fix Your BROKEN IRON FARMS! Tutorial! MCPE PC Xbox PS4

[@silentwisperer]

UPDATE: You need to be within 64 blocks horizontally for golems to spawn:) Leave yourself a couple blocks of safety when planning your build! Hopefully this helps you fix any issues you have with your iron farms! Always see a lot of peeps in comments having issues, and figured it would be a good idea to put all the info/troubleshooting into one video so you can get things up and running! 😋 This tutorial assumes you are trying to build an iron farm that is still functional in the current update. And this video isn't meant to have *all* information about every nitty gritty detail of how iron farms work, but I shared all the main important stuff that will likely affect you in game:) Have a great day! 😊

[@wobblylist]

Nice

[@antemorph66]

Thank you for this. I really need one for my creeper farm as well. I've made 3 and they each break after about 2 weeks. Creepers just stop spawning for literally no reason. There's not a bunch of people online, my caves below are very well lit up etc. It just wont spawn a single creeper. Thank you if you could so that

[@sugarwall8794]

Lol I thought iron farms were broken in general 😂. I rushed so quick cuz I already built your iron farm (works great! 😊)

[@quinnjackson2514]

Hi silent, thanks for the video. I was wondering if name tags take villager spawned iron golems from the mob cap. I have an idea for iron golem based body guards, and player spawned golems do not attack players. Thanks!

[@ComicKodi]

One thing you left out, to increase golem spawn rates, is to remove the lava. Tame five cats that the villagers spawn, place them in a case beneath your farm, replace the lava, and then the villagers will ONLY spawn golems. Because if they spawn a cat, that removes a golem spawn as they can spawn one or the other. But having five tamed cats in the area prohibits the villagers from spawning a sixth cat as five is the cap for 20 villagers. So you’ll get much much much more iron.

[@BASED.88]

Good to know, thanks!

[@ComicKodi]

@@blobbyfish897 I’m not sure what you mean.

[@DFWHoppe]

Is that true on Bedrock? I'm in a seemingly unique situation where my entire base is overrun with Villagers. I tamed over 20 cats and have them stationed around to keep Phantoms away, but there's always new cats.

[@ComicKodi]

@@DFWHoppe Yeah, I play on bedrock. But it depends how many villagers you have and how far spread apart they are. In the instance of the golem Farm, the villagers are all bunched together and only able to spawn 5. When they have, say 100x100 area to move around in, their cat spawn rates aren’t limited at all.

[@jonathanprince707]

The best trick I’ve found to keep villagers linked to their workstations is to stand them in water, it also tends to keep them linked to the same bed too. I usually move my villagers into four capsules (5 in each) then add the workstations, doing in small groups ensures they link to the correct station. Hope these tips help

Placing villagers in water is an old mechanic that's not really needed anymore. The trick is to keep them from pathfinding (walking) which can be done by putting them in a 1x1 cell.

@@johnleneriesanroque8156 sounds like you need to make sure spawning is possible and then just wait in the area for a few in game days. Also verify everyone can reach the stations there linked to. Sometimes removing and replacing the beds so you can verify they're all linked to as well is worth it, but whatever you do, once you've got it in a good state, it can take a few day/night cycles to get going. Lastly, check back to his other iron farm specific videos for troubleshooting tips and specific mechanics this uses to verify everything is set up right

[@ImAFatFunnyGuy]

SilentW... I've build many villager/iron farms. My newest one just wouldn't spawn Golems! So frustrating, until I watched your video. Your attention to details, and one little comment, the spawn rate is 16x6x16 did it for me. That little tiny number in the middle, the 6 - told me that they won't spawn higher than 6 blocks from the beds. Yep, that was my issue, my platform was 8 blocks high as I wanted to accommodate more chests below it. I had to raise all the beds and BAM! - Golems started spawning. Thank you for the amazingly detailed presentation.

[@JakeRippin]

So I was actually having a lot of trouble keeping the iron farm from breaking. It would inconsistently spawn golems and a lot of the time none at all. Tried all of the fixes including the most time consuming resynching beds and work stations. The only solution that fully fixed my farm was I created a 10x3 area for the villagers in the same spot that the 1x3 area shown. It seemed that they were either desyncing from their stations or not able to work under the current circumstance. Ever since I changed the holding for the villagers its completely eliminated any issues or breaking occurances. I've done this to all 4 of these that I have and they all work fully and never break.

[@charzzzard6653]

For the classic bedrock "Dig-a-Hole-in-the-ground"-Iron Farm I always recommend to dig two "service entries". One to the bed floor and one to reach the working stations. Everytime I notice that they lost connection and Golems stop spawning I have fast access to beds and stations 👍

Not the most technical player, but I'd try checking if there ar any OTHER villagers in the area, even if the villagers in the farm are correctly linked to everything, having more villagers/linkable blocks around the farm could bug it.

Honestly your video on iron farm + trading hall is the answer to these problems.

I wouldn’t say there is no reason to have more than 20. My iron farm is a trade hall as well and I use 40 villagers for trading.

[@mesaplayer9636]

there is no reason to have more than 20 villagers if an iron farm is the only purpose.

[@drk-xr]

He meant rates wise it doesn't do anything so yeah you can have more than 20 but you'll still get the same drop rates as the 20 villager iron farm

[@Moraenil]

After many days of troubleshooting with 4 villager cells of 5 dudes each, I assigned different jobs to each cell and figured out that some of my villagers are connecting to jobs on a different side than they're on preventing them from working. No matter what I do I cannot get them all to grab the jobs by them. I'm hoping maybe there'll be an update that'll force them to grab what's closest, even if it's just from resetting them or something. I'm desperate for iron and need this working.

[@Moraenil]

So I ended up altering the villager section into a single room over the center of the beds, similar to a different video I saw (don't remember whose atm). This made it so they could all get to their stations and they couldn't sleep either. I stationed some cats in there too to keep them from spawning cats and keep with only golems. This worked for about a week until lightning apparently broke through the leaves I had over them and turned them into witches (while I was afk). Now my farm is broken and I have to entirely restock the villagers from my broken breeder (breeders keep escaping their boat). The maintenance and rebuilding of these farms is a royal pain.

Well you only need to load the chunk where your iron farm is. Going far away will unload the chunk which means it will not work when you are away

The two biggest challenges I have with Bedrock are villagers un-linking from beds and workstations, and entities despawning across chunk borders. I really hope those will be fixable at some point in the future! Won’t stop villagers from being frustrating though. 😑

[@KRO-222]

@@akashh435 yeah that’s maddening too - if I understand correctly that’s because the game considers them entities when they’re moving

[@HeartlandHunny]

I built an iron farm over the last two days and at first it was spawning golems, though half of them were spawning outside the farm and at some point while I was placing blocks around to keep them from spawning, they just stopped spawning altogether. I had five of my own cats near the farm, so cats weren’t spawning either, but no golems. I tried so many different things (including almost dying to a zombie that I was trying to lead into a box because I had no idea that wasn’t a thing in Bedrock 😝), but came up with no reasons why it wasn’t working. This video was so helpful! Now I have an idea of what might be the problem. I’m feeling a lot less frustrated now, so thank you! I’m brand new to Minecraft, so all the videos I watch take for granted a lot of knowledge about the basic mechanics of the game that I just don’t have. For example, I’d heard people use the term “nitwit” to refer to certain villagers, but I had no idea that meant they were villagers who couldn’t have jobs or what they looked like. And now I’m thinking back to several times I put a work station in front of what I now know was a nitwit over and over again and absolutely confused about why he wasn’t becoming that profession. 🤦‍♀️😂

Rebuilt my 20 villagers farm three times, taking down and replacing every station and bed, checked that it’s well over 100 blocks away from the nearest work block, just can’t get the golems to spawn. Everyone’s linked to an adjacent work block and bobbing in water to prevent unlinking. There’s a witch hut with farm nearby, could that be affecting it?

Can you place a stonecutter next to the farm after the iron farm is done and the villargers have job

You can if you’re very careful. Lock the profession of each villager in the iron farm by trading with them. Don’t bring additional villagers to the area.

I have a weird issue with my farm. My bottom layer actually has a slight border around it - it’s completely enclosed, entirely dark, and the height is such that golems can’t spawn there. Up until a month or so ago, I would get a slow but steady stream of other loot (rotten flesh, bones, slimeballs etc) from the other mobs that were spawning. But then, that just suddenly stopped and I have no idea why. The iron farm itself has continued to run absolutely fine.

[@chrissutton950]

how are you killing your Mobs? spawning changed so any light stops spawns

[@Whyme-wl4hb]

What are the conditions that need to be met on bedrock for iron golems to spawn? In java edition iron golems can spawn either from gossiping or by panicking from a hostile mob (mainly zombies), but I don't know all the conditions for bedrock edition. Is there only one way for them to spawn (other than them naturally spawning in a village)? How many ticks go by before they attempt another ig (ig = iron golem) summoning? What is the radius villagers scan to detect the presence of an ig? Those are the questions I try to ask but I always get the same answer (if any at all) being, "there must be 20 beds and 10 villagers"
