How far from the center are the villagers once you've trapped them behind their workstations? Im trying to figure out where to put the outer wall.

Here is a note to anyone building the double layer of beds. I built the farm with the single layer first to hold forty villager. The farm worked like a charm, but I soon realized I needed more beds for more villagers. So I built the second platform of beds just as the video said to and bred up a few baby villagers, then I went afk. When I got back on, the baby villagers that were running around the inside were gone. I thought that maybe they somehow had escaped and gotten zombified or something. So I bred up a few more just as I did before and while I was busy trading with the other villagers, I heard the baby villagers start to die. I had just slept and what had happened was the baby villagers somehow used the first platform to jump to the second platform and got in the beds. When morning came, they all suffocated and died. I ended up putting a fence wall from ground to floor all the way around the beds and so far this hasn't happened again. Another thing to note is that even though the villagers have a roof over their heads, they can still get struck by lightning. I was afk at a different time and when I came back I discovered that two of my armor smith's had been turned into witches. After breeding up two replacements, I installed nine lighting rods symmetrically on top of the farm. I placed them all on three high pillars, and so far none of the other villagers have been "WITCHIFIED". Hope this helps anyone struggling with these issues, please upvote so more people can see this. God bless.

[@nicholasrollins8413]

Hey I’m trying to build my own with the double layer and was wondering if doing a 20x20 trader effects the farm due to being too big and out of range

[@aidenbarkowsky79]

Yeah, I am also curious how the villager placement looks for the double farm. I currently have 48 on the outer walls and the inside wall around the beds but I am curious if there is a more aesthetic way to place them.

[@LittlePlant888]

Just built this farm and it's working great. I never knew you could have more than 2 golems spawn at once. I don't know what all the haters are talking about because the video isn't bad at all despite it missing some steps. Thank you, sir. Pro tip: if you're breeding your villagers within the iron farm, don't place any blocks near the beds that the villagers can jump onto, because they will jump into the beds above and when they "wake up" at sunrise, they'll get up onto the golem spawning platform and die from the lava. Update: this farm is great, I have a trading hall of 40 librarians with all the good enchantments and I've already collected two full double chests of iron. I even made an item sorter at the bottom beneath the trading hall level

[@Ayyavazi13]

For those looking for a material list, here's my best shot: 1056 ish building blocks 8 chests 13 hoppers 21 signs 1 slab Water 1 bucket of lava 1-2 iron doors (optional entry) 1-3 buttons (for the doors)

[@MrBoxinaboxinabox]

It took me 25 signs. 21 is the number of signs that hold the lava (9 on the bottom, 12 around the edges), but I needed 1 more on each edge to hold the other signs up (since signs can't just be floating). Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

This is - by far - the best Iron Farm I've made. with 40+ villagers, it produces much better than the smaller (20 villager) farms that I've made/seen in the past. The trading hall is a nice bonus and I'm building a 2nd base around this feature. Thank you!

[@Ice_2228]

Did building a base around it affect the farm at all? I was thinking we have to keep this farm far away from beds and work stations, I was planning on making mine really far away and linking it to the nether hub. But if it's ok to have it as t your base, that'd be more convenient

[@MrWuddles]

@@Ice_2228 building around this farm did not cause any issues with the farm. I placed 1 bed for myself at the base and after I got the villagers in place I put a bucket of water at their feet to prevent unlinking. I build a huge auto sorter right behind one side of the farm with several other crafting tables nearby.

Thank you so much! Keep up the good work and I hit those buttons!

[@Qvartz_Lite]

Here are some improvements I made for it (and some tips too for making it easier to build): 1- Replace the top hopper (the one that is just below of the slab holding the sign) with a campfire to deal with baby cats getting stuck down there and hogging the mob cap. 2- Instead of doing the 5:07 step at ground level, leave at least 5 blocks of clearance to build some storage and not have to dig a hole for it. For example, I started my farm at level Y:64, but to fit my storage, I built a 17 x 17 platform 10 blocks above the ground, centered with the rest of the farm, for the villagers to hang out, and fit the storage unit below, so the villagers are sitting at Y: 74 now, and the farm is above them. 3- Chunk aligned my farm. This is going to make sure the villagers don't despawn by accident in the chunk borders. I aligned mine by putting the center block of the farm (The one Prowl marks with bricks at 5:31) in the northwest block of the center of the chunk. (Chunks have a 4 block center, pick the one that is northwest. Locator maps are very useful for this task) 4- Build above Y: 0 Even tho Prolw stated that it doesn't matter, one of my friends built it at Y: -58 and the farm isn't working at all. In fact, there's a lot of farms both in Java and Bedrock that are breaking at negative Y levels. 5- If you are going to do the Trading Hall, bring your villagers 1 by 1 and give them the jobs you want as you bring them. If you bring a bunch of them and then start assigning them jobs, there's a chance they are going to swap constantly and make things confusing. 6- Also, general Villager tip: Always trade with your villagers to lock them in the job you want them to have before leaving or placing more job-site blocks, that way there´s no posibilityof them losing the trades you want. 7- Move the job-site blocks with sticky pistons back and forth to reset the villagers' jobs until they offer the trades you want before trading with them, instead of breaking and replacing the job-site blocks,. It's quicker. 8- Do the kill chamber in creative first so you know how to place the signs and to see if you are letting the lava leak somewhere before doing it in survival. 9- Do Spawnproof the top area of the farm, either by lighting it up or using non spawnable blocks. I've AFK'd this farm and found my sorters clogged by rotten flesh, gunpowder and bones. 10- If you are gonna test this in creative, make sure to enable the daylight cycle. Otherwise, the farm is not going to work. Hope it helps, and massive tanks to Prowl for this bomb design!

[@MoonlitShoreWalk]

I built this a while ago in survival and it works beautifully! I did have a couple of hiccups to work out though; my villagers were too far away from the beds in their little chambers, so I moved them all a few blocks closer; some of the beds I used were original to the village I flattened and converted into the farm, and I think that also confused the villagers (i.e., some were too far from their original bed), so I removed all of the beds and replaced them with 40 brand new, never been used beds; and lastly, on the rare occasion a golem would spawn outside of the farm, so I expanded the outer ring of the spawning floor from 4 blocks wide to 7 blocks wide. That's it! A few minor issues to solve and it's been flawless ever since. Thanks again for the tutorial! Planning to build it again in another world! 😁👍🏻

So was trying to trap a zombie and put a name tag on him. My biggest compliment is that you have put the villagers to USE! Normal farms they are just another building block but combining the iron farm and trading hall is amazing. It's so simple and somehow I've over looked it a dozen times. Great video!

[@timothydodson8396]

@@Crazy-ms7ty Just keep a couple things in mind. Your spawning platform is 17x17. The four block extension one block up is to prevent Iron Golems from spawning where your villagers are. Villagers must be within 3 blocks vertically of a bed. You must not have more villagers than beds. 75% of your villagers must have worked the day before in order for the farm to work. This means the farm will not work on the same day you create it. Just go to bed like normal and it should begin working when you wake up.

Just wanted to add a tip if anyone is looking for an "easier" way to build this. Do it in a mountain, you just have to carve out the negative area's (takes a bit of planning) but it's less intensive than trying to build into the air and less resources needed if you're earlier game and might not have quite that much. The 'hardest' part for me was getting 2 villagers for me... Because it was over 1k blocks to my nearest village but once I got them it's been a game changer... I don't even care about enchanted gear anymore, because I have so many awesome enchantment books available at this point, I even enchanted my flint any steel because I have so much sitting around... Lol

Works ALMOST perfectly. I've heard dozens upon dozens of cats die screaming, but still no string and I did get an iron golem spawned on the outer ledge; still trying to figure out how to deal with him. Other than that, excellent farm! This is the second one I've tried--first one didn't work at all. I spent an evening putting this together and it started working as soon as my villagers were grown up and I started giving them jobs. Love it!

Troubleshooting tip... if you think your villagers have unlinked from their workstations; trade with them, then wait and see who can restock. If they can't restock, they cant access their workstation. Rather than breaking all of your workstations etc, you can do this to identify which villagers are causing the problem. It also helps if you have a glass block above their heads, because you can see the particles better. Great video dude... but how do we combine villager curing for better trades?

Also, I hear that if villagers’ feet are in waters they cannot unlink to their workstations. So try putting water under their feet, and they will be unable to unlink.

They have no issues pathfinding and I can still trade with them. It might be a bit chaotic for some folks, it is for me at times (lol) but its better than frustrating myself over them unlinking/linking with other stations.

I'm not even reading my own post I care so little. Did I pass the vibe check this time? Am I totes based? An inventory list in a description hardly seems like much to ask for. Several smaller channels include them for every single video, down to the optional decorations. Prowl is huge. He's part of the Truly Bedrock crew and these guys are certifiable geniuses when it comes to Bedrock mechanics and building techniques. That being said, this video was clearly rushed. He (or his editor) left out the kill chamber footage, the footprint dimensions for the trading hall floor, and failed to even ballpark the minimum materials required. While he did do a fantastic job explaining the mechanics behind all this, even going as far as to visualize the distance a villager needed to be to a bed and where a golem could spawn, his video could have been a lot better with 30 minutes more work. People expect more of his uploads because he is of a certain caliber. No one was dissing him specifically. Item lists are nice to have so you're not falsely confident you have enough materials only to get something half done and have to run back to the mines. I'm sure a sigma like you probably wouldn't understand the importance of preparation. I'm sure you just have whatever you need whenever you need it for whatever happens in your life.

Hey man! I just wanna say thanks for someone finally making a bedrock iron farm that actually works! Amazing! Just a question though, if one wanted to build over it and not disrupt the farm mechanic, is there a distance from the spawning platform we should stick to? Where the overall platform is 27x27 should I build 30x30? And is there a height restriction above the platform where the golems wont/can't spawn? I was thinking a ruined castle or building. Thanks again, and keep up the good work (loving the empire series so far!)

[@Dennie1305]

Woohoo it worked! Some tips if you have issues, not directly addressed as a possible option why the farm won't work: - my survival world is Taiga Village, completely different ofc, but when the farm was done, I noticed cats walking around in my base. And golems.... so I knew it worked, but they spawned at the bell that we placed on the well on day 1 and never looked at it again. I removed the bell, and think that didn't do the trick yet or not fast enough for my liking. Placed the bell under the center hole of the farm, got green particles and I heard the Golem getting trapped instantly. Removed the bell and every now and then when I think the farm is "broken" or it takes too long I place that bell, get the green again, remove bell and it instantly spawns golems again. Because I made the farm inside my basecamp borders, the beds outside the farm caused that I ended up with 48 villagers instead of 40. When I had everyone locked, and knew I had 40 beds and 40 work stations there would still be wandering villagers. Knocked them cold and now I only have those 40 villagers/beds in my basecamp. Oh and I build my golem layer 10 blocks up, and made a floating platform, below that zombies spawned. Lighted up the whole area beneath and no golems would spawn for 30ish minutes. Logged in/out, etc. Removed all the lightning under the platform again and golems pop up at a nice rate imo. Zombies staring up my platform. Might build an iron fence around it.... Iron 4 days babyyyyyy But really, that bell had my whole farm in a tight necklock

[@mtpockets01]

I really hate to say this … this Iron Farm can break. Yes the beds need to be centred, but the POI’s (workstations) need to be accessible to each profession too, as these are more likely to scramble than the beds. If you have 5 Farmers, they need to have access to ALL composters. So Farmer A would need access to all five composters, Farmer B would need access to all five composters and so on. That way if the composters become scrambled, the Farmers still have access to a workstation. The same applies to all profession blocks. Once you have that scenario, then the farm is unbreakable. I believe you can verify with Old Guy whether I’m right or not.

[@Prowl8413]

You are correct, but farms scramble for a reason usually. Typically that reason has to do with additional beds that can be claimed within the range of villagers, or beds / profession blocks being out of range of the villagers. Also from my experience beds are more likely to swap than profession blocks for whatever reason. I do have over 100 hours at this farm, with frequent loading/unloading of the chunks, and built it prior to 1.18.30, so it has gone through a version release as well, and there has been no POI or bed scrambling. But... Mojang can mess things up... which is why I did include the troubleshooting tips at the end for how to fix a broken iron farm.

[@cerato4671]

@@Prowl8413 beds scramble more often when villagers can't access them. every time a villager try to reach his bed and can't, he unlink to this bed and try to find a other one unclaimed. Sometime he reclaim the same bed BTW, you can have more beds then villagers. but all villagers need to be linked to a bed.

I learned from 0ld guy to put a water source at the villager’s feet in their pod. This was awhile back so not sure if it still works but seems to in my experience. Also, Prowl put a trapdoor above the profession block. I put trapdoors on the profession block and I’ve never had one de-link from their work station. I do this for all trading halls, not just iron farms. Just my two cents. Edit: just saw another comment where Prowl said the water no longer has an effect on villagers de-linking from beds. I’d go with his knowledge over mine any day.

[@sidneyvincent5088]

I built this underground near a zombie spawner on bedrock and converted all the zombie villagers for my town hall. I figured the lava out by putting in the sign on the salad and letting it flow, then just put signs up until the lava was suspended. (Works just fine). This is an awesome farm and I am up to 26 villagers with discounted trades. I haven’t had any issues other than I hadn’t filled in the walls that I carved out to build the spawner underground and I found a golem outside of the town hall in between the hall and the underground walls so make sure to fill in if you do this underground. I know Prowl said you don’t have to spawn proof inside the hall, but I did it anyways. If a golem spawned outside the hall, they can probably spawn in it. I just used slabs for flooring. This is an excellent build Prowl and I thank you immensely. This is the first iron farm I’ve ever built and it is working great. I appreciate the time you put into these videos and teach us ways to get more for the effort. I’m already subbed, hope it helps your channel. Thanks again!

Two little pieces of advice: Expand the lava by one on the backside because it doesn't kill the golems until they move.

I set this up in tandem with a mob spawner right above it. I swapped out the lava trap for magma blocks and Built a modest mob farm over the kill pit. So when the mobs land in the pit they fight the iron golems which kills them faster and the golems kill the witches (which renders their fire resistance and healing potions useless). Sometimes I get music disc's from skeletons accidentally shooting creepers. Definitely would recommend. Now when I Afk I get to watch a monster moshpit and sometines creepers explode but because they are in water no damage occurs. 10/10 would recommend its pretty cheap to build and fun to AFK.
