An important point he mentions when describing this iron farm design is that if the farm is built too high up into the world on the Y axis, the rates will be severely diminished. This means players should build it relatively close to the ground level to maximize rates. Based on his testing, the is perfect at around Y=85.

There is no biome restriction of any kind, though players should make sure not to build it near any existing , as they will interfere. Players should also keep the chunks loaded to allow it to run and accumulate iron. A very simple and quick way to build an iron farm can be found below.

For this example, the platform is made of 15 blocks to account for slight elevation changes in the nearby environment.
3 Villager Rooms
The completed villager rooms in the iron farm, surrounding the center room for a zombie (Image via MInecraft) Players will want to convert this foundation into the rooms that the villagers will inhabit. This is done by building up walls around the three block long foundation to keep the villagers in, as well as setting up a single block opening in the middle that the zombie will reside in.

Once the walls are built, players will also need to place a bed in each room, as this is required for the area to count as a village and spawn iron golems. Players also need to put a torch in each room to keep hostile mobs from spawning and killing the villagers.

4 Getting a zombie
A zombie placed into the iron farm's center room (Image via Minecraft) The next thing players will need to do is get a zombie in the water block in the center of the farm, and then either give it an item to keep it from despawning, or give it a name with a nametag to keep it from despawning. This zombie will panic the villagers, causing iron golems to spawn, so keeping it alive is vital to ensuring the farm’s functionality.

The water will keep it from burning during the day, and the nametag will make it a unique mob, which is unable to despawn naturally like other mobs.

There are a few different ways that players can move villagers, including the following: Boats and water or pistonsManually shoving themUsing a chain of workstations that they will walk to and set their profession to lead them where they need to go These villagers are what spawn the iron golems, so their placement and survival is vital. Make sure the inner walls of the farm are set up so that the zombie cannot reach the villagers.

Otherwise it will kill the villagers and convert them into zombies. The farm will break, as no villagers can panic and spawn golems.

6 Creating the iron golem spawn area
The first of the upper layers (Image via Minecraft) Players will want to pick one of the sides of the front of the farm, this is the flat side of the farm, and place three stairs on the corner of the front wall of the villager room, as seen above. Then players will need to build a platform covering the rest of the farm. The second upper platform (Image via Minecraft) Next, players will need to place seven stairs perpendicular to the original three stairs, and create another floor to the platform, as seen above.

The walls placed around the upper platform (Image via Minecraft) Players will need to go around with walls, removing the corners. This will keep water from escaping the farm while also ensuring that no iron golems can get stuck.

The water and signs placed into the iron farm's upper layers (Image via Minecraft) Players will then need to place three signs on the gap between the walls near the three original stairs to allow golems to fall but hold in the water. As the last step, players have to place three water source blocks opposite the sign gaps, and then seven water source blocks opposite the upper row of stairs in the back of the farm. Doing so will force iron golems off of this platform.

7 Making the iron golem removal machine
The foundation of the collection area (Image via Minecraft) Players will want to center the area where are killed by placing a row of temporary blocks down the ground from the middle of the original three stairs. From this spot on the ground, skip one block and then place three double chests. Pace three hoppers leading into each chest, creating a 3x3 hopper platform.

The finished kill area (Image via Minecraft) Players should create a wall that is six blocks high around the hopper platform. On the third level of the wall, players should place nine signs. This will keep the lava from destroying the drops from the iron .

But because of how tall iron golems are, the heads of the golems will be in the lava, resulting in death. Players should place a lava source block on top of the middle sign, which will flow out and over the rest of the signs.
