Last updated

So, how do you make an iron farm in Minecraft? It sounds like a big task, but with some patience and creativity, you can become a master iron farmer!
Short Answer: Building Your Iron Farm
To start an iron farm, you need a few villagers, beds, and a zombie. The idea is to scare the villagers with the zombie so they spawn iron golems to protect them. Then, you can set up a system to collect the iron from defeated golems!
First, find a good location. You want it to be away from your base or any of your builds because it will be a bit noisy. Once you’ve chosen a spot, you’ll need to set up some beds for your villagers, and create a place to safely contain a zombie where it can see the villagers, but not reach them. This setup encourages villagers to spawn iron golems. Make sure to build a collection area below where the golems will spawn to gather the iron they drop when defeated.
