Hi there,

the Blueprint for this build is in an aerial view. The grid is 45 Blocks wide by 29 Blocks high, but this build would need a 31 Blocks wide by 31 Blocks high grid, so with this build the Blueprint doesn’t include the top 2 rows of the build. With the levels that have some form of stone reaching the top edge of the Grid, repeat the bottom 2 rows at the top but flipped, so the bottom row is the same as the top row of the Blueprint. This Blueprint uses 1 page for each level of blocks/items, in this build it is 16 levels tall, I build this with the top level at ground level, or completely underground, however the way it is designed you could build it completely above ground.

An Iron Farm is one of the first farms you want to produce, because Iron tools are quite effective and if you plan on building farms and storage systems, you are going to need a heap of Hoppers. In this build I use a lot of Hoppers, to start off with you can just use a few Hoppers to get the Iron that is dropped by the Golems into a temporary chest in the boundary of the farm. Later, you can add the hoppers to bring the carrots in from the Carrot Farm, and once you have built the Storage System you can have the Hoppers taking the Iron through to your Storage System and remove the temporary chest.

I have seen people mention all different distances for how close you can build a Iron Golem Farm to a village, I seen 64 Blocks, 96 Blocks and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one say 128 Blocks and these distances are the same as the simulation distances, to be safe I would make the Iron Farm more than 128 Blocks from an existing village, failing that go and take all the beds, if you decide to kill the villagers watch out for the Golem for that village. Use a Bucket of Lava to kill the Golem. To find villages I use a website/blog called Chunk Base, here’s a link to it https://www.chunkbase.com/apps/village-finder (I am not affiliated with Chunk Base). You will need to put in the seed number and select the edition of Minecraft you are playing. To find the seed, go to “SETTINGS” then “GAME” (usually what it goes to by default) then scroll down to “SEED” and you will see the number (if it has a – in front of the number you must include it. Then you should be able to see the Version Number in the bottom right corner of the first screen when you open the game.

I use Polished Diorite and Polished Granite for most of the construction because I can use the pattern to ensure I line everything up perfectly. Any stone will do where I have used Cobblestone, Diorite or Granite, the placing of Glass and or other Blocks is very important around Redstone dust because Redstone dust won’t send a signal through Glass and Glass won’t cut Redstone dust lines going up or down Blocks with the edge of the Glass on the Redstone dust. The path of Redstone Dust and the positioning of the Repeaters, Levers and anything else that uses or is controlled by Redstone Signals is critical that you place it as the Blueprint’s say I can’t guarantee it will work if you don’t follow the Blueprints exactly. If you are having trouble getting it to work please email me at contact@farmzy350.com and put the subject as “ Help Iron Farm” I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

The 3×3 of Scaffold on the first page of this Build is so that if you build the Iron Farm on or near a Slime Chunk (to find a Slime Chunk, go to https://www.chunkbase.com/apps/slime-finder and once again I am not affiliated with Chunk Base), then you can have a 3×3 Scaffold going from your Slime Farm straight into the Base of your Lower Golem Spawn Area and the Iron Golems will kill the Slimes and you will have an ongoing supply of Slimeballs. Slime’s will only spawn below Y Level 40, unless you are in a Swamp Biome. If you have no intention of having the Slimes going into the Iron Golem Farm, or you are not ready to make Slime’s go to your Golem Spawning Area, don’t worry about the 3×3 Scaffold, just keep the floor pattern going where the 3×3 Scaffold is, if you want you can always put it in later.

This Iron Golem Farm also has a Villager Trading Hub, I have included a Pressure Plate to activate one of the Droppers that will automatically give Carrots to the Villagers for breeding, there is also a Lever to dispense the Carrots from all 3 Droppers if you would like. The Doors in the Villager Trading Hub must be made of Iron, otherwise the Villagers can open the Doors themselves. Sometimes you will get lucky and a Villager will change to become the relevant trader to the Workstation in the cubicle, you may have to try picking up the Workstation and putting it back down again, if you leave the Door open you will most likely find the relevant villager will enter the cubicle to access the workstation, when this happens shut the cubicle Door then run in and put a Block of stone in front of the Door and a Glass Block above it, this will stop the Villagers breeding through the Door. The other way you can try to get the Villager to change to the correct Workstation is by pulling the Fletching Tables up one by one, this is painful and doesn’t always work.

MAKE SURE TO KILL ALL THE “NIT WIT’S” THE VILLAGERS IN THE GREEN SHIRTS.

There is a lever that will operate a piston in the centre to drop water in the trading hub to push the Villagers to the cubicles. You will need a block on top of the working tables, or the Baby Villagers will just jump the Workstation and escape. Once the Villager in the cubicle is an adult you can remove the block of Glass on the outer most Workstation so you can trade. The Carrots will not flow into the Droppers unless the internal Doors are closed, so build your Villager numbers up to more than 15 before opening the Doors to the cubicles.

You can just build either the Upper Golem Spawning area or the Lower Golem Spawning Area, or you can build both Upper and Lower. If you aren’t going to Build both the Upper and Lower Spawning Area, just make sure that there is no spaces 3 Blocks high with in 9 Blocks above the highest Bed Pillow, 6 Blocks below the lowest Bed Pillow or 8 Blocks horizontally from any Bed Pillow. Golems may spawn on Blocks up to 8 Blocks horizontally and 6 blocks above or below the Lead Villager Bed Pillow, this is also known as the town centre, it could be any one of the Bed Pillows.

When you are building the Upper Golem Area to get the water to flow right you will have to put a Block in the centre, in the hole in the floor, once the water flows right you can break that block.

It is important to have plenty of lighting throughout the build to stop the spawning of hostile Mobs, I prefer using Jack o’Lanterns because they are more durable than torches, however torches will work fine until you manage to make sum Jack o’Lanterns. If you look up “which trade matches which table in Minecraft” and go to “images” you will find several pictures showing the different Workstations and relative Villagers.
