This guide is suitable for both Java and Bedrock versions of the game and will cover key information surrounding iron golems in Minecraft, including: drops, behaviour, spawning and how to manipulate iron golem spawning mechanisms to create iron golem farms.
There were too many characters in the transcript, so here are the key points summarised instead:
INTRO
- Commonly found in villages and occasionally in pillager outposts
- 50 hearts of health
- Can deal up to 15 and 1/2 hearts of damage on hard difficulty
DROPS
- Two drops, one of which is guaranteed whilst the other is possible based on chance
- Iron ingots dropped in quantities of between 3 and 5
- Poppies dropped in quantities of between 0 and 2
- Iron golem drops are not increased through the use of the looting enchantment
BEHAVIOUR
- Will stay close to villages regardless of how they are spawned in
- Often stands face-to-face with a villager and during this interaction may appear to offer the villager a poppy
- Main role is to protect villagers from harmful mobs
- Will attack nether-based mobs, including ghasts if in range
- Mobs that aren't attacked on sight by an iron golem: all passive animals, creepers, iron golems, killer bunnies, villagers and the player
- Immune to drowning and fall damage
- Have a 100% resistance to knockback unless being attacked by a knockback sword or punch bow
SPAWNING
- In both Java and Bedrock the player can spawn a single iron golem using 4 iron blocks in a T shape with a carved pumpkin above the top-centre block (In Bedrock edition only, the player can replace the carved pumpkin with an uncarved pumpkin or a jack-o'lantern and receive the same outcome)
JAVA
- Spawning is based on villager gossip and the villager who starts the gossip must satisfy the following conditions:
- the villager must have a profession and not be a nitwit
- the villager must have slept in the last 24,000 ticks (1 in-game day)
- the villager must have been to their job site block in the last 36,000 ticks (1 and 1/2 in-game days)
- the villager must have gossiped 5 times about the need for an iron golem
- the villager must have 4 other villagers within 80 blocks of themselves
- If the above 5 conditions are met, an iron golem will have the chance to spawn in a 16x6x16 area centred around the villager who spread the gossip
- Java iron golem farms should aim to:
- Keep villagers as close together as possible
- Provide each villager with an accessible bed and job site block
- ensure that the only spawnable blocks inside of the iron golem's 16x6x16 spawning volume are in the iron golem farm
- iron golems can only spawn on solid blocks but can spawn in water
BEDROCK
- spawning is based on the number of beds and villagers within a village
- In order for iron golems to spawn, a village must have at least 21 beds and 10 non-nitwit villagers, each of which must be occupying one of the beds
- the spawn rate of iron golems does not seem to be affected by increasing the number of villagers in the village
- if the spawn conditions are met, an iron golem has a chance to spawn in a 16x6x16 area, centred around the centre of the village, which is defined by a bed, a bell or other meeting point
- Bedrock iron golem farms should aim to:
- consist of a compact village containing exactly 21 beds and 10 non-nitwit villagers (another set of 21 beds can be added but this essentially creates a second village, merged with the first, and makes the village centre unpredictable, so this is highly unadvised)
- ensure that the only spawnable blocks inside of the iron golem's 16x6x16 spawning volume are in the iron golem farm
JAVA & BEDROCK
- iron golems are 2.7 blocks high and have a width of 1.4 blocks, so it is advised that you kill the golems, using lava, in a chamber that has an internal volume of at least 3x3x3
