Minecraft 1.20 Iron Farm Tutorial! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.38]

Does this work on bedrock to ?

What to do if the villagers are not scared of the zombie

This is an elegant and effective early-game iron farm. Well done, and thank you!

I've been trying to replicate this farm for the last couple hours however I cant seem to get it working. My zombie almost never stops jumping once in the couldron and when he does finally decide to stop the trap door isn't blocking his line of sight. So when I break the surrounding blocks and the first trap door he immediately jumps out. I have your identical block placement and the only difference is I'm using different trap doors. Do you have any idea what I may be doing incorrectly?

Piston substitution is pushing the zombie out of the cauldron on bedrock for me. He’s like half buried in the dirt.

That's a fancy hat, Mr. Trapped Zombie in the cauldron.

I build this iroon farm and i went for afk and when i came back up all the villagers became zombified villagers.

I tweaked this build just a bit, but it's working beautifully for me! Thank you for the tutorial!

There not panicking?

Couple questions from a newb; on the villagers need to have been zombies who were then cured, if so why?

Also, what mechanic is involved with the location of the farm? What about spawn makes the farm work best? Thanks in advance for any explanations!

Tried building this, the iron golem can fall forwards over the 2 block pit, a 3rd block width is needed, so 3x5, not 2x5

I need to build an iron farm. I'm basically out due to making rails for my sniffers.. and minecart and hoppers

I made this pretty much exactly like you did, but I keep getting iron golems killing my zombie. I have completely spawn-proofed the ground and I even went out to ten blocks with dirt path blocks. I surrounded the falling point with glass so the golems couldn't stand on the ground just before the pit (they kept standing on that small part of dirt right next to the pit). I have slabs on all of the building blocks... They just keep killing my zombie.

As a subscriber since the first Survival Guide, I love looking up iron farm designs and this being one of the first to pop up for a compact farm! I know the quality is already there.

Tried this farm, every once a while a golems will fall sideways and kill zombie, on my 3 rd zombie now might have to put glass around it and top it off with slabs ?

I followed everything you said and my villagers won't even react to the zombie

Hey Pix, thx for your nice guides! I`m actually facing an issue, the farm is not working while i am not near. I am on the same seed like you and the farm is located in the very same chunk like the world-spawn. I was not leaving the actual dimension like travelling to the nether or the end. Do you or somebody else have an idea what could be the Problem? I`m on 1.20.4 java edition. Thanks for your help!

I can't get this to work. I haven't been able to identify where the golem is spawning outside the water area. Best I can tell, I have covered all my bases.

Does anyone know if this works on minecraft mobile (I believe its in bedrock)

You said you would have an explanation of the Spawn location mechanics in a later video. If I may ask, which one is it?

The zombie trap contraption just isnt working for me

can i substitute a minecartfor the cauldrin?

I did step by step, it’s not working, plz help. I have it 105 blocks away from the villager breeder and it’s no where near my spawn.

Will this farm make my world laggy? I'm playing on an old computer, and the thought of having iron entities just standing there because all the chests are filled up terrify me

Do you have to use cured zombie villagers?

I just built this on Java 1.20.4 and unless I messed something up it keeps spawning iron golems outside the 5x4 area and destroying the zombie.

I do not recommend nor do I endorse this, at all.

you built a sorter without an iron farm?!?!?

I don’t know must be cause I’m on switch but I’ve done about 3 or 4 different ways of doing an iron farm and not one has ever worked. This will be my last attempt before I just go to creative when I’m in desperate need of iron.

How tileable is this design? I haven't played in a couple years and my old design no longer works, but I usually stacked up 4-6 iron farms for massive output. Would putting the same setup on all 4 sides of the zombie work or would it ruin efficiency?

I Build today your Iron Farm. It was working 5 Minutes then the Farm stops. The villagers are freaking out and the Zombie Makes his Job. Is there and Update Problems. I Updated to 1.20.6

As of 1.20.6 , this once working iron farm is no longer producing anything.. I can't seem to fix it (I changed nothing)

As of 1.21 this still works. However, I will state it only seems to run at night. Now this could be because I use a boat instead of the cauldron because the method @Pixlriffs was using didn't work for me.

I know that this video is 9 months old, but if you use walls on the side instead of fence gates it will work flawlessly. Just extend the walls out 1 block past the open fence gates.

do you need a zombie villager tho ?

Why build the iron farm at the orginal spawn point of the world and not neae your base

The zombie trapping method doesnt work for me😭

This needs an update for 1.21; several mechanics have changed.

Being an avid Hermitcraft enjoyer for the last few years, but falling out of tutch with MC after the nether update, (just got distracted by other hobbies and games) I love this series, Learning the newer stuff scince 1.17 or so.
Also i do like the probably unintended nods to some hermits once in a while, and talking about players who always sleep the full night away, in my head i went "For the Bdubses amongst us"

If you just put a bit in the description about the spawn chunk change, this would again be a really good video

Why does my Zombie not stay in the cauldron?
I lure him there, he jumps up and down but even after closing the trap door he keeps jumping and if I remove the side one, he escapes.
Also, if I cant find Zombie villagers, could I bring villagers there by boat or will they try path find back to their original village beds?

I followed Pixlriff's tutorial to the letter and my farm has been working well for along time however it only works during the day. Once night falls the villagers get into bed until morning and the farm starts working again.

Does the drop need to happen if they're dying from the lava?

Can iron farms be built on Xbox?

Was there a change in 1.21.1 that broke this farm?

I was a noob when I started playing minecraft. Thanks to this minecraft guide I survived 560 days in my hardcore world.

I love this video 100% but i'm having an issue with my zombie, it wont stop jumping, is there anything to do or is it simply just a waiting game?

i built my iron farm inside a giant hot air balloon, so what i did was i put a zombie in a minecart and made him circle around the villagers, but i left a gap of a few blocks on one side so that when the minecart is going around, the villagers get in bed and then are awoken when the zombie makes a lap. the spawning platform for the iron golems is above this entire contraption, and the water is in the middle pushing out in all directions. then on the bottom of the interior of the hot air balloon, all the water is funneling the iron golems back to the center, where theyre then burnt by campfires (which is perfect for the hot air balloon design) and then from the basket (which doubles as the afk platform) theres a bunch of hoppers and chests gradually going down to the ground (which is the "rope" holding the balloon down). i went afk for exactly 1 hour, and i got 3 stacks plus 20 iron ingots and also 58 poppys. so far ive only built this in creative (just to test mechanics and behaviors), but this fancy and functional design will soon enough be implemented into my singleplayer survival and on my friends server. :)

but not working on aternos server my server whyy :(
