IRON FARM GUIDE & NEW INFO! | Minecraft Bedrock Guide 1.21 EP15

Introduction

This guide provides a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial for creating an iron farm in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, specifically tailored for version 1.21. Following along with this guide, you will learn how to build an efficient iron farm, optimizing your gameplay and resource collection.

Step 1: Gather Required Materials

Before you start building your iron farm, ensure you have the following materials:

• Building Blocks: Any solid blocks (e.g., cobblestone, stone).
• Villagers: At least three villagers.
• Zombie: One zombie to scare the villagers.
• Beds: Three beds for the villagers.
• Workstations: Optional, but can include composters or lecterns.
• Water Buckets: For creating channels.
• Trapdoors: To control the movement of iron golems.

Step 2: Find an Appropriate Location

Choose a flat area away from other villages or structures to build your iron farm. This will prevent interference with the spawning mechanics of iron golems.

Step 3: Build the Villager Platform

1. Create a Raised Platform:

   • Build a 3x3 platform to hold the beds.
   • Ensure it is at least 2 blocks high above the ground.

2. Place Beds:

   • Position the three beds on the platform to allow villagers to sleep.

3. Enclose the Area:

   • Build walls around the platform to keep villagers contained.

Step 4: Introduce Villagers

1. Transport Villagers:

   • Use boats or minecarts to bring villagers to the platform.

2. Assign Workstations (Optional):

   • If desired, place workstations near the villagers to give them roles. This can help manage their professions.

Step 5: Add the Zombie

1. Create a Zombie Containment Area:

   • Build a separate enclosed space close to the villager platform to hold the zombie.

2. Introduce the Zombie:

   • Lure a zombie into the containment area using a boat or by placing it in a minecart.

3. Position the Zombie:

   • Ensure the zombie can be seen by the villagers to trigger their panic response, which is necessary for iron golem spawning.

Step 6: Set Up the Iron Golem Spawn Area

1. Build a Spawn Platform:

   • Create a flat area adjacent to the villager platform where iron golems can spawn.
   • Use solid blocks to define the edges of the platform.

2. Add Water Channels:

   • Use water buckets to create channels that will guide spawned iron golems towards a collection point.

Step 7: Create a Collection System

1. Set Up a Killing Mechanism:

   • Below the spawn platform, implement a system to eliminate iron golems. This can be done with lava or by falling damage.

2. Collect Iron Drops:

   • Place hoppers beneath the killing area to collect iron ingots dropped by the golems.

Step 8: Test the Farm

1. Ensure All Components Work:
   • Check that villagers are panicking due to the zombie, which should trigger the spawning of iron golems.
   • Monitor the collection system to ensure iron ingots are being gathered efficiently.

Conclusion

Building an iron farm in Minecraft Bedrock Edition can significantly improve your resource gathering capabilities. By following these steps, you can ensure a successful and efficient farm. As you become more comfortable with the mechanics, consider expanding your farm or experimenting with different designs to optimize production even further. Happy crafting!
