Booty's 1.2k 3 Pod Iron Farm

An early-game single-dimension 3 pod iron farm using a zombie to scare the villagers. This build is cheap, features easily configured villagers, uses a single zombie for three villager pods, and allows villagers to be bred on site where they pathfind to their beds.

How it Works

• Uses a single zombie to scare villagers across three separate pods to spawn iron golems.
• Sensitive to villager reload RNG, where rates on exceptionally bad reloads can drop to 800 iron/hour.

What it Produces

• Iron Ingot: 1.2k/h (base rate).
• (1.19-1.20.1) Rates are reduced to 1.1k/h.
• (1.21.2+) Rates are decreased due to [MC-301649].

How to Use It

• Two schematic variants are available: a base version and a hopper clock variant for players who frequently skip the night, as skipping the night can significantly lower rates.
• For lower version compatibility, ensure there is a roof above the villagers to prevent them from getting struck by lightning.
• (1.21.2+) Wandering trader llamas can kill the zombie, so build with the spawning platform above the ground at a minimum of 8 blocks (the higher, the better).
• If rates are low and only one golem is spawning, reload the chunks the farm is in for new rates.
