About this build

This compact four-chamber iron farm delivers a steady, automated supply of iron ingots through a symmetrical layout of water channels, villager pods, and a central collection point.

Design and Function

  • Layout: The farm features four large water collection basins arranged in a cross shape around a central drop chute. Spawning mechanics drive iron golems off the edges of the water platforms, funneled inward by walls and fences toward the center.
  • Villager Pods: Elevated glass pods containing red beds ring the outer edges of the structure, maintaining the necessary village parameters to trigger golem spawns across the platforms.
  • Collection Mechanism: A central drop shaft equipped with 9 soul campfires and 9 hoppers channels the output directly into a storage chest system at the base.

Scale and Requirements

  • Dimensions: Spans 49 by 49 blocks horizontally with a height of 26 blocks.
  • Core Components: Utilizes 48 red beds, 9 hoppers, 9 soul campfires, and 4 bubble columns driven by soul sand to manage entities and drops efficiently.

Placement and Integration

Position this farm high in the sky or in an unloaded chunk away from other villages to prevent spawn interference.

Tip: Put a lightning rod in the middle of the farm in the sky, in case of the event of a thunderstorm, the lightning will hit the rod instead of any of the villagers turning them into witches and ruining the farm.
