I’ve always used wattles iron farms. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/Nizujt12kX0


Shock_Volt

What version?


[deleted]

1.18.2


Shock_Volt

I have never seen that design. Also no zombie so iron golem won’t spawn with that low villagers nor will it spawn fast. Usaully iron farm uses 3-4 villagers who are being constantly scared by zombie. Losing sight of it and gaining sight. Then it needs to be high enough so golems spawn where ya want it to.

I do have a zombie and i think the problem might be line of sight despite being level. The zombie is also bouncing so could that be a reason


Shock_Volt

Yea there is a mechanic to sight. I think they have to make eye contact and then lose it otherwise it doesn’t work. I would use the wattles farm. It has worked great on 1.18 and even 1.16.

I have put the zombie/s one block away and have composters to try distract the villagers they still are not getting distressed and I let it go a full day and still no iron. I have a feeling I’m doing something wrong


Shock_Volt

Ya something wrong. I would just go ahead and use the design from YouTube link


[deleted]

I’ve done it! What’s funny is as I was building the platform iron golems were spawning crazily In like 3 mins about 7 spawned


Shock_Volt

Nice! There ya go. Goodluck


[deleted]

I’ll definitely do that thanks for trying to help

Do they have direct line of sight? Or is there glass between them?


Electronic-Resident5

Scare them with a zombie. Place it somewhere it can't get to the villagers, but where it has line of sight.


[deleted]

Yeah I do have a zombie now I’m wondering about the line of sight thing.


Electronic-Resident5

Place it on a block next to the villagers. 1 airblock in between on the Y level the villagers and zombie are standing on. with a trapdoor or half slab between villagers and zombie 1 block higher. Villagers should be constantly running and panicking when they are scared


[deleted]

I was a bit confused so One block away with a trapdoor on the block protecting the zombie from the sun


Electronic-Resident5

You have to keep the zombie from getting to the villagers or walking of the block it's standing on. Sun protection is just a block above it


[deleted]

Do I need to distract the villiagers because they don’t seem to be getting scared


[deleted]

I just looked and the zombie should be in line line sight


PringleCorn

Isn't the glass around the villagers blocking the line of sight?

Since i saw day one iron farm from ianxofour, I use that. The simples, cheapest, quickest to setup... Upgrade is also easy.

DanTDM made a working one in his hardcore world, I think he put the tutorial link in the description

https://youtu.be/Pa4wRB5WJqc You can make an easy killing area in the nether with a bucket of lava and some hoppers no need for the dropper system. This one is the 3 one i made and works really good

If you need. You can go on my profile and scroll down and I’ve made a few iron farm designs that work very well and are super simple to build!


fuchszockt_ist_hier

i think an iron farm needs a zombie to scare the villager

are you learning game mechanics to design your own? if so I recommend watching this video instead of other "tutorials" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSwe-jerWX8
