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

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20!
In this tutorial we build a simple, cheap iron farm design for Minecraft Java Edition. Please note: this farm does not work on Bedrock Edition at the time of this recording.

Iron Golems are naturally spawned by villagers when they feel threatened and there isn't already an iron golem around. Today we take advantage of that by building a super simple setup in which three villagers are menaced by a nearby zombie, causing them to create iron golems which we then push into lava using flowing water, destroying them to collect iron ingots.

Along the way I showcase a great way to trap a zombie in a cauldron, explain easy ways to spawnproof blocks, and discuss how villagers can spawn iron golems even when they aren't panicking.

We also take a look at how to find your world spawn point, why an Iron Farm works in the Spawn Chunks but crop farms don't, and how to make sure your Iron Farm zombie doesn't despawn!

I’ve been playing minecraft for over 12 years now so I think of myself as a reasonably seasoned player but I love this educational series! I find the series so relaxing and soothing to watch. Thanks for spreading the good vibes Pix!

You have no idea how reassuring it is to see players as experienced as you do the whole “Oh, there was a spawnable block and the iron golem killed my zombie” thing.

I feel a lot less dumb now 😊

Disclaimer for Bedrock players: this iron farm will NOT work!
That is because Iron Golems spawn only when they are 10 working villagers( they have a jobs, and no Nitwits) and 20 beds. They also do spawn when villagers are panicked.
There are plenty tutorials out there, and I'll let you see for yourselves so you may find the one that fits you the best! I can lead you to some if you want and can't be bothered with searching, wich is understandable!

Also, the off-hand trick with the carrots does not work (because we have a very limited off-hand, we can only put shields, totems, maps, arrows, fireworks and nautilus shells) !

The gossiping is not a feature on Bedrock either!

The main point of this comment is: villagers are completely different depending on the version!

I'm also pretty sure we don't have spawn chunks, so place your Iron farm in a place where you're going to spend a lot of time instead!

"You're about to see the smoothest way anybody has ever caught a zombie in minecraft."
Your actions definitely lived up to this description.

I have watched many iron farms built but your explanations as to the spawn mechanics are top notch, thanks again!

[fjolliff]

You can place a hopper filter for poppies under the chest, lead into a composter set up to collect bonemeal. Instant iron AND bonemeal farm.

[Flareontoast]

Personally, I cannot be bothered to move villagers around and usually just end up going on large mining trips with fortune to get iron. But you make it sound real easy:D

[jts]

I've had mixed results with the trap door method to block line of sight (haven't tried the flower pot). So now I use an Etho hopper clock and a piston to raise and lower the zombie every 30 seconds or so. It guarantees the villagers sleep.

Rest in peace You Got Me. You got got.😔

[Sahl]

3 beds, handful of building blocks, a flower pot, a cauldron and a couple of villagers, name tag, a zombie, slabs, fence gates, water buckets, lava, hoppers, chests, signs

[MrDanglyLegs]

When Pix found the block where he spawned in, I was half expecting him to throw the compass on the ground to receive his artifact.

I literally just watched your iron farm tutorial from s2 again because it got recommended to me lmao. It's really interesting to compare your past videos to videos now with the same topic

[Xacris]

Really love the new generation of iron farms. Fun thing is that in addition to paths, leaf blocks are also non-spawnable for golems, so I like to add little hedge mazes to decorate these ground-level farms

[UltraRTXAnimation]

Wow, this video is incredibly helpful! 👏👏 The level of detail you went into for building an iron farm is just so satisfying to see 😊. Also, the way you caught that zombie and put him in a cauldron was hilarious 😂. Really admire your teaching style and sense of humor. Looking forward to more awesome content! 🌟

[Gimic]

I admire how you managed to get so far without iron farm! Remarkable

[harrystanley]

Hey Pix! If you only have 2 water sources on the corners rather than a row of water sources the golems will be pushed towards the middle of the platform, as well as, towards the edge. That allows you to just have the fences and the golems won’t get blocked at all or take any suffocation damage.

Love the design with path blocks tho! Very cool!

[DragoBreeder]

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)

[jacobdegeling]

Been waiting for this 😂 I like the new design, much easier to build than the survival guide 2 version, even though it's much the same

[doxlistenstostuff]

I was looking forward to seeing the new design ever since you mentioned the redesign on stream. i've got the season 2 version on my single player world and it is a beast. I've got iron for days. The redesign seems to make for easier building, since it's ground based, and using signs would make it easier for very early game.

I also appreciate the fact that the footage of the escaped golem was left in. It makes me feel less silly when I know I'm not the only one who has things like that happen.

[giovannirocket]

It should be noted that iron farms also double up as a bonemeal farm as well! Just have to hook up an item filter for a composter and boom, bonemeal and iron at that ready
