Not sure what happened to my kill chamber footage.. but here is a link to the timestamp of a recent video where I built this farm in survival that shows how to make the kill chamber.

[thewoodlandforge]

Here is a note to anyone building the double layer of beds. I built the farm with the single layer first to hold forty villager. The farm worked like a charm, but I soon realized I needed more beds for more villagers. So I built the second platform of beds just as the video said to and bred up a few baby villagers, then I went afk. When I got back on, the baby villagers that were running around the inside were gone. I thought that maybe they somehow had escaped and gotten zombified or something. So I bred up a few more just as I did before and while I was busy trading with the other villagers, I heard the baby villagers start to die. I had just slept and what had happened was the baby villagers somehow used the first platform to jump to the second platform and got in the beds. When morning came, they all suffocated and died. I ended up putting a fence wall from ground to floor all the way around the beds and so far this hasn't happened again. Another thing to note is that even though the villagers have a roof over their heads, they can still get struck by lightning. I was afk at a different time and when I came back I discovered that two of my armor smith's had been turned into witches. After breeding up two replacements, I installed nine lighting rods symmetrically on top of the farm. I placed them all on three high pillars, and so far none of the other villagers have been "WITCHIFIED". Hope this helps anyone struggling with these issues, please upvote so more people can see this. God bless.

For those looking for a material list, here's my best shot:

1056 ish building blocks
8 chests
13 hoppers
21 signs
1 slab
Water
1 bucket of lava
1-2 iron doors (optional entry)
1-3 buttons (for the doors)

Just built this farm and it's working great. I never knew you could have more than 2 golems spawn at once. I don't know what all the haters are talking about because the video isn't bad at all despite it missing some steps. Thank you, sir.

Pro tip: if you're breeding your villagers within the iron farm, don't place any blocks near the beds that the villagers can jump onto, because they will jump into the beds above and when they "wake up" at sunrise, they'll get up onto the golem spawning platform and die from the lava.

Update: this farm is great, I have a trading hall of 40 librarians with all the good enchantments and I've already collected two full double chests of iron. I even made an item sorter at the bottom beneath the trading hall level

[jimhollis]

I want to thank you for building this farm. I used to loathe making the iron farm on my world. Breeding 20 villagers and trying to put them in a tiny 1x1 was terrible. So was trying to trap a zombie and put a name tag on him. My biggest compliment is that you have put the villagers to USE! Normal farms they are just another building block but combining the iron farm and trading hall is amazing. It's so simple and somehow I've over looked it a dozen times. Great video!

Just wanted to add another big *thank you!!* for explaining the mechanics in detail!! I love getting an understanding of how stuff actually works! Comes in clutch when I inevitably mess up and need to figure out exactly what I broke. 😂

[alunmcmahon]

I love how you explain the game mechanics so well, it makes the builds easier when you know these details, and if it works as well as your raid farm I will be 1 very happy subscriber, thank you

[MrWuddles]

This is - by far - the best Iron Farm I've made. with 40+ villagers, it produces much better than the smaller (20 villager) farms that I've made/seen in the past. The trading hall is a nice bonus and I'm building a 2nd base around this feature. Thank you!

[iAmTinyBrain]

This is by far the easiest and most effective iron farm! It's explained very well, allowing you to make small adjustments where you see fit and the fact that it doubles as a trading hall is great.

[matthewcrowell]

Dude why do you explain it so damn well? I’ve been looking for this specific information for ever and on several topics and it’s always you who’s video has it!

[jamminjacs]

Awesome tutorial...the way you sorted the villagers with their work stations was so simple...yet GENIUS! Loved it and subscribed for more!

[lauraremi]

Thank you so much for explainning the logistics of the farm in the very begining! This was my first iron farm ever and this tutorial was super easy to follow!

[josephvaughn]

Thank you so much Prowl, you explained it so well, that because of you I know why my design doesn't work I put the beds one block too high and my collection area is nowhere near the size of yours. Yours is definitely a better option when it comes to both having a large number of villager traders and iron drops. Thanks man for explaining it so detailed. I just cannot say it enough you helped me get a much better understanding of the mechanics of the farm.

[jenniferhoffmann]

I just finished an iron farm in our family realm and wish I'd waited for this video. This is so much easier. Definitely how I'll be doing it in the future.

[Qvartz_Lite]

Here are some improvements I made for it (and some tips too for making it easier to build):

1- Replace the top hopper (the one that is just below of the slab holding the sign) with a campfire to deal with baby cats getting stuck down there and hogging the mob cap.

2- Instead of doing the 5:07 step at ground level, leave at least 5 blocks of clearance to build some storage and not have to dig a hole for it. For example, I started my farm at level Y:64, but to fit my storage, I built a 17 x 17 platform 10 blocks above the ground, centered with the rest of the farm, for the villagers to hang out, and fit the storage unit below, so the villagers are sitting at Y: 74 now, and the farm is above them.

3- Chunk aligned my farm. This is going to make sure the villagers don't despawn by accident in the chunk borders.

I aligned mine by putting the center block of the farm (The one Prowl marks with bricks at 5:31) in the northwest block of the center of the chunk. (Chunks have a 4 block center, pick the one that is northwest. Locator maps are very useful for this task)

4- Build above Y: 0

Even tho Prolw stated that it doesn't matter, one of my friends built it at Y: -58 and the farm isn't working at all. In fact, there's a lot of farms both in Java and Bedrock that are breaking at negative Y levels.


5- If you are going to do the Trading Hall, bring your villagers 1 by 1 and give them the jobs you want as you bring them. If you bring a bunch of them and then start assigning them jobs, there's a chance they are going to swap constantly and make things confusing.

6- Also, general Villager tip: Always trade with your villagers to lock them in the job you want them to have before leaving or placing more job-site blocks, that way there´s no posibilityof them losing the trades you want.

7- Move the job-site blocks with sticky pistons back and forth to reset the villagers' jobs until they offer the trades you want before trading with them, instead of breaking and replacing the job-site blocks, . It's quicker.

8- Do the kill chamber in creative first so you know how to place the signs and to see if you are letting the lava leak somewhere before doing it in survival.

9- Do Spawnproof the top area of the farm, either by lighting it up or using non spawnable blocks.

I've AFK'd this farm and found my sorters clogged by rotten flesh, gunpowder and bones.

10- If you are gonna test this in creative, make sure to enable the daylight cycle. Otherwise, the farm is not going to work.

Hope it helps, and massive tanks to Prowl for this bomb design!

Thank you! This is a great guide. I built this on the realm server I play on with my friends and it works great!

[Hugo_]

this was a good video not only did you help me build the iron farm but you kinda helped with the understanding of the villager mechanics i’ve built trading halls in the past with the trap the villager and place a work station in front of them which is a terrible method letting them trap themselves was genius looks like it completely eliminated the villagers deciding to unlink/ me just not knowing who’s actually linked to the block which leads to more problems bc they would almost never refresh their trades in the past

[michaeljackel]

Thank you for this. This is by far the best iron farm tutorial I have watched, and the first and only one I've gotten to work. And I still can't believe how easy it was. Keep up the premium content 👌 👏 👍

[colton]

You instantly became my favorite farm guide source because of the a) well thought out consideration of game mechanics, b) explanation of those mechanics and how we interact with them, and c) the effort you put in to test and troubleshoot these on our behalf. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work and I hit those buttons!

[scoobydo]

I just started playing. Ive watched several of you videos so I'm leaving comments to support the channel. Thanks for the good info.
