Hey there! I hope you enjoy my first aesthetic farm that can contain both a Java farm and a Bedrock farm. Let me know what you think of the design and the tutorial in the comments below!

ESSENTIAL IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BEDROCK PLAYERS: Iron golems in Bedrock spawn within a 17×13×17 volume, ±8 blocks horizontal and ±6 blocks vertical from the village's center block, which can be a bed pillow or a bell. That means that when you build the roof of the villager chamber, you are already at 4 blocks above the beds a.k.a. the centre of your village. You DON'T want to build the layer of slabs on top of the villager chamber roof. You want to just build 1 more layer on top (the 5th block vertical from the village centre) which will be the central channel leading up to the pit (three blocks wide down the middle) and one more layer on top of that which will be the spawning platforms for the iron golems (the 6th block vertical from the village centre). The farm should work then, but it's 1 block lower than the Java version. This may mean that it looks slightly off compared to the video... Apologies for not getting that right in the first place.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: You may have noticed that I didn't do anything about the interior. This is because Iron Golems may spawn on any full blocks you build close to the villager room. This is especially the case for Bedrock players. Iron Golems always try to spawn on the highest available solid block in Java, which makes it less frequent to spawn iron golems below the villager room. Be careful when you build an interior, because it might break your farm. You could for example, dig out a few blocks and make the killing tower a bit longer. You then have a bit more room to work with and you can for example create a living room, storage room and an automatic composter (for all the poppies!).

So many youtubers make farms and leave them looking out of place in their worlds, you have found a good niche i think
combining function and aesthetics, making them not look like farms at all!

[KwpR]

if you REALLY want more Iron than you'd ever need, you can also build a chunk loader in there (very small and simple to build, you just need like 3 blocks, 2 minecarts, a minecart with hopper, an activator rail, a dropper and a nether portal), that will load this chunk even when you're away and generate iron all the time.

It turned out great in bedrock. Made it in brick for a factory look. Thank you for taking the time to make bedrock tutorials too.

[Trkdelight]

Im going to make this easy i hope, this is for bedrock payers.

If your golems stopped spawning in try this.

1. Kill your villagers
2. Destroy the fletching table and stone bricks or whatever blocks you used to build a wall around the villagers.
3. Ontop of the glass put New beds again same position as video instructed, and then glass again
4. Put the fletching tables back and build up from there till your villagers are trapped and cant escape.
5. Go under and destroy old beds, glass and dirt.

So basically we moved everything up one level and tried to moved to villagers closer to the roof. I dont know why or how it works but for 3 hours i played with it and now my golems spawn very quickly.

I hope this works for you who have issues with it and wish you all the best of luck.

And Nuvola thanks a lot for a beautiful design ❤ its absolutely gorgeous to look at from afar

In java, if you don't want to deal with zombies, you can put 5 villagers with beds in the villager chamber (they don't need jobs) and it will work. The rate of iron golum spawning will be lower than if a zombie is there, but it's a good way to get the farm started.

[junebucket]

This farm is very efficient once the water mechanics and golem spawn at the top gets arranged. Thank you Nuvola for such a nice Iron Farm Build :) Tip: for those not getting the 30-50 sec rates, in my situation, the villager room was too big and I found the villagers standing around even tho I made the changes to the room setup walls/trap doors that Nuvola's edit showed. So to fix the standing around, I traded w/ each villager once, removed the workstations replacing w/ stone blocks, and blocked the 2 open corners adding 2 blocks and 2 blocks tall. Now they are Scared and NOT standing around! They sleep and run, YAY! Golems abound!

For some reason, I have never been able to make a working iron farm on bedrock. No design I have ever used has worked except for this one. Thanks for the tutorial!

[yummymummy]

I built this yesterday in Bedrock.
I noticed a few people say to build the walls 17 blocks high.
Do not do this! The farm will stop spawning golems (and cats).

Instead you need to do this. Dont add slabs to the top of the villager pen, the roof of the pen will be the middle water channel. You can build the side water channels directly on top the villager pen.

This keeps the build 15 blocks high, and the golems can spawn.

I tested both, 17 blocks high and I afked for an hour. 0 drops.
15 blocks high and built directly on top of the villager pen, I get 2 golems roughly every 30 seconds (almost as soon as both golems are dead another 2 spawn)

Otherwise great build! Its hard to fit farms into aesthetic builds so I'm glad I found you.

You have got to be the greatest, most underrated YouTuber I’ve ever seen! All the builds are so beautiful along with them being so useful! :3

[mtpockets]

I built this farm in hardcore a short while ago, and aesthetically it looks great, but functionally I found golems regularly getting stuck before dropping into the main channel of water. I solved this by squaring the internal platform edges and having the flow of water going straight. Works a treat now. Great build!!

[spritemanplus]

Dude I’m on bedrock, I found you by your mud farm and I love your aesthetic! I found this farm and decided to give it a try, it looks amazing! At first it didn’t work but I did some investigating and I had like 25 villagers and saw some comments saying you have to have less than 20 so I killed off 10 now I have 15 villagers, now it works great. I also tried trapping villagers in 1x1 tiles in the same area because I saw a comment that said that would work. Idk if that had any impact but mine are still in a 1x1 lol
A lot of recent comments are pissed 😂 you’re doing great man bedrocks messed up you earned a sub man!

[SirRaunaldi]

So on Bedrock edition there is an extra layer of glass above the beds which raises everything up by 2 blocks. If you go back to the 5:47 timestamp, it doesn't look the same as the video. So for bedrock to look the same, you have to build 17 blocks high, not 15. Also, not sure if this is common Minecraft knowledge, but if you build this in an area you already have villagers, you will have to make this your village center for the golems to spawn correctly.

I love the castle iron farm. I just built it in my bedrock realm and works like a charm. Thought I’d share since the updates have been messing with the iron farms. ❤ Ty for the tutorial ❤

[mikequantum]

This is the most stunning iron farm I have ever seen. I took a look to your other videos and I have to say that all of them are pieces of art. I love your buildings. And I hope you and your channel get the recognition you deserve. Of course I subscribed and looking foward for your next videos. Beautiful work.

[Wildtink]

How I got this to work on Bedrock. I kept the height the same and did not add the roof slabs as others have mentioned. The beds I left on the bottom of the villagers. The big change was to put each villager in a 1x1 pod so they could not move. I then water logged the villagers, up to their waist. This kept them from unlinking from their beds. I had to then go through one by one to see who linked to what work station and place that work station by them so they could access it. Now it works great!

[MarkMYoung]

This build works great in Bedrock. I built it as demonstrated without any issue. Afterward, I added an interior with lower half slabs and stairs for aesthetic details and prevent spawning. I spent 3 hours building the exterior but only 20 minutes on the interior and 20 minutes inserting the villagers.

[laurenmansfield]

Omg you're amazing! I've been waiting so long for some aesthetic farms, I'm so tired of hiding everything underground! Lol. This iron farm is beautiful, and I can't wait to make it. Thanks for doing the bedrock version too, us bedrock players get forgotten a lot!

[krisjacobsen]

Been watching all of your videos since I discovered your channel. I subscribed immediately and I look forward to future videos. They are all absolutely amazing, keep it up!

[mattbuk]

This is awesome. I had already built the JC Playz bedrock Iron Farm and managed to find a way to build your castle around it. Although, it is a lot larger now but has the same aesthetic vibe. Love it!
