This is a really good idea that I haven't seen anywhere else. Combining the villagers needed for a breeder and for an iron farm seems like a simple idea, but I haven't seen it before. Also, the use of checkerboard patterns is a really nice thing that helps make it clear how many blocks are needed in each place.
One plausable issue that could occur is having too many Villagers in the holding chamber cause a laggy mess when you go to AFK / Build it in your base and I think thats the pro of having them separated. What you might be able to do is have the villages go into a 1 hole block instead of a 3x3 container that way villagers will also take entity cramming meaning you will only have 24 of them in there at a time, this also makes for easier (well less time) for zombifcation as they are already weakened
@speedmaster-77 YT hey I’m having an issue with this design that my villagers are always in constant fear and won’t sleep during the night causing no iron golem spawns
I've seen it done before and done it myself without knowing people done these type tutorials online lol. Just made sense in my head like his idea lol. Although there's also the option of creative mode switching if you're not bothered about the achievements and have cheats activated (meaning you can just /gamemode change anytime) and doesn't mean it spoils the fun which people say either...All depends on what makes you happy and content whilst playing imo!
I love how impulse uses different blocks in a grid pattern to make it visually convenient for us to see the dimensions, while others, except a few, use the same block everywhere.
Great design combining the classic farms, and you're great at giving commentary! The block by block building and the checker pattern make it really easy to follow along. Hope this is a sign of more tutorial videos in the future!
Hey Impulse great tutorial! Not just for the subject matter of the video. But the video itself was very well put together, explaining how the mechanics worked and going at a pace that was easy to keep up with, Providing a few options if folks want to include certain aspects of the design or not, Keeping the editing very tight with the jump cuts that get straight to the point (probably the most important part), building in a grid like fashion so we can see block by block what you're doing and being able to pause the video when needed, even going so far as to explain how to catch a zombie for those in survival and how to put it in the basket. You really made this video a treat to watch, and it's clear you made this tutorial with the audience in mind that would be watching it. I give this video and tutorial an A+. Well done, great job!
FYI for anyone trying this in a later version, the villagers cant breed when they are scared of the zombie so the solution i found was keeping up the extra layer around the zombie's head so that you can flip open the trap door when you want it in iron mode and flip it closed when you want it in breeder mode, cause the villagers will no longer have eye contact with the zombie so they will be able to breed.
Still working on 1.21 ! TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE: Not producing golems? Block the line of sight of the zombie at night, allowing the villagers to sleep briefly. Remove it and it should be fixed. Villagers must have slept in the last 20 mins to be able to spawn a golem. Another reason is 15:08. See the trapdoor? Remove it and replace it, will allow the zombie to re-lock into the villagers.
@disguisedcat744 Not really, that'd be the biggest... 🤔 I did install a small redstone contraption to reset the villager timer. You can check it on one of the videos I have ("spicy iron") and fast forward to see how it's built. But it's essentially a piston blocking the zombie every once in a while. It's worked flawlessly ever Can't really help more without seeing it, you can pm if you want (megapintLP in rddt) and I'll take a look!
my brain loves the super clear step by step instructions you give, right from the simplest things. a lot of tutorials just go for it super quickly leaving me confused as to what the heck is going on, so the detailed commentary is much appreciated!! this is a very excellent tutorial:))
I thought this was a great idea when you were building it in Hardcore. This is such a well done tutorial video. Well thought through, produced and executed!
@@impulseSV Hey! Great farm! I was trying to design an item sorter for it and a question occurred to me . . . do any of the excess carrots make their way into the water stream or do they all just stay on the beds until they despawn?
@@joetrapana9523 I added carrots to the item sorter so I can at least salvage those for trading etc. Far more despawn on the farmland when the breeder is turned off, though.
@@PSS-uw9zr If they despawn on the farmland, shouldn't a minecart with a hopper on a rail system be able to pick them up ? That would take quite a lot of space though
I built this in my world recently . . . actually converted over an older door-based breeder that wasn't being used anymore. There is an issue with sustaining iron production but it's fairly easy to solve. The villagers need to have slept in the last 20 minutes in order to spawn an iron golem but they won't sleep if being panicked by the zombie. I moved my zombie 1 block further back from the villagers and created a piston-controlled screen to block the villagers' view of the zombie. A daylight detector can be used to automatically extend the screen every night so the villagers can sleep. Don't invert the detector itself, just use a redstone torch as an inverter in the signal path between the detector and the piston. I also included a lever as an override to allow me to shut off iron production any time I want. "Or" the signal from the lever with the one from the detector (after inverting it). It's important to include a row of blocks above the piston/screen setup and cover these with track to prevent golems from spawning there. But keep the detector open to the sky! Other tweaks and enhancements: * Another piston-controlled screen to block the farmer's access to the villagers allows the breeder to be shut off at will. Use another lever to control this. * Reduce the length of the lava blade to one block and position over the 7th block of the water stream. A row of 3 blocks at the height of the golem's head in the 8th position will stop the golem there with his head in the lava. Since the water is very shallow there, babies are less likely to jump up into the lava and be killed. * More hoppers to prevent drops from escaping downstream. It was probably overkill but I used 18. * Put glass block rooves over the farm and the breeding villagers to prevent lightening strikes from witch-i-fying them. * As somebody else mentioned, put the composter in the center over the water block and cover it with another block to keep the farmer from jumping up on it. I'm not sure if this actually changes the function but the symmetry is nice. * Give the farmer a bed. This doesn't seem important until you're trying to do some some work in/around the farm and he keeps getting in the way. 😣 Now I just wait till he's sleeping.
@@Galactic1078_ I don't make videos - wouldn't know where to begin. But, I could probably create some screenshots that show the important stuff. Which part(s) did you need to see?
Built this and it works very well! i recommend putting a carpet on top of the trapdoor the zombie stands on to prevent baby villagers from spawning in there with it.
This is excellent. I saw this an decided to build it today on our server. Apart from trouble with zombie-wrangling (killed by Iron Golem, Phantoms interfering, burned by sunlight, Iron Golem killed player...) it went quite smooth, I only had to look at the tutorial two-, three times, and now it's up and running.
Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out why my villager breeder wasn't working. I double checked so many times that I did his tutorial correctly but couldn't get a baby villager to spawn until I found your comment! Thank you SO MUCH! ^_^
Just an FYI if people want to make it a little more efficient (at the small expense of convenience), have the drop lower (20 blocks below the villagers), so the Iron Golem is out of range and can spawn more golems faster :) Great design though, and glad to see you doing tutorials again ImpulseSV, it's been a while :)
This is what the gold standard for any tutorial for Minecraft should be. - Everything explained. - Checkerbord-Pattern to make it easy for everyone to see how many blocks are used. - Extra Tips for the difficult bits (like getting the Zombie in his holding cell). The only thing that could make this great tutorial absolutely perfect would be an example of getting those pesky Villagers in their holding cells ^^
Hey Impulse, awesome tutorial and great farm! I'm trying it out on Vault Hunters, and so far I've only had to make 3 minor changes (I'm new to minecraft, so may have just made mistakes in building): 1. I had to move the lava blade further along the tunnel, as baby villagers were bobbing into it. For me, the upper signs are directly below my stair blocks, and the lava blade's final part is above the hopper line. 2. I had to cover my farm with blocks so that golems weren't spawned in there! 3. The trap doors on the zombie side of the upper beds made a little platform I had a daredevil baby villager run across and jump from into the zombie's basket. Simply closing (making them vertical) those 2 trap doors has fixed this. Thanks again!
Impulse, this tutorial was SO well made! The material list, checkerboard blocks, explanation of mechanics, and general presentation were top notch! VILLAGERS NOT BREEDING? I ran into a snag where my villagers didn't want to breed until they got a good night sleep without being scared. If anyone else had this problem, just install a trapdoor that you can toggle off and on. Make sure you move your zombie platform 1 backwards, though! The babies sometimes make the jump and land on the trapdoor when its open.
I wish I could get even that far. My farmer villager won't farm. I don't have mobgriefing disabled, I know that breaks farmers, so that's not the issue. Natural village breeding in villages works, I have a village several thousand blocks away from the iron farm/breeder that has self-populated up to 30 villagers, so I know breeding works on my game. Just not in this breeder. The villager claimed the workbench and then wandered around for a while. He then stopped in the middle of the field and just stands there now. He will not harvest any crops. Just. Stands. There. And. Does. Nothing. Any ideas?
Good job on the commentary! It must be hard explaining everything in great detail when you already know how it works yourself. I also love the checkerboard patterns so we can easily count the amount of blocks. It's something many more tutorials should have!
I was looking for a simple villager breeder and this one is as simple as it gets. I didn't care about the iron farm portion at first but adding the functionality takes little to no extra effort. Great job impulse.
Amazing farm, I've followed your hardcore series where you perfectioned this farm. Something worth mentioning is that the villagers need some kind of protection from lighning, to avoid them being converted in witches (unlikely but not impossible, happened to me many times). I lighting rod nearby (if playing in 1.18) is more than enough to prevent that to happen
Been a while since the last impulse tutorial, glad to see you back in the designing game! great farm and love that its nice and cheap. small thing you could have done is put the composter in the centre of the farm because that keeps all the farmland in range of the composter (villagers only farm crops near a composter)
If you are building above ground you may also want to have a lighting rod or a roof over the farming area to avoid lightning striking the villager and converting them to a witch
I was actually searching for a villager breeder tutorial earlier today, so this is such perfect timing. Thanks for a fantastic design and an easy-to-follow tutorial, Impulse!
I built this on stream today and it was indeed super easy to build. Not includingresource gathering and actually moving the villagers into position (haven't done that yet), the actual building of it took under an hour, and that's while streaming, occasionally returning to my base for resources, and in survival mode.
Well done Impulse! I watched this design organically mature in your Hardcore series. It's great to see you follow up with a polished tutorial. BTW any chance SV has anything to do with Sailing?
I don't want to take anything away from Impulse, because this farm is quite innovative and relatively easy. However, if you just want an easy iron farm, I don't think it's possible to beat IanXOFour's day one iron farm. It's night and day simpler than this one and produces iron at the same rate.
@@Pest789 oh ok thanks i will sorry gnembon is allways my go to whenever it comes to farms edit: ive checked it out and its amazing wow such an innovative iron farm ive never seen one so early game thanks :)
@@yak4168 The bill of materials for it is literally a boat, three beds, a pickaxe, a shovel, a few trap doors, and a couple of torches. You don't even need a bucket or a hopper to get it going.
I was experiencing issues with the Farmer constantly standing at the composter. Seems like i fixed it by placing a solid block there. If anyone else is having the same issue. Great tutorial always a pleasure following your guides :D
Wow, your tutorials are really the best, going into survival for the important parts (so people don't just see "fill all these blocks with water" but actually "here's how you do it in survival with two buckets"). I also like the use of alternating blocks so it's easy for us to pause and count blocks. Very well done! I did have one question. I know that villagers have to be able to (albeit briefly) break their line of sight with the zombie so they can sleep, but I didn't see how that was accomplished. I mean, it obviously works because they sleep, I just didn't see how. Can you explain how that works?
I absolutely loved this video impulse....can't wait for next Hardcore Ep
2 роки тому+6
Impulse back to technical tutoriels ! that's great. A few suggestions if i may : - you can put the composter in the middle of the field, but don't forget to put a block on top to prevent the villager to jump on the crops. - you can remove the solid blocks under the beds - in order to reduce lag and increase babiy output, you can use a clock to only scare the villagers when they are ready to spawn a golem.
@@JanitorMortis a recent update introduced a mechanic allowing for baby villagers to bob in water. Because of this addition, many of the babies that the breeder produces will die in the lava trap for golems. Only a fraction of all the babies will make it through to the villager collection area. I didn’t spend any time fixing the design, instead I made a separate breeder and a separate iron farm.
If anybody else is having difficulty with the farm producing golems but no babies - I put a fence post infront of the zombie and one attached to that to the left (or right it really doesn't matter) just to semi block 2 of the beds from the zombies sight, now its working perfectly again =] I've built it before without a problem but this time the villagers were just permanently scared. The 2 fenceposts have fixed that for me =]
@@graysonfabrycki2750 Hey! Sorry I didn't see any of the replies (I'm actually here re-building it in 1.21 lol!) Basically I moved the zombie back 1 block from where Impulse has him and just shift clicked to place a temporary block on the trapdoor infront of the zombie then popped a fence post on top of it and removed the dirt :) Hope this helps!
Okay so I followed all the steps and works absolutely perfect. You make this tutorials so easy to follow! thanks for sharing this amazing farm and keep doing this great job!
I built this in my mulitplayer world with my friends and it worked like a charm! Great design Impulse. A few things that aren't working though: 1. The villagers aren't breeding. The farmer isn't passing any carrots to the villagers. 2. After I got about a stack and a half of iron they quit spawning iron golems. No more. The villagers are just huddled on the middle bed and nothing is happening anymore. They are no longer shaking at the zombie. Any one else have the same issue and know how to fix it?
i am having the first problem too, the farmer just farms carrots but he doesnt mind the villagers, he just looks at them and usually he just stands in a corner doing nothing, i have no idea how to fix this
@@tekaupapa4247 so after some experimenting i found out that you need to block the villagers' line of sight with the zombie to let them breed again. Kinda frustrating, but is does work for me. If you just put a solid block or trapdoor in front of the zombie, it should be fine.
I'm really amazed it hasn't always been done this way. So cool, I was so psyched when I saw it on the stream and I wanted to make it. Event though it's dead simple it's so hard to tell where to put all the trap doors from just glances, so thank you for making this video so well.
Main reason it's not done is because these are considered starter farms and people like to move on to larger megafarms. It's still a neat idea to combine space and honestly not bad for just a casual solo/duo world. I'll probably end up using it inside of my base thanks to how it saves space, but it will never output the kind of yield people really seem to want.
Good video dude but I think you could increase the golum rates to once every 30 seconds or so if you just let them drop down a few blocks further. They're still within range of the villagers while dying in the lava and it's preventing them from spawning another one
Not everything needs to be ultra efficient, this will produce more iron than the average player could ever need. A lot of the time, that's all you want from a simple farm.
@@zeronought I designed an Iron farm that produces 700 iron ingot per hour it uses 2 villager pods and one Zombie, and I have to admit 300 iron ingot per hour is enough for the average Minecraft player
Awesome farm Impulse, thanks! I just got done building this and as soon as that zombie dropped in place... blam golem... already up 2 stacks of iron just from the 15-20min I spent decorating the collection area...xD I haven't hooked up the villager output system yet but I know I'm gonna love this farm even more once I get my villager city(trading hall) constructed
To anyone else having the issue where some of the iron drops end up in the villager chamber. You can place some blocks next to the hoppers to stop it from falling. Then place a bed on the top most glass blocks on the opposite side. Finally place trap doors on the blocks next to the hopper so the baby villagers can track the bed and fall down to the chamber.
Awesome design. Works very well. Found out the hard way not to use wooden stairs on the collection water funnel. Only had oak and acacia to work with, got so caught up following the tutorial I shut off my brain. DUUUUUUH! lol Thanks Impulse!
This farm is awesome!! Thank you so much! Quick question, if we're building this underground is there anything we need to do different or things we need to be cautious of?
@@joshw7582 Were you able to get the iron golem spawning to work? I'm currently struggling with getting the villagers to all sleep/panic and I'm pretty sure I built it block for block.
I really have to thank you impulse. I was browsing yt for a villager breeder so that i could start my villager trading hall and have some villager to make an iron farm but you just made my job 10 times less. Instead of building a breeder and and iron farm separately you made it so easy to build them together. Thanks again and keep making amazing videos. Cant wait to see what youll do on hermitcraft
kinda works ish for me if I put an extra dirt right on the glass part it can see the villagers, the reason it dosen’t work very well is because it gets scared of the zombie, testing rn to see if it works better, so far i only got 1 villager
I'm taking it a step further by funneling it all into my trading hall and storage system! Thank you so so so much for your diligence and your detailed explanations. You have become my favorite Minecrafter!
I tried building this ini my 1.19 world but for some reason it isn't producing the baby villagers ever since I got my zombie in. Do you have any fixes for this?
Brooo this is like striking diamonds while looking for Gold. Thanks a lot for this. I always thought two of them once is a good idea but don't have the knowledge to make it work. Thank you again.
im having an issue where the villagers won’t breed when they are alerted by the zombie and are freaking out. Only iron golems spawn. but when i cover up the zombies sight they start to breeed
Having built this with the golem pool at ground level, it costed nearly nothing to make. I was have two issues, after two babies, the breeding stopped entirely, and after about two stacks or so of iron, I'd have toe fiddle with the trapdoors to reset the villagers. Trap door flipping did nothing for breeding. To fix the breeding issue, I simply lowered the spot where the villagers were deposited by 3 blocks. This pulls them out of vertical range of the beds and they lose claim. And then I opened the trapdoor under the glass, so it blocks view long enough for them to breed. For the golems, I found moving the monster (I used a pacified pillager) one block further aware and putting him in water so he bobbed did the trick. Water is placed on top of the trapdoor with trapdoor at same level as in the video. Double the height of the barrier trapdoors and place his roof one higher so he can pop up over the edge. _
So .... Iron farm is working fine for me, but the farmer won't farm. He claimed the workstation, but he just stands around and does nothing. He's not standing AT the workstation, rather just in the middle of the field. Carrots have fully grown, and he's not even attempting to farm them. It's not an issue with mob griefing as natural villager breeding in villages is working fine. It's just on this farm. He won't FARM even though he's a farmer. Any ideas anyone?
This is the most genius design seen!!!! Impulse can upgrade this farm further making it an fully automatic carrot of potato farm by adding another villager on the other side so that the farmer can toss carrots or potatoes to him also which can be collected
i started a world recently, and didn't really want to build anything too complicated. I wanted things that were simple and effective - and then you uploaded this! Brilliant, saved me a ton of time, wondering why you don't do more tutorials quite honestly. Thanks.
Hey Impulse, I'm having some trouble with the villager breeding part. The iron farm works fine, even better than I expected, but only one villager spawned right after I built it but afterwards they just stopped spawning. I'm using vanilla minecraft with vanillatweaks but none of them should interfere with the breeder. Do you by any chance have an idea why this is happening? (A zombie also made it into the villager part but I took care of that with some lighting around the edges and AFKed for 3 hours, still no villagers) edit: I'm playing on Hard mode on a server UPDATE: A single villager spawned after 4 hours, it seems a bit slow. I thought at first that it was because the farmer didn't actually provide them with food but they did, seeing as there are for some reason carrots in the golem collection chest. I might try to add another farmer to speed up the process, but for that I would need to find a way to stop the two farmers from breeding. I'm not sure if villagers have to be close to beds in order to claim them or just have eye contect with them. If they only need eye contact, then I would have to switch the glass blocks around to farm to solid blocks. I'll try this out in a creative world so I'll probably be back with another update later. If anyone is sure that they know the answer to this, it is of course very nice if you tell me the answer. UPDATE 2: After a small accident I learned that the farmer and new baby villager actually managed to claim the beds on the sides (the ones that are meant bait the baby villagers into falling down). I learned this because I accidently let my farmer escape and it died. I already had one villager in the collection chamber and only after the farmer died, a new villager spawned. After this, no more villagers spawned. Although... You would think that you would only be able to have 5 villagers at a time. I tried testing this by killing the villager that I had collected in the collection chamber. After that a baby villager managed to get into the little box the zombie was in. After this, no more villagers spawned. So I am stuck again. UPDATE 3 (more like a follow up note): What I now see is: - Villagers breed rarely. If they breed, they show the green particles a few times and then it takes either very long for them to breed (longer than 1 hour) or they do not breed at all. - The villagers are often running to the zombie, it might be nothing special but it is strange behaviour to me as they should run away from the zombie. - It might be a coincidence, as I changed the "unclaimed" beds on the side every time I gave them a ton of food, but they only seem to breed after I changed the beds. When linked to the observation above about the green particles after breeding, you can speculate that perhaps every time they breed, they claim all of the beds or the beds are reclaimed or something weird is going on with the bed claiming mechanic. - Even though the farm is completely in a desert biome, the baby villagers seem to be spawning with the Savanna reskin. I have two (2) Savanna villagers and one (1) Desert villager in the breeding chamber. This observation might be noteworthy to me due to my lack of knowledge about villager breeding and the impact of the parents' reskins on those of their kids. Some extra notes: I am playing on 1.18.1 Vanilla Server with Vanillatweaks datapacks and crafting tweaks. None of the ones we selected should be interfering with the farm but maybe some do so without me knowing about it.
I have the same issue. Farm is not running for an hour yet, but the villagers are not breeding. Update: after 2 in game days it also stopped producing golems. Update 2: Fixed both issues by letting the villagers sleep a night un interupted by blocking the zombie's line of sight
@@SonjaFoos To solve the problem I put the zombie in a water bubble column. He bobs up and down and breaks line of sight. This way the villagers can sleep and reset their sleep timer. Edit: Watch the video from Gnembom on villager mechanics, I got the setup from his video.
Try flipping down the trap door that is under the glass at 5:07. It helped for me. Villagers have time to breed behind it and if they go on the side beds it spawns golems. Hope it helped P.s. I also took out 2 blocks above both of the beds, so they have more space to run around.
the iron golems have just stopped spawning completely, everything is the exact same as the video but no golems have spawned, ive spawn proofed the entire area and they arent spawnign in the carrot area idk what the problem is
Something to keep in mind with villager breeding is that if you have mob griefing turned off, this will keep villagers from picking up crops; either dropped or harvesting.
My mob grief got is off, the villagers pick up what’s thrown to them but in this build they just ain’t willing and I can’t figure out why, I had them breeding no more then 100 blocks away in their village
@@lizardaquatics4986 As the previous poster said, villager breeding won't work with mob griefing off. If you want to keep enderman / creepers from griefing without killing villager breeding, you'll need to leave the gamerule to allow mob griefing, and use datapacks to turn off enderman/creeper griefing.
Awesome farm and tutorial. However on my server golems don't spawn. They used to before (I had the trapdoors placed differently but it still worked) and then all of a sudden they stopped spawning. What could be the problem? And another question: what about placing blocks on top of the farm? I want to cover it up in a building and placed a glass layer 9 blocks above the ground floor (where the golems should spawn) that should work fine right? And can I build walls on top of the glass or will that interfere with the farm? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me
@@olimiddleton3916 You might need to provide more info about how you built it. Personally, I use IanXOfour’s iron farm design and it works without fail, nonstop. The only time it stops working is when I go to the nether. All I do it block the line of sight to zombie and it resets.
Hey Impulse! Im having an issue with the iron farm not working, sometimes my villagers just don't sleep and that causes golems to not spawn. Also, some of my villagers keep dying and I'm not exactly sure why.
No the spawning mechanics are completely different , but you can check some bedrock creators they do have a combined villager trading hall and iron golem farm and it's really efficient
@@kunmeh I'm aware about the trading Hall and the iron farm, @silentwisperer made one and I have built it, I was just curious if I could make an iron farm and villager breeder
@@MrLinkinJason It would be possible but a bit trickier. Since you could not allow the baby villagers to stay. Because, in bedrock villager mechanics is a bit weird and the possibility of newly grown villagers snatching other workstations would be the big problem.
oh my goodness I made it. first time java player and usually play bedrock but awesome.. easy to follow and as always such a positive influence always makes my day with your streams and videos.. Keep up the good work.
This is a really good idea that I haven't seen anywhere else. Combining the villagers needed for a breeder and for an iron farm seems like a simple idea, but I haven't seen it before. Also, the use of checkerboard patterns is a really nice thing that helps make it clear how many blocks are needed in each place.
I agree 😌
It’s almost as if that was what Impulsev was going for when choosing that pattern of design.
One plausable issue that could occur is having too many Villagers in the holding chamber cause a laggy mess when you go to AFK / Build it in your base and I think thats the pro of having them separated. What you might be able to do is have the villages go into a 1 hole block instead of a 3x3 container that way villagers will also take entity cramming meaning you will only have 24 of them in there at a time, this also makes for easier (well less time) for zombifcation as they are already weakened

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
Not producing golems?
Block the line of sight of the zombie at night, allowing the villagers to sleep briefly. Remove it and it should be fixed. Villagers must have slept in the last 20 mins to be able to spawn a golem.
Another reason is 15:08. See the trapdoor? Remove it and replace it, will allow the zombie to re-lock into the villagers.
Replace it with what

I did install a small redstone contraption to reset the villager timer. You can check it on one of the videos I have ("spicy iron") and fast forward to see how it's built.
But it's essentially a piston blocking the zombie every once in a while. It's worked flawlessly ever
Can't really help more without seeing it, you can pm if you want (megapintLP in rddt) and I'll take a look!
You’re a legend, tysm
I still use your item sorter and now you have blessed us with this thank you impulse for making things easy for us
my brain loves the super clear step by step instructions you give, right from the simplest things. a lot of tutorials just go for it super quickly leaving me confused as to what the heck is going on, so the detailed commentary is much appreciated!! this is a very excellent tutorial:))
This is the 1st tutorial of Impulse that I watched, after subbing to him at the start of HC8.
I thought this was a great idea when you were building it in Hardcore. This is such a well done tutorial video. Well thought through, produced and executed!
Thanks! 💛
@@impulseSV Hey! Great farm! I was trying to design an item sorter for it and a question occurred to me . . . do any of the excess carrots make their way into the water stream or do they all just stay on the beds until they despawn?
Sometimes some carrots end up in the water.
@@joetrapana9523 I added carrots to the item sorter so I can at least salvage those for trading etc. Far more despawn on the farmland when the breeder is turned off, though.
@@PSS-uw9zr If they despawn on the farmland, shouldn't a minecart with a hopper on a rail system be able to pick them up ? That would take quite a lot of space though
I built this in my world recently . . . actually converted over an older door-based breeder that wasn't being used anymore. There is an issue with sustaining iron production but it's fairly easy to solve. The villagers need to have slept in the last 20 minutes in order to spawn an iron golem but they won't sleep if being panicked by the zombie. I moved my zombie 1 block further back from the villagers and created a piston-controlled screen to block the villagers' view of the zombie. A daylight detector can be used to automatically extend the screen every night so the villagers can sleep. Don't invert the detector itself, just use a redstone torch as an inverter in the signal path between the detector and the piston. I also included a lever as an override to allow me to shut off iron production any time I want. "Or" the signal from the lever with the one from the detector (after inverting it). It's important to include a row of blocks above the piston/screen setup and cover these with track to prevent golems from spawning there. But keep the detector open to the sky!
Other tweaks and enhancements:
* Another piston-controlled screen to block the farmer's access to the villagers allows the breeder to be shut off at will. Use another lever to control this.
* Reduce the length of the lava blade to one block and position over the 7th block of the water stream. A row of 3 blocks at the height of the golem's head in the 8th position will stop the golem there with his head in the lava. Since the water is very shallow there, babies are less likely to jump up into the lava and be killed.
* More hoppers to prevent drops from escaping downstream. It was probably overkill but I used 18.
* Put glass block rooves over the farm and the breeding villagers to prevent lightening strikes from witch-i-fying them.
* As somebody else mentioned, put the composter in the center over the water block and cover it with another block to keep the farmer from jumping up on it. I'm not sure if this actually changes the function but the symmetry is nice.
* Give the farmer a bed. This doesn't seem important until you're trying to do some some work in/around the farm and he keeps getting in the way. 😣 Now I just wait till he's sleeping.
pin this!
Great comment!
omg this will be so useful thank you
Can u make a video of this? I need this very much cuz it looks like it will fix all my problems, but i don't understand what to do by reading
@@Galactic1078_ I don't make videos - wouldn't know where to begin. But, I could probably create some screenshots that show the important stuff. Which part(s) did you need to see?
Built this and it works very well! i recommend putting a carpet on top of the trapdoor the zombie stands on to prevent baby villagers from spawning in there with it.
This is excellent. I saw this an decided to build it today on our server. Apart from trouble with zombie-wrangling (killed by Iron Golem, Phantoms interfering, burned by sunlight, Iron Golem killed player...) it went quite smooth, I only had to look at the tutorial two-, three times, and now it's up and running.
Great tutorial as always Impulse!!! I love this design, works wonderfully
Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out why my villager breeder wasn't working. I double checked so many times that I did his tutorial correctly but couldn't get a baby villager to spawn until I found your comment! Thank you SO MUCH! ^_^
Wait which blocks? the slabs?
@@Forxa1260 blocks over the beds that are near the farming area
Just an FYI if people want to make it a little more efficient (at the small expense of convenience), have the drop lower (20 blocks below the villagers), so the Iron Golem is out of range and can spawn more golems faster :) Great design though, and glad to see you doing tutorials again ImpulseSV, it's been a while :)
The checkered design and options really make it easy to get exactly what I need. Great tutorial
This is what the gold standard for any tutorial for Minecraft should be.
- Everything explained.
- Checkerbord-Pattern to make it easy for everyone to see how many blocks are used.
- Extra Tips for the difficult bits (like getting the Zombie in his holding cell).
The only thing that could make this great tutorial absolutely perfect would be an example of getting those pesky Villagers in their holding cells ^^
Very good tutorial, built my very first breeder and iron farm with this and its working as intended. Thank you!
Glad to know it still works
Hey Impulse, awesome tutorial and great farm!
I'm trying it out on Vault Hunters, and so far I've only had to make 3 minor changes (I'm new to minecraft, so may have just made mistakes in building):
1. I had to move the lava blade further along the tunnel, as baby villagers were bobbing into it. For me, the upper signs are directly below my stair blocks, and the lava blade's final part is above the hopper line.
2. I had to cover my farm with blocks so that golems weren't spawned in there!
3. The trap doors on the zombie side of the upper beds made a little platform I had a daredevil baby villager run across and jump from into the zombie's basket. Simply closing (making them vertical) those 2 trap doors has fixed this.
Thanks again!
welp
underrated reply, this completely fixed my farm.
i had to do the same xD
Impulse, this tutorial was SO well made! The material list, checkerboard blocks, explanation of mechanics, and general presentation were top notch!
VILLAGERS NOT BREEDING?
I ran into a snag where my villagers didn't want to breed until they got a good night sleep without being scared. If anyone else had this problem, just install a trapdoor that you can toggle off and on. Make sure you move your zombie platform 1 backwards, though! The babies sometimes make the jump and land on the trapdoor when its open.
I am having this same issue
I wish I could get even that far. My farmer villager won't farm. I don't have mobgriefing disabled, I know that breaks farmers, so that's not the issue. Natural village breeding in villages works, I have a village several thousand blocks away from the iron farm/breeder that has self-populated up to 30 villagers, so I know breeding works on my game. Just not in this breeder. The villager claimed the workbench and then wandered around for a while. He then stopped in the middle of the field and just stands there now. He will not harvest any crops. Just. Stands. There. And. Does. Nothing. Any ideas?
Good job on the commentary! It must be hard explaining everything in great detail when you already know how it works yourself. I also love the checkerboard patterns so we can easily count the amount of blocks. It's something many more tutorials should have!
I was looking for a simple villager breeder and this one is as simple as it gets. I didn't care about the iron farm portion at first but adding the functionality takes little to no extra effort. Great job impulse.
Amazing farm, I've followed your hardcore series where you perfectioned this farm. Something worth mentioning is that the villagers need some kind of protection from lighning, to avoid them being converted in witches (unlikely but not impossible, happened to me many times). I lighting rod nearby (if playing in 1.18) is more than enough to prevent that to happen
it happened to me after a few days running ... had to kill them and replace all the villagers
You took the best part of Mumbo's old tutorials and improved on them. Well done, impulse. Well done.
I'm always impressed with how clean, easy to understand, and overall high quality impulse's tutorials are
Absolutely perfect timing, I was just checking your channel to see if you had any early-game 1.18 villager farms!
Thanks for finally combining these together. I also really appreciate the grid pattern for the blocks used.
saw this on stream. just here for the view XD good job impulse!
Really thorough and simple to follow. I'm not great at farms but this was easy to accomplish: thanks for the tutorial!
i built this on my singleplayer world and love it Impulse, thank you for sharing the build, great farm
Been a while since the last impulse tutorial, glad to see you back in the designing game! great farm and love that its nice and cheap. small thing you could have done is put the composter in the centre of the farm because that keeps all the farmland in range of the composter (villagers only farm crops near a composter)
Farmers look for farmland to tend to within a 19x19x3 (where 3 is the Y axis) centered around themselves, which is exactly this square.
Yes, yes, yes, Yes! Impulse is the Man! 2002 - 2022 and Beyond! This is an extremely good idea!
If you are building above ground you may also want to have a lighting rod or a roof over the farming area to avoid lightning striking the villager and converting them to a witch
good idea, also for those of us making this out of wood lol
I made a glass roof for mine.
I was actually searching for a villager breeder tutorial earlier today, so this is such perfect timing. Thanks for a fantastic design and an easy-to-follow tutorial, Impulse!
I built this on stream today and it was indeed super easy to build. Not includingresource gathering and actually moving the villagers into position (haven't done that yet), the actual building of it took under an hour, and that's while streaming, occasionally returning to my base for resources, and in survival mode.
How can I bring in the villager without minecartz
@@aliceleiper5584
Well done Impulse! I watched this design organically mature in your Hardcore series. It's great to see you follow up with a polished tutorial.
BTW any chance SV has anything to do with Sailing?

Great idea, saw On stream. Mostly just commenting hoping it gets you trending ☺️
I think this is the easiest and most accessible iron farm I've ever seen, I actually feel like I could make it
I don't want to take anything away from Impulse, because this farm is quite innovative and relatively easy. However, if you just want an easy iron farm, I don't think it's possible to beat IanXOFour's day one iron farm. It's night and day simpler than this one and produces iron at the same rate.
@@Pest789 or gnembons fun farms iron farm i built the same one as mumbo and it is AMAZING relatively easy and i burn iron blocks for fun.
@@yak4168 It sounds like you haven't actually seen ianxofour's day one iron farm. You should watch the video.
@@Pest789 oh ok thanks i will sorry gnembon is allways my go to whenever it comes to farms
edit: ive checked it out and its amazing wow such an innovative iron farm ive never seen one so early game
thanks :)
@@yak4168 The bill of materials for it is literally a boat, three beds, a pickaxe, a shovel, a few trap doors, and a couple of torches. You don't even need a bucket or a hopper to get it going.
Very high quality video. It is clear Impulse put a lot of effort into this video!
This seems to work fine in 1.19. I did have a bit of a struggle getting the villagers to claim beds. Breaking and replacing the 2 outer beds helped.
I built this on a 1.20.1 server and both the iron and breeding mechanics work. Thanks :)
I was experiencing issues with the Farmer constantly standing at the composter. Seems like i fixed it by placing a solid block there. If anyone else is having the same issue.
Great tutorial always a pleasure following your guides :D
there is a glass block on top of the composter
great tutorial impulse, btw, luv how ur hardcore's goin!
Wow, your tutorials are really the best, going into survival for the important parts (so people don't just see "fill all these blocks with water" but actually "here's how you do it in survival with two buckets"). I also like the use of alternating blocks so it's easy for us to pause and count blocks. Very well done!
I did have one question. I know that villagers have to be able to (albeit briefly) break their line of sight with the zombie so they can sleep, but I didn't see how that was accomplished. I mean, it obviously works because they sleep, I just didn't see how. Can you explain how that works?
i really love how simple this is and how i dont need two separate spaces for two farms :DD
Great to see a legit tutorial from you folks! I can't partake because: Bedrock... BUT it does give me ideas to use every time. Thanks, Impulse!
I absolutely loved this video impulse....can't wait for next Hardcore Ep
Impulse back to technical tutoriels ! that's great.
A few suggestions if i may :
- you can put the composter in the middle of the field, but don't forget to put a block on top to prevent the villager to jump on the crops.
- you can remove the solid blocks under the beds
- in order to reduce lag and increase babiy output, you can use a clock to only scare the villagers when they are ready to spawn a golem.
how would one use a clock?
@@tejas8417 you hide the zombie head with a trapdoor or inside a glass block moved by a sticky piston.
Scaring villagers is for spawning golems.
Another great design from the amazing brain of Professor DimpleDop! ;) I will be using it in my world.
For anyone building the walls of the crop farm out of solid blocks instead of glass, you need to slab the walls so they are non spawnable for golems.
Does the design still work? Made one awhile back, didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong?
@@JanitorMortis a recent update introduced a mechanic allowing for baby villagers to bob in water. Because of this addition, many of the babies that the breeder produces will die in the lava trap for golems. Only a fraction of all the babies will make it through to the villager collection area. I didn’t spend any time fixing the design, instead I made a separate breeder and a separate iron farm.
I finally just did it today and loving how easy to understand this was ✨ thank you Impulse!
If anybody else is having difficulty with the farm producing golems but no babies - I put a fence post infront of the zombie and one attached to that to the left (or right it really doesn't matter) just to semi block 2 of the beds from the zombies sight, now its working perfectly again =] I've built it before without a problem but this time the villagers were just permanently scared. The 2 fenceposts have fixed that for me =]
thx
@@joostwaege391 No worries glad it's helped someone else :D

Hey I'm sorry but I am having this problem may you please explain the instructions in a but more detail, I'm stupid. Thanks!
@@graysonfabrycki2750 Hey! Sorry I didn't see any of the replies (I'm actually here re-building it in 1.21 lol!) Basically I moved the zombie back 1 block from where Impulse has him and just shift clicked to place a temporary block on the trapdoor infront of the zombie then popped a fence post on top of it and removed the dirt :)
Hope this helps!
Okay so I followed all the steps and works absolutely perfect. You make this tutorials so easy to follow! thanks for sharing this amazing farm and keep doing this great job!
I built this in my mulitplayer world with my friends and it worked like a charm! Great design Impulse.
A few things that aren't working though:
1. The villagers aren't breeding. The farmer isn't passing any carrots to the villagers.
2. After I got about a stack and a half of iron they quit spawning iron golems. No more. The villagers are just huddled on the middle bed and nothing is happening anymore. They are no longer shaking at the zombie.
Any one else have the same issue and know how to fix it?
i am having the first problem too, the farmer just farms carrots but he doesnt mind the villagers, he just looks at them and usually he just stands in a corner doing nothing, i have no idea how to fix this
I’m having this same issue. I don’t know how to fix the breeder!
I’m having the exact same issue as the second one
Same, Iron golems are comming but no babies
@@tekaupapa4247 so after some experimenting i found out that you need to block the villagers' line of sight with the zombie to let them breed again. Kinda frustrating, but is does work for me. If you just put a solid block or trapdoor in front of the zombie, it should be fine.
I'm really amazed it hasn't always been done this way. So cool, I was so psyched when I saw it on the stream and I wanted to make it. Event though it's dead simple it's so hard to tell where to put all the trap doors from just glances, so thank you for making this video so well.
Main reason it's not done is because these are considered starter farms and people like to move on to larger megafarms. It's still a neat idea to combine space and honestly not bad for just a casual solo/duo world. I'll probably end up using it inside of my base thanks to how it saves space, but it will never output the kind of yield people really seem to want.
Good video dude but I think you could increase the golum rates to once every 30 seconds or so if you just let them drop down a few blocks further. They're still within range of the villagers while dying in the lava and it's preventing them from spawning another one
Not everything needs to be ultra efficient, this will produce more iron than the average player could ever need. A lot of the time, that's all you want from a simple farm.
@@zeronought I designed an Iron farm that produces 700 iron ingot per hour it uses 2 villager pods and one Zombie, and I have to admit 300 iron ingot per hour is enough for the average Minecraft player
Awesome farm Impulse, thanks!
I just got done building this and as soon as that zombie dropped in place... blam golem... already up 2 stacks of iron just from the 15-20min I spent decorating the collection area...xD I haven't hooked up the villager output system yet but I know I'm gonna love this farm even more once I get my villager city(trading hall) constructed
To anyone else having the issue where some of the iron drops end up in the villager chamber. You can place some blocks next to the hoppers to stop it from falling. Then place a bed on the top most glass blocks on the opposite side. Finally place trap doors on the blocks next to the hopper so the baby villagers can track the bed and fall down to the chamber.
or just some hoppers in the villager chamber to chatch those
Awesome design. Works very well. Found out the hard way not to use wooden stairs on the collection water funnel. Only had oak and acacia to work with, got so caught up following the tutorial I shut off my brain. DUUUUUUH! lol Thanks Impulse!
It still working in 1.20.4 btw
Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot bro
TY i asume that that also meant that it works in 1.20.6
If you dont see any edits it means it works
Perfect timing, @impulsesv! Just joined a new smp server this week and wanted to build both of these farms within the next days!
This farm is awesome!! Thank you so much!
Quick question, if we're building this underground is there anything we need to do different or things we need to be cautious of?
I built it underground and could not get the breeding to work. I had to remove blocks over the extra beds. So make sure to do that.
@@Murwell Thank you for this note. I was having the same problem and this solved it for me!
Did the iron golem farm work? Mine is underground also.
@@joshw7582 Were you able to get the iron golem spawning to work? I'm currently struggling with getting the villagers to all sleep/panic and I'm pretty sure I built it block for block.
@@Drummondtheman yes I mines all the blocks above the area above the farm and it worked. Just had to wait a little
I’ve just built this and it’s so effective! First iron farm or villager breeder I’ve ever made and I’m really impressed, thank you impulse!
Is your breeder working properly? Mine stopped producing villagers after 6
peta approves
I really have to thank you impulse. I was browsing yt for a villager breeder so that i could start my villager trading hall and have some villager to make an iron farm but you just made my job 10 times less. Instead of building a breeder and and iron farm separately you made it so easy to build them together. Thanks again and keep making amazing videos. Cant wait to see what youll do on hermitcraft
does this work in 1.18.2? haven't seen a baby since i put the zombie in. love the video as always
The farm breaks at night, not sure why. I cant find a solution anywhere. If anyone knows please respond to this comment.
@@SitDownSon06 have you found a solution (same problem)
@@sold8215 I tore it down and made minefab’s portal farm. Lol
kinda works ish for me if I put an extra dirt right on the glass part it can see the villagers, the reason it dosen’t work very well is because it gets scared of the zombie, testing rn to see if it works better, so far i only got 1 villager
I'm taking it a step further by funneling it all into my trading hall and storage system! Thank you so so so much for your diligence and your detailed explanations. You have become my favorite Minecrafter!
@impulseSV im finding troubles with this farm the bredder system works only the iron farm doesnt work, i have no clue were it went wrong
This farm is so simple yet so smart, I love it, great video Impulse. 😄
I don't know why, but it doesn't work for me
Had anyone similar problems?
I'm suprised I've never seen something like this before. Very smart impulse!
I tried building this ini my 1.19 world but for some reason it isn't producing the baby villagers ever since I got my zombie in. Do you have any fixes for this?
Same here, the farmer doesn't seem to be providing them any carrots. Did you ever find a fix?
@@TheJediBendu if you have mob griefing set to false then the farmer wont pick up carrots and therefore breed
Brooo this is like striking diamonds while looking for Gold. Thanks a lot for this. I always thought two of them once is a good idea but don't have the knowledge to make it work. Thank you again.
im having an issue where the villagers won’t breed when they are alerted by the zombie and are freaking out. Only iron golems spawn. but when i cover up the zombies sight they start to breeed
I got the same problem and coildnt fix it
I had to manually open/close the trapdoor under the glass. But they still breed just very less frequent.
Been a fan since I started watching Hermitcraft, but this is my first venture into Java (from bedrock). Great tutorial! ImpressSV.
Having built this with the golem pool at ground level, it costed nearly nothing to make.
I was have two issues, after two babies, the breeding stopped entirely, and after about two stacks or so of iron, I'd have toe fiddle with the trapdoors to reset the villagers. Trap door flipping did nothing for breeding.
To fix the breeding issue, I simply lowered the spot where the villagers were deposited by 3 blocks. This pulls them out of vertical range of the beds and they lose claim. And then I opened the trapdoor under the glass, so it blocks view long enough for them to breed.
For the golems, I found moving the monster (I used a pacified pillager) one block further aware and putting him in water so he bobbed did the trick. Water is placed on top of the trapdoor with trapdoor at same level as in the video. Double the height of the barrier trapdoors and place his roof one higher so he can pop up over the edge.

Best design ever! Couldn’t even finish the design before I got a baby villager
So .... Iron farm is working fine for me, but the farmer won't farm. He claimed the workstation, but he just stands around and does nothing. He's not standing AT the workstation, rather just in the middle of the field. Carrots have fully grown, and he's not even attempting to farm them. It's not an issue with mob griefing as natural villager breeding in villages is working fine. It's just on this farm. He won't FARM even though he's a farmer. Any ideas anyone?
This is the most genius design seen!!!! Impulse can upgrade this farm further making it an fully automatic carrot of potato farm by adding another villager on the other side so that the farmer can toss carrots or potatoes to him also which can be collected
Anyone else having a problem were the villagers don’t get scared
No
i started a world recently, and didn't really want to build anything too complicated. I wanted things that were simple and effective - and then you uploaded this! Brilliant, saved me a ton of time, wondering why you don't do more tutorials quite honestly. Thanks.
Hey Impulse, I'm having some trouble with the villager breeding part. The iron farm works fine, even better than I expected, but only one villager spawned right after I built it but afterwards they just stopped spawning. I'm using vanilla minecraft with vanillatweaks but none of them should interfere with the breeder. Do you by any chance have an idea why this is happening?
(A zombie also made it into the villager part but I took care of that with some lighting around the edges and AFKed for 3 hours, still no villagers)
edit: I'm playing on Hard mode on a server
UPDATE:
A single villager spawned after 4 hours, it seems a bit slow. I thought at first that it was because the farmer didn't actually provide them with food but they did, seeing as there are for some reason carrots in the golem collection chest. I might try to add another farmer to speed up the process, but for that I would need to find a way to stop the two farmers from breeding. I'm not sure if villagers have to be close to beds in order to claim them or just have eye contect with them. If they only need eye contact, then I would have to switch the glass blocks around to farm to solid blocks. I'll try this out in a creative world so I'll probably be back with another update later. If anyone is sure that they know the answer to this, it is of course very nice if you tell me the answer.
UPDATE 2:
After a small accident I learned that the farmer and new baby villager actually managed to claim the beds on the sides (the ones that are meant bait the baby villagers into falling down). I learned this because I accidently let my farmer escape and it died. I already had one villager in the collection chamber and only after the farmer died, a new villager spawned. After this, no more villagers spawned. Although... You would think that you would only be able to have 5 villagers at a time. I tried testing this by killing the villager that I had collected in the collection chamber. After that a baby villager managed to get into the little box the zombie was in. After this, no more villagers spawned. So I am stuck again.
UPDATE 3 (more like a follow up note):
What I now see is:
- Villagers breed rarely. If they breed, they show the green particles a few times and then it takes either very long for them to breed (longer than 1 hour) or they do not breed at all.
- The villagers are often running to the zombie, it might be nothing special but it is strange behaviour to me as they should run away from the zombie.
- It might be a coincidence, as I changed the "unclaimed" beds on the side every time I gave them a ton of food, but they only seem to breed after I changed the beds. When linked to the observation
above about the green particles after breeding, you can speculate that perhaps every time they breed, they claim all of the beds or the beds are reclaimed or something weird is going on with the
bed claiming mechanic.
- Even though the farm is completely in a desert biome, the baby villagers seem to be spawning with the Savanna reskin. I have two (2) Savanna villagers and one (1) Desert villager in the breeding
chamber. This observation might be noteworthy to me due to my lack of knowledge about villager breeding and the impact of the parents' reskins on those of their kids.
Some extra notes: I am playing on 1.18.1 Vanilla Server with Vanillatweaks datapacks and crafting tweaks. None of the ones we selected should be interfering with the farm but maybe some do so without me knowing about it.
I have the same issue. Farm is not running for an hour yet, but the villagers are not breeding.
Update: after 2 in game days it also stopped producing golems.
Update 2: Fixed both issues by letting the villagers sleep a night un interupted by blocking the zombie's line of sight
@@victorelfring I have had the exact issues. I'll block the line of sight and let them sleep and see if that corrects the problem. Thank you!
@@SonjaFoos To solve the problem I put the zombie in a water bubble column. He bobs up and down and breaks line of sight. This way the villagers can sleep and reset their sleep timer.
Edit:
Watch the video from Gnembom on villager mechanics, I got the setup from his video.
Try flipping down the trap door that is under the glass at 5:07. It helped for me. Villagers have time to breed behind it and if they go on the side beds it spawns golems. Hope it helped P.s. I also took out 2 blocks above both of the beds, so they have more space to run around.
@@BucItisRC Flipping down the trapdoor did the trick for me, thanks!
This farm is so simple, resource efficient and well explained. Good job! Gonna build this myself
the iron golems have just stopped spawning completely, everything is the exact same as the video but no golems have spawned, ive spawn proofed the entire area and they arent spawnign in the carrot area idk what the problem is
check if villagers are getting scared of zombie
Looking good Impulse! Catching up on HC8 now, looking forward to it!
Something to keep in mind with villager breeding is that if you have mob griefing turned off, this will keep villagers from picking up crops; either dropped or harvesting.
My mob grief got is off, the villagers pick up what’s thrown to them but in this build they just ain’t willing and I can’t figure out why, I had them breeding no more then 100 blocks away in their village
@@lizardaquatics4986 As the previous poster said, villager breeding won't work with mob griefing off.
If you want to keep enderman / creepers from griefing without killing villager breeding, you'll need to leave the gamerule to allow mob griefing, and use datapacks to turn off enderman/creeper griefing.
Fantastic! I'd love more of these types of tutorials. Farms can be hard, but you made it super easy!
Awesome farm and tutorial. However on my server golems don't spawn. They used to before (I had the trapdoors placed differently but it still worked) and then all of a sudden they stopped spawning. What could be the problem? And another question: what about placing blocks on top of the farm? I want to cover it up in a building and placed a glass layer 9 blocks above the ground floor (where the golems should spawn) that should work fine right? And can I build walls on top of the glass or will that interfere with the farm? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me
Hard to say with that description. There might be an iron golem already spawned in a cave somewhere.
Did you ever end up fixing this I’m facing the same issue with no other golems in the area
@@olimiddleton3916 You might need to provide more info about how you built it. Personally, I use IanXOfour’s iron farm design and it works without fail, nonstop. The only time it stops working is when I go to the nether. All I do it block the line of sight to zombie and it resets.
That's pretty genius actually. Also, thanks for using the checkerboard pattern in your building blocks
I followed the tutorial exactly, but my villagers are escaping from the gap under the glass block with the trap door underneath it. How do I fix it?
a bonus video! yay!
that's great! I'm gonna build on in my world!
its like a mini treat from your hardcore series! I love it! xD
Hey Impulse!
Im having an issue with the iron farm not working, sometimes my villagers just don't sleep and that causes golems to not spawn. Also, some of my villagers keep dying and I'm not exactly sure why.
Are you playing on bedrock?
I just had a similar issues and fixed it by flipping down the trap door on the bottom of the glass block. Seems fine so far.
@@Tridundancy No, I play on Java, wouldn’t have tried it if I were on Bedrock. Also, I figured out the issue.
@@ianmerritt3995 what was the issue
@@olimiddleton3916 the villagers kept committing suicide and the golems wouldn’t spawn bc of it
Fantastic Build Impulse! Gonna have to give this a try. Love that there is dual use of it.
Does this work on bedrock edition??
No.
No the spawning mechanics are completely different , but you can check some bedrock creators they do have a combined villager trading hall and iron golem farm and it's really efficient
@@kunmeh I'm aware about the trading Hall and the iron farm, @silentwisperer made one and I have built it, I was just curious if I could make an iron farm and villager breeder
@@MrLinkinJason It would be possible but a bit trickier. Since you could not allow the baby villagers to stay. Because, in bedrock villager mechanics is a bit weird and the possibility of newly grown villagers snatching other workstations would be the big problem.
@@MrLinkinJason As long as the baby villager is moved at least 100 blocks away from the original bed and it links to a new one it will work 👍
Even tho this only work for Java im always supporting Impulse,I Love You Impulse ❤️
How far down shold the farm be if it is buld undergrownd?
Just checked it's around 10 blocks down if you want to replace the floor of the farm and have glass on the top.
@@3ddragon719 dos it need to have acses to the sky to work?
@@zoey_everdeen5628 I don't think so but I'm not sure. it shouldn't but it might be good to check first
that's a neat design. if you now somehow manage to intercept some of the crops you have a 3in1 farm. will have to tinker with that.
