Iron as a resource is often the gatekeeper of automation in Minecraft. It is used to craft rails, minecarts, hoppers, and many other vital components of farm automation. This means that access to an abundance of easy iron could make or break any future farming endeavors.
There is a way to get iron outside of farming it, and that is by killing iron golems. This is a system that players can use to create AFK iron farms. It takes advantage of villagers summoning iron golems when panicked to summon the golems in a kill box to collect the iron they drop.
Building an iron farm in Minecraft Bedrock 1.18
Find a location
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Players will want to pick a location that is at least a hundred blocks away from a <a href=)
village. This is due to villages interfering with iron golem spawning from the villagers in the farm. Due to how general this requirement is, it is an easy one to meet.
Deserts, planes, or any other flat, mostly empty biome, is perfect for the location of this farm as players will want to keep elevation differences to a minimum.
Build the platform
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Players should place a double <a href=)
chest as part of the outside walls, with a hopper on the bottom of the box facing into them. They must then set up a water source block in the corner opposite the hopper to push the drops into the hopper and then into the chests. Players should later place nine signs above the water to keep any liquids from flowing down and ruining the farm’s collection method.

<p>Players should then place a single <a href=)
lava source block on top of the middle sign. This will cause the lava to flow out and cover all the signs but not fall and ruin the water below. This lava will be what kills the iron golems.
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Players should then create small floating capsules along the back wall of the farm. This will be on the same side of the farm as the 12-block-long water source. These capsules will each hold five <a href=)
villagers to have the farm count as a village in the game.
The capsules should be created with a one-block empty gap between where villagers stand and the farm itself. There should also be a glass block that allows villagers to see into the farm, but other than that, the design of the capsule matters very little. Do this four times, with three blocks separating where the villagers stand.
Create the bed stand
</figcaption></figure>
<p>The platform made earlier can hold 20 <a href=)
beds, one for each villager. They should be placed in a certain order, notated in the image. Once all beds are placed, and each has green particles emitted after placing, showing that a villager has claimed it, break the platform on which the beds were placed. Then crouch and place leaves over the top of all the beds. This will stop iron golems from spawning on the beds.
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Place a work station of any kind on the wall of leaves near the capsules and see which villager it assigns to. Then go to the capsule and break one of the blocks next to the villager and place that work station there.</p>
