welcome to a new era, i'm super excited about this series & sharing it with you!! if you have any topic requests or things i should add into the episodes drop em here!! the next episode might be on a wild update thing 👀👀
This is just the kind of content I’ve been looking for! I want to get better at the technical/farming side of Minecraft, but I really don’t want to just follow tutorials - I want to learn the mechanics and then make my own farms based on those. This series will be invaluable to Minecrafters everywhere, thanks Wattles!
Be nice to see some collabs with your bedrock buddies during these to bring light to the differences between the editions. Would greatly help the millions of people that can only play on console or mobile.
Future video ideas for farms: test to see which ones work at the Word Spawn Area. Meaning that this chuck is always running so if you are not in the chuck it will it stays loaded and running away. The only item I found so far that stops is plant life.
I love this idea I was out of minecraft for a couple years after the combat update and recently got back into it and focusing on automation on more casual servers so can't wait for more videos!
@deborahgiron6127 I build a 3x3 of hoppers and add a chest. Glass blocks over the chest will allow you to see in it and open the chest. Signs and lava for the kill. A few blocks up I then surround the tube I made with 20 villager beds with the pillows as close to the tube as possible (actually really important). Make sure each villager links with a bed. I then wall off the beds so they can't sleep and leave them with access to their workstations. I make them all fletchers and trade sticks with them one time to lock them to their stations. Make sure the villager room in only 2 blocks tall or your golem might end up there! You will get a spawn attempt for every 10 properly linked villagers. I add a second layer of beds/villagers/workstations for a possible 4 golems at once. It puts up numbers. Large square on top to water funnel the golem into the tube. I like to waterlog stairs around the outside edge. When placing the water avoid the corner blocks and the ones on either side of it. So left, center, right of every corner will have the stairs empty. Then place your final buckets onto the floor of the corner block, not the stairs. This will prevent it from creating standing water in the corners. Lastly place bottom half slabs on the waterlogged stairs and anything under the structure. Keep in mind that I believe glass and leaves will not prevents spawns anymore. I know lower slabs for sure though. Hopefully you found one you like before now, but just in case, this is the one I build on bedrock. If you build it over water you get squid and fish that spawn in your funnel water lol. And if you use campfires over the hoppers instead of signs and lava, you will get cooked fish, bones, and ink sacs, as well as string from the cats in addition to your iron and poppies.
You seem pretty smart! Can i ask, why exactly do the pillows need a certain direction? Ive built a bedrock farm that spawned me 28 iron and now ive got nothing. Trying to see if i can fix what ive done, but i may need to understand the mechanics better first.
I used to not really play minecraft that much but I kept coming on yt to answer on a couple of questions I had and your videos would come up. Then I struggled with some farms and whenever I would find the tutorial that ACTUALLY worked, it was always yours. So I subbed and now I'm playing minecraft waaaaay too much hahahaha glad we're covering my favourite topic as #1!! LOVE your videos so much. They really inspire me to play more and enjoy myself.
I would love if you brought up bedrock versions of the things you discuss here and tell people how those work, because currently, it's hard to find any good info about any but the most common farms :(
@@wattlesplays or in future videos, just mention at the end the differences between bedrock and Java that would make the farms useable. You wouldn't have to make a whole extra video that way.
I love this series. Most of the people who knows me would always come for advice about minecraft, since I've been playing it for a long time. But due to some circumstances, I am least aware to newer versions and newer tips and tricks. This will help me keep up to date and have some refreshers. Those people won't stop asking me for advices and I don't mind, but it would be the best on helping players (newbies especially) with up to date contents :D
This video seems to have been uploaded a year prior to my comment. Good video. The red and glass markers and simplified language (not technogeek) were very helpful. I realize I must now build my farm in the sky...and, more importantly, why! Thanks, Wattles. One of like 1000 questions finally answered.
I called it on the post the other day. I knew he wasn’t joining Hermitcraft. Would love to see him as a Hermit though. The amount of people that were yelling at me was amazing haha. I’m excited for this series great first video.
Iron farms are fun. I built one with four pods per level that was twelve levels tall. It uses trap doors to hide the zombies and they open ever 42 seconds. I use a hopper clock to control the trap doors. It works pretty good.
"Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."
Awesome vid, I was looking the specific spawning requirement and mechanics. You sir told me everything I need to know to design my own iron golem farm. Thx!
I like this as a series concept. Could be quite interesting. I also like how you mentioned the big con, that having iron on tap changes your game play experience. Going out and exploring for things is a key part of Minecraft and I suspect running out of resources near spawn is a good driver for a lot of players to actually go out and explore their world. Having said that, I do really do appreciate the study of game mechanics and the puzzle that trying to bend those mechanics to your will creates.
Single player, I don't quite get it either. Maybe if you need a lot of iron for blocks in a big build or selling to villagers. Still looks fun to do. Who doesn't love screaming at villagers for a hour or so trying to get them in position? I know I do!
Comments: You can also make an iron farm without using a hostile mob. You just need 5 villagers instead. Also, killing iron golems in a pre-existing village is also a farm since the villagers will spawn another iron golem soon. Additional note: You should place the lava on the head area (three block high) since the drops could burn in the lava if the lava is too near. The problem I have with the iron farm design (2:23) is when they go up the bed, there are times that they won't just move. There were times that my iron farm didn't work because all of them were standing on their beds and not seeing the zombie. Irregardless; I love your video. :)
First off thanks for the video wattles I think it's a great idea to explain game mechanics through farms to help people design their own. This is a perfect idea for a video series. I usually only watch your survival series but this is going to be one that I won't miss an episode. Only thing I could add to this one is maybe show some possible ideas on how to automatically kill the golem and chest the items. Not that I don't know how. It's just relevant to making an iron farm. And maybe someone would have to watch an additional video/tutorial to figure that out.
good morning good morning wattles, its you my boy and i am welcome to this new series. and a new era, the everything series. it is truly a big occasion
Love this series idea. Would be cool though if you could throw in a little bit of bedrock knowledge for a build like this. I'm curious why the "wattles" design wouldn't work on bedrock, what's the complication? Thanks for always providing top-tier elite content W.
I think it is because the golem spawning mechanics are different on bedrock edition. On Java edition, golems can spawn frequently, making this farm efficient and worthwhile and compact. I think Bedrock rules for spawning are: 10 villagers, 20 bed, a bell, villagers have to claim a bed, sleep, and work at a workstation. But there may be more rules for golem spawning.
I remember I built a version of your iron farm on a modded faction war SMP based around the Vampirism mod, but underground and with no kill chamber thus turning it into an infinite golem spawner, that I then used leads and later a modded tool called a “mob capturing tool” to distribute those golems throughout my empire and thus made all my villages practically unraidable just from sheer numbers of golems. A problem I later intensified by building modifying mob farms into vampire spawners (I was a vampire).
Feedback and suggestions: Really like this idea for a series! I like to know not just how to build something the way a TH-camr is telling me to do it, but why things have to be that way. (Auto-sorters and comparators are a good example - okay, I'm building it like you said, but... why does it work?). I don't think you need to necessarily get into the "alternate" forms of iron farm that include "just mine some iron". Different builds for an iron golem killing machine, yes. But I don't think anyone seriously considers going underground to find iron to be "iron farming". The name "farm" in Minecraft generally carries the expectation of some automation. I assume you're also not just going to do farms, but interesting mechanics, hacks, and shortcuts. Looking forward to more episodes!
Bedrock Iron Farm Mechanics: -20+ beds (optimum is 40) -10+ villagers w/ jobs (optimum is 30) -75% of villagers must have worked in the last Minecraft day -fast-ish kill mechanism (lava blades are common) -Spawn proofing outside the iron farm and/or placing the iron farm in the air For tutorials I recommend silentwhisper
I loved this video and think this series is epic! Would love to see a video on witches and farms for them and how to get them to drop different potions and stuff
Nice story! you getting better and better. the story your voice. I can imagine the scenes. It reminds me, but I will tell you on discord. also I was working on my little melodie. doing so was a curing process. I will watch the other I missed a lot the last days.
stony peaks + fortune 3 is my fave way to get iron. still haven’t built an iron farm ever, mostly cuz i still get excited every time i see iron out in the world and i don’t wanna ruin that lol
Nice video sir. One recommendation is that you add a link in the videos or the video descriptions back to any how to videos you have done on a farm or a build. I know it's tedious but it will help some folks and cut down on certain comments you will get other wise.
Hey Wattles! I really love your videos, and I'd totally love to see an updated pillager raid farm! We're being to build one for our hardcore Minecraft world to get totems
I have a little addition to this topic. The villagers can detect a spawned Iron Golem up to 20 blocks away. Gnembon mentioned that in his video and I've tested it out.
Great idea! I love it! :D I don't have an Iron Farm, if I need Iron, I go mining and in 1.18, I get more than enough. For perspective, I'm setting up an auto sorter in my base and I went mining twice only. I've got A LOT of iron. So, I don't know if I'm wiling to set up an Iron Farm.
I built your iron farm in a previous world, but I usually do ianxofour's iron farm nowadays. It's ridiculously simple, maybe not the most efficient in iron output but definitely pretty efficient in build complexity / time
welcome to a new era, i'm super excited about this series & sharing it with you!! if you have any topic requests or things i should add into the episodes drop em here!!
the next episode might be on a wild update thing 👀👀
you should just do a video where you make a garden and an animal farm.
Red stone basics, moderate, advanced, easy three episodes
you could talk about how world generation works.
Ancient cities?
How about how to make a beetroot farm.....
New wattles era is the best era 🤝
Farzy u the best 🥺
@@wattlesplays you and Farze are such good friends. love it!
The tastiest one
Hey nick
Farzy's hardcore era is also best
I think a part two with multiple farms shown would be nice, would also love to have u teach us redstone
i can absolutely do both of those!!
@@wattlesplays awesome!
I think all the redstone builds I've done so far have been from wattles tutorials--it'd be nice to learn how the stuff actually works
Wattles, your videos are so good that even us Bedrockers watch without hesitation. Bravo.
This is just the kind of content I’ve been looking for! I want to get better at the technical/farming side of Minecraft, but I really don’t want to just follow tutorials - I want to learn the mechanics and then make my own farms based on those. This series will be invaluable to Minecrafters everywhere, thanks Wattles!
thank ya!!
Be nice to see some collabs with your bedrock buddies during these to bring light to the differences between the editions. Would greatly help the millions of people that can only play on console or mobile.

Wattles is back with another killer video, as always.
I love this idea I was out of minecraft for a couple years after the combat update and recently got back into it and focusing on automation on more casual servers so can't wait for more videos!
Thanks Wattles I can already tell this series will be amazing!! You’ve always had great content and I can’t wait to see more of this series
thankya 🥺
I remember building your iron farm design few years ago and not realizing i play on bedrock😭
Ahh... good'Ol Noob days.
Did you find a bedrock design you like?
@deborahgiron6127 I build a 3x3 of hoppers and add a chest. Glass blocks over the chest will allow you to see in it and open the chest. Signs and lava for the kill. A few blocks up I then surround the tube I made with 20 villager beds with the pillows as close to the tube as possible (actually really important). Make sure each villager links with a bed. I then wall off the beds so they can't sleep and leave them with access to their workstations. I make them all fletchers and trade sticks with them one time to lock them to their stations. Make sure the villager room in only 2 blocks tall or your golem might end up there! You will get a spawn attempt for every 10 properly linked villagers. I add a second layer of beds/villagers/workstations for a possible 4 golems at once. It puts up numbers. Large square on top to water funnel the golem into the tube. I like to waterlog stairs around the outside edge. When placing the water avoid the corner blocks and the ones on either side of it. So left, center, right of every corner will have the stairs empty. Then place your final buckets onto the floor of the corner block, not the stairs. This will prevent it from creating standing water in the corners. Lastly place bottom half slabs on the waterlogged stairs and anything under the structure. Keep in mind that I believe glass and leaves will not prevents spawns anymore. I know lower slabs for sure though. Hopefully you found one you like before now, but just in case, this is the one I build on bedrock. If you build it over water you get squid and fish that spawn in your funnel water lol. And if you use campfires over the hoppers instead of signs and lava, you will get cooked fish, bones, and ink sacs, as well as string from the cats in addition to your iron and poppies.
You seem pretty smart! Can i ask, why exactly do the pillows need a certain direction? Ive built a bedrock farm that spawned me 28 iron and now ive got nothing. Trying to see if i can fix what ive done, but i may need to understand the mechanics better first.

U could also use piglin bartering as an "iron farm"
If you make a piglin barter hall and connect it with a pigman gold farm you can get infinite iron as well.
I would love if you brought up bedrock versions of the things you discuss here and tell people how those work, because currently, it's hard to find any good info about any but the most common farms :(
Agree!
JCplayz has all the farms you need
gonna be an interesting series. glad to see where this goes
I thought it was going to be a let’s play but this is cool too. Can’t wait for the next episode thing
This is an amazing idea for a series! Could you do an episode explaining mob grinders and other efficient ways to get mob loots?
This is an awesome series! However, could you also do an explanation for Bedrock Edition?
Absolutely thinking about a dedicated video for Bedrock!
Yes please
@@wattlesplays Awesome! Excited to watch it!
@@wattlesplays thanks! Please do this
@@wattlesplays or in future videos, just mention at the end the differences between bedrock and Java that would make the farms useable. You wouldn't have to make a whole extra video that way.
This was awesome! Can't wait for more videos!
im not here for the info, i'm here for you. although love the indepth coverage and looking forward to MOAR!
The everything series
No pressure then
This will be a start of something legendary!!!
New Series yA'll!!!

Piglin bartering is also technically a potential iron farm...
P.S. I used your iron golem farm design in my most recent world.
Heck yeah new series let's go wattles!!
I'm finally in at the beginning of a series! Yay! One thing I would like to see is how to farm slimes.
This video seems to have been uploaded a year prior to my comment. Good video. The red and glass markers and simplified language (not technogeek) were very helpful. I realize I must now build my farm in the sky...and, more importantly, why! Thanks, Wattles. One of like 1000 questions finally answered.
a new era is always well a new era but it always have some stuff that makes you attached in watching it
The new series :D can't wait to implement your expertise in my world lord wattles
Yoooo... Your Era is the best Era....
I called it on the post the other day. I knew he wasn’t joining Hermitcraft. Would love to see him as a Hermit though. The amount of people that were yelling at me was amazing haha. I’m excited for this series great first video.
I definitely needed this
Iron farms are fun. I built one with four pods per level that was twelve levels tall. It uses trap doors to hide the zombies and they open ever 42 seconds. I use a hopper clock to control the trap doors. It works pretty good.
Can’t wait to see more. I have been wanting content like this for a while
Hey wattles! I just wanted to say you make the best content ever. Always keeps me entertained! Keep up the good work
Have you never heard of Etho's Lab
Literally been planning on how to build one of these all week. This REALLY helped
alredy my favorite series (almost)
Wattles is single handedly spurring the renaissance of minecraft yt fr
"Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."
Arr but how do you know she is a witch?
Wattles Era of Saturday! This is fun!
Everything series? Loving the concept! Keep it wattling
About to build my first iron farm and watched 3 of your videos lol, I needed to know how much space for the build to work. Got it!
Awesome vid, I was looking the specific spawning requirement and mechanics. You sir told me everything I need to know to design my own iron golem farm. Thx!

Nice video! Explanation done well. Technically you can also do an iron farm without panicking the villagers.
I’ve never made an iron farm and in my experience I’ve never needed one either but this is still cool

Irregardless; I love your video. :)
I like this idea. You do everything the hard way. So learning all the redstone and mob mechanics will add a lot to your channel.
Thank you wattles for this amazing video!
But please make bedrock edition everything ep.
Just made this farm for the second time. Thank you for this OP simple farm.
Can’t wait to see what this series turns into, keep it up Wattles!!!
Heck yeah I'm glad you made this playlist
I'd love it if you could go over bedrock too!
Cool! Glad to see videos for us old fogies!

Now this is what I wanted
A series explaining everything in minecraft. Yes sounds good and can't wait for more of these episodes. Keep it up! 😁😎😄
Cool this is the best minecraft youtuber. TH-cam should recommend his videos to everyone for the educational content
Golem good! Also love your new 1.18 series!

You brought back the intro 🔥
Golem Good!! 🖤 Can’t wait to see more of these videos!
Yes new era
can confirm, when i first built your design in my mom's 1.16 survival server i haven't been able to *not* make it in every single world/server since.
Thank you for this Iron Farm info! "golem good"
Thank you, you taught me how to design my own iron farm and how it works🙏
can't wait for next episode!
this series is a great idea minecraft's great but the some of the technical stuff stumps me so thanks
I love this vid cus im trying to make a iron farm design and this helped soooo much
I look forward to the next episode of the everything series
Bedrock Iron Farm Mechanics:
-20+ beds (optimum is 40)
-10+ villagers w/ jobs (optimum is 30)
-75% of villagers must have worked in the last Minecraft day
-fast-ish kill mechanism (lava blades are common)
-Spawn proofing outside the iron farm and/or placing the iron farm in the air
For tutorials I recommend silentwhisper
Good to know these things as I'm thinking of making my own one in my spawn chunks so it's always loaded.
I loved this video and think this series is epic! Would love to see a video on witches and farms for them and how to get them to drop different potions and stuff
Nice story! you getting better and better. the story your voice. I can imagine the scenes. It reminds me, but I will tell you on discord. also I was working on my little melodie. doing so was a curing process. I will watch the other I missed a lot the last days.
Appreciate you, wattles.
This is a really cool new series
Let's go I'm here from day one!
stony peaks + fortune 3 is my fave way to get iron. still haven’t built an iron farm ever, mostly cuz i still get excited every time i see iron out in the world and i don’t wanna ruin that lol
Nice video sir. One recommendation is that you add a link in the videos or the video descriptions back to any how to videos you have done on a farm or a build. I know it's tedious but it will help some folks and cut down on certain comments you will get other wise.
Love the concept! You always manage to impress. 😘👌
Hey Wattles! I really love your videos, and I'd totally love to see an updated pillager raid farm!
We're being to build one for our hardcore Minecraft world to get totems
This was really helpful, thank you
I have a little addition to this topic. The villagers can detect a spawned Iron Golem up to 20 blocks away. Gnembon mentioned that in his video and I've tested it out.
DUDE! I just started playing Minecraft and I feel like this series might help me on my journey. Thanks man!
You should watch Wattle's main series too. You can learn a lot from it, even though it is not a tutorial specific series.
could we see an episode on farming food? pros and cons of different food sources, and different ways to get them
Best Iron Farm I have ever built!
Great idea! I love it! :D
I don't have an Iron Farm, if I need Iron, I go mining and in 1.18, I get more than enough. For perspective, I'm setting up an auto sorter in my base and I went mining twice only. I've got A LOT of iron. So, I don't know if I'm wiling to set up an Iron Farm.
For episode 2 you should make it about xp farming!
Can you do an episode on bedrock and java red stone
You should definitely do a redstone guide. Maybe even pull in some guests to help you explain things too depending on the topic of the video.
Drowned farm next? I need a trident and I’m too lazy to spend an hour on the wiki figuring out spawn mechanics
Props to Tangotek for a HUGE revolution into collecting iron.
Would love to see more Bedrock/consoles content.
I know that’s not really your focus but hey 🤷♂️
Did this take inspiration from Cubey? Seems to be similar but this is a lot more technical and in depth.
New era, same wattles.
I built your iron farm in a previous world, but I usually do ianxofour's iron farm nowadays. It's ridiculously simple, maybe not the most efficient in iron output but definitely pretty efficient in build complexity / time
