How to Build a Reliable Iron Farm

Core Requirements

You need villagers, beds, workstations, and a threat trigger for panic behavior depending on design. Stable linking is more important than visual complexity.

Best Placement

Build away from other villages and random beds/workstations so villager AI does not split links.

Collection and Storage

Use water channels to move drops into hoppers and a central chest array. Add overflow handling for long AFK sessions.

Troubleshooting

If rates are low, check villager sleep/work cycle, line-of-sight panic state, and spawnable block control around the farm.
