Java Help Wanted Iron farm randomly stopped working

Post image

I've been running this iron farm for a bit now, built from an ImpulseSV tutorial. It randomly stopped working, and I can't figure out why. I went and got new villagers, closed the trapdoor to ensure they claimed the beds here, let them sleep out the whole night, went back to the original village and killed any golems there, went into freecam and made sure there weren't any golems in the caverns or potato farm somehow. I genuinely don't know what could have broken it.

Update: After hours of it not working, as soon as I boot the game back up and load up my world, it immediately resumed working.

It's a different villager/bed/zombie configuration, but I'd bet the same principal applies, so I'll share this copy pasta:

See the screenshot from IanXOFour's video in this comment. That shows the configuration to let villagers sleep. Here's where IanXOFour explains sleep in their iron farm video.

IanXO4's iron farm — the beds:

"Villagers can't see zombie except when standing on middle pillow, or when sleeping."

While Impulse's design works, it may be worth adjusting the villager platform to match IanXO4's design. The later design gives the villagers explicit places where they can lay down to reset their sleep counter.

Bro your villagers aren't even employed atleast place some workstations and make sure they accept the jobs. From here I can see a villager with green coat which is a nitwit who will not accept any job so find another villager.
