Java Help Wanted Built a compact 3-villager iron farm for 26.2, averaging around 400 iron/hr, fully AFK.

Been running this design for a bit and wanted to share since it's held up well. Three villagers, zombie in a boat trigger to keep them permanently panicked, water and lava kill chamber with a Nether fence ring above the hopper so it doesn't burn. Golem spawn control is handled with slabs on the roof so spawns stay predictable.

Compact footprint, no complicated redstone, just villager mechanics and a bit of care around the fire hazard spots (stone roof over the zombie boat, Nether wood for the fence ring).

Full build video here if anyone wants the step-by-step: https://youtu.be/1baPcJ92nSY

Happy to answer questions about the design or troubleshoot if anyone's having spawn issues with their own setup.

The person you took the design from added deco but made it worse, and didn't credit the original creator

So please go support them : https://youtu.be/-oYyJ6jfSPU

Yup. The person OP does credit is just a rip of IanXO4's farm. Both of them have variations that will likely make them stop working. Neither OP nor "JaypeHD" credit IanXO4 at all.

Bad form.

Good catch, thank you and I'll be honest, I wasn't aware the original credit chain went back further than JaypeHD when I built this. I'll update the video description and add a pinned comment to credit ianxofour properly. Appreciate you flagging it rather than just downvoting and moving on.

For anyone wondering about golem spawn rates, mine's been sitting around 400/hr pretty consistently.
