Does this iron farm work in Minecraft 1.21.5 Spring to Life Update?

Yes, this iron farm design works perfectly in the Minecraft 1.21.5 Spring to Life Update. The villager mechanics and iron golem spawning conditions remain unchanged in this update, so the farm continues to produce approximately 330+ iron ingots per hour.

How many iron ingots per hour does this farm produce?

This iron farm design produces approximately 330+ iron ingots per hour in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.5. The exact rate may vary slightly depending on your game settings and world conditions.

Does this iron farm work in Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

This specific design is optimized for Java Edition. For Bedrock Edition, you'll need to make several modifications, including using at least 10 villagers instead of 3, and creating a larger spawning platform. See the "Java vs. Bedrock Differences" section for details.

How far away should I build my iron farm from my base?

You can build this iron farm close to your base for convenience, but ensure it's at least 80 blocks away from any other village or villager-based farm to prevent interference. Also, make sure the farm chunks stay loaded when you're using it.

Why do I need a zombie for this iron farm?

In Java Edition, villagers that are scared by zombies will gossip more frequently, which significantly increases iron golem spawn rates. Without a zombie, the farm will still work but at a much lower efficiency, producing far fewer than 330 iron per hour.

Can I stack multiple of these iron farms vertically?

Yes, you can stack multiple of these iron farms vertically to multiply your iron production. Just ensure there's enough vertical space between each farm (at least 20 blocks) and that each farm has its own separate villager pod and zombie.

Are there any new features in 1.21.5 that affect this iron farm?

The Spring to Life Update (1.21.5) doesn't introduce any changes that affect iron golem spawning mechanics or villager behavior. This means the farm design remains efficient and reliable. You can even incorporate some of the new decorative elements from the update to make your farm look more aesthetically pleasing.
