I’m designing a Villager trading hall meant to host about 100-140 Villagers. How far would I need to locate my breeder and/or iron farm from messing with each other?

    I’m going to assume Java because I don’t know anything about Bedrock but more information should be available there: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Iron_Golem#Spawning

    The rules to keep in mind are that:

    • a golem has to be more than 16 blocks away from any villager in every direction as fast as possible
    • the panicking villagers (ones that can see a Zombie) will attempt to spawn in “a 17×13×17 box centered on the villager”

    The breeder can be anywhere, you just want the breeding villagers to not be panicking and to be the only ones that can pathfind to beds (so in an entirely enclosed area)

    The iron farm can also technically be any distance away as long as you remove any undesirable spawning spaces but it’ll be easier to have it 16 blocks away from other villagers and moving golems away from the entire setup

      Whoops, I always assume that the MC community revolves around us Java players. Edited with a Java tag!

      Thanks for the info. I also read in a couple of other posts about keeping these things some 100 or so blocks away (horizontally/vertically) from each other. Wasn’t sure how up to date that info was because it wasn’t cited as often. Do you know anything about that?

        I think it’s more an extra precautious thing than actual use, if you don’t even have 2 farms at the same time they definitely won’t interact with each other haha

        Another aspect is lag prevention though
        It could be useful to have things that far away if you plan on keeping your iron farm constantly loaded because the 100+ villagers can get heavy on the server

      Thanks, I like the compactness of the design. Seems like people are able to make it work as of 1.21.8. Though because I frequently sleep to keep the sun up to build, maybe two separate farms would be better in my case.

        I haven’t had issues with iron supply and i don’t like nights. My base is fairly small right now so it’s constantly loaded and producing.
