Note: These amounts are an estimate for a small farm. Collect more materials as needed if you want to make a bigger farm. Another Note: This farm technique will only work for the Java Edition of Minecraft. The Bedrock version requires 10 villagers and different iron golem spawning conditions. 250 solid, non-flammable blocks 130 walls 10 stairs 12 signs 11 water buckets 1 lava bucket 3 beds 3 torches 9 hoppers 2 chests 2 workstations (any workstation will work) 1 trap door (optional, helps with trapping the zombie) 1 name tag (optional, prevents zombie from despawning)

The floor of your farm should be at least 12 blocks up from the ground. Building it lower may cause iron golems to spawn on the ground. Making the stairway 2 blocks wide makes it easier to guide the villagers and zombie up.

Make the floor of the zombie’s room with 1 block. Make 4 walls 3 blocks high, 1 block up from the floor. Place water on the floor to prevent the zombie from burning during the day.

The villager rooms should have three blocks of flooring arranged in a 3 by 1 configuration. Make the walls for each room 3 blocks high. Place a torch in each room to prevent zombies from spawning in the rooms.

Make sure the name tag has been renamed using an anvil. Otherwise, it will have no effect on the zombie After naming the zombie, you can close the trap door.

Place one workstation near a villager so they walk toward it. Place a second workstation closer to your farm. Break the first workstation so the villager walks to the second. Repeat until the villager is next to their room.

Repeat the villager leading process until you have 3 villagers.

This is where the water will push the iron golem off the platform.

Place these stairs in a straight line. For example, if your roof is 11 by 7 blocks, make a 7 block long line. The stairs should be directly adjacent to the 3 exit stairs. The lower steps should face the exit stairs.

Don’t put walls in front of the 3 exit stairs.

To place the signs perpendicularly, place the first sign as you normally would. Then, crouch and place the remaining 2 signs adjacent to the first, creating a “gate” at the exit that will prevent water from flowing out.

Crouch to place the signs so that they are all parallel with each other.

Make sure the villagers can see the zombie. You may need to remove some blocks for them to safely view the zombie.
