Iron farm still not working. [bedrock] - Discussion - Minecraft - Minecraft Forum (2025)

I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're facing with your iron farm. It seems like a zombie got into the pen and killed all of your villagers, and despite bringing in new villagers from a different village and breeding them up, the farm is no longer working.

Based on the information you've provided, it's possible that there may be several reasons why the iron farm is not functioning properly. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

Check the villagers' workstation: Make sure that the new villagers are linked to the correct workstation, such as the fletching tables and beds. You can also try breaking and replacing the workstations to see if that fixes the problem.




Ensure that the villagers are in the correct location: It's possible that the villagers are not in the right position within the farm. Make sure that they are within the designated area for the farm to function properly.




Check for other nearby villages: Despite your statement, it's possible that there is another village within 900 blocks of your farm that is interfering with its function. You can use a tool like Amidst to check for any nearby villages.




Ensure that the farm is built correctly: Make sure that your iron farm is built correctly and follows the design that you used initially. There could be an issue with the farm's design that is preventing it from working.




Reset the farm: It's possible that the farm is simply bugged or glitched. Try resetting the farm by breaking and replacing all of the blocks, including the beds and workstations, and then see if the farm begins working again.

I hope these suggestions help you get your iron farm working again. Good luck! FR Legends Mod Apk

I gave up trying to make iron farms a long time ago and so did my friend lizking10152011 who used to build them but has since come to realize they are no longer worth the effort due to Mojang's attempts to nerf them or remove them from the game entirely. They do have their uses, believe me I know this, they are expensive on resources to set up, especially with a sorting system using hoppers, but the pay off is more than worth it.

They give players, specifically build style players more liberty in large scale construction, some of us do not have the time or the amount of players on the server necessary to build things like a complex town or city out of resources that are mined, that is why farms are considered a useful alternative for people who still want to enjoy the benefits of survival mode, the sense of achievement or earning and adventure.

Even if people consider mob farms overpowered, especially those of the AFK type, the compromise then would be to redesign them so all the mobs had to be manually killed and engaged in combat in order to obtain their loot. Unfortunately Mojang won't even meet us half way with this and they seem obsessed with simply making the game more grindy because they don't have any original or productive ideas of their own to carry the game forward.

It's 2023 and they still insist on doing this, so it is doubtful they will ever learn from their mistakes,

they were the ones that made mob spawning mechanics farmable to begin with, but rather than own up to it

and try to improve our experience, they double down in trying to remove them.
