How to Spawn an Iron Golem
To spawn an iron golem, you can either create one manually using four iron blocks and a carved pumpkin in a “T” shape, or have one spawn naturally in a village with at least 20 beds and 10 villagers, where the villagers must be linked to a bed and have worked at their workstation in the past day. The natural spawning of an iron golem also requires a valid spawn spot and can be influenced by factors such as zombies or pillagers nearby, which increase the spawn rate of iron golems.
