In Bedrock Edition, an iron golem can spawn naturally when a village first generates in the world, and the number of villagers required to spawn an iron golem is at least 10 villagers with 20 beds in the village, although a single villager can be sufficient in a homemade village if the conditions are met. The iron golem spawn rate is also influenced by the presence of hostile mobs and the villagers’ ability to sleep and panic, making the iron golem spawn mechanism more complex and nuanced.
General Information
In order to spawn an iron golem, a village must have at least 20 beds and 10 villagers. If a villager is panicking due to a nearby hostile mob, the game will automatically create an iron golem near the villager for protection.
