Yes, there are several ways to stop Iron Golems from spawning, including covering the spawning area in bottom slabs, as mobs can’t spawn on half slabs, keeping one Iron Golem to prevent more from spawning, and getting rid of the villagers that are spawning the Iron Golem. To achieve this, you can use various blocks such as snow layers, grass, and water, which can prevent the Iron Golem from spawning when placed in the empty spaces.
