11. Will spawned iron golems despawn?
Something like 3-5 minutes after they spawn, they despawn without dropping loot. This allows time for the golems to defend the villagers, time for iron farms to kill the golem, and ensures that the number of iron golems doesn’t increase indefinitely.

Iron golems only leave creepers alone because otherwise that would result in the villager being blown up. If they would, then the creeper would most likely explode and destroy parts of what the golems are trying to protect.

For golems to spawn in this village, 75% of villagers must have worked, every villager must be linked to a bed, and a player has to have the village in a loaded chunk. The game will attempt to spawn a golem every thirty-five seconds. The player can also spawn golems themselves.
