How do you make a golem in Minecraft PE?

If youre an enemy in Minecraft — a zombie, a pillager, even a spider — there are few things scarier than an Iron Golem.

Iron Golems are NPCs that youll usually find wandering around friendly villages. They seem peaceful at first, but as soon as they see an enemy, theyll sprint over and punch it into dust. That can include you, too; if you attack an Iron Golem or hurt a villager near it, itll go berserk.

But while most Iron Golems spend their lives protecting villages, you can also build your personal Golem to protect your home. Theyll still kill any nearby enemy, but shouldnt wander too far — especially if you leash them to a fence.

Heres how to make an Iron Golem in Minecraft, and how to take care of it.

How to Make an Iron Golem in Minecraft (All Versions)

Required Materials to Build an Iron Golem

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft an iron golem:

TIP: You can use either a carved pumpkin or a jack olantern to craft an iron golem. You do not need them both!

In older versions of Minecraft (before the Aquatic Update), you could also use a pumpkin to craft an iron golem.

Spawning[]

In Java Edition, villagers can summon iron golems, either when they are gossiping or panicking and the following criteria are met:

The villager has slept in the last 20 minutes

The villager has not detected an iron golem in the last 30 seconds

• An iron golem is detected when it is within 16 blocks of the villager (±16X ±16Z ±16Y axis)
• The villager scans for golems once every 10 seconds

The villager has not been near a summoning in the last 30 seconds

• A villager is near a summoning when it is within 10 blocks of a villager (±10X ±10Z ±10Y axis) who successfully summons an iron golem

There are enough participants within 10 blocks of the villager, including the villager itself; participating villagers need to fulfill the previous 3 conditions

• When gossiping, at least 5 participants are needed
• When panicking, at least 3 are needed

A valid spawn point for the golem is found

Note: Currently in version 1.19 and the 1.19.1 pre-releases a bug has been found that makes the golem last seen & summoned timer 35 seconds rather than 30 seconds, as reported in MC-254100.[1][2]

To find a valid spawn point, up to 10 attempts are made to spawn a golem within a 16×13×16 box centered on the villager (villager block position +7/−8 blocks along x/z axes and ±6 blocks along y axis). A random y column is picked and then the topmost block in that column is selected that is air, water, or lava, and has a “solid-blocking” block underneath,[verify] or the block at y=+6 if none such is available in that column. The target location is then checked whether the block underneath has a solid top surface (which is not the same as “solid-blocking”). The target block and 2 blocks above must not be a full block, nor be redstone-powered, nor be rails, and the two blocks above must not be water. This means the iron golem can spawn inside 1-deep water or inside blocks like slabs, fences, and carpets (if other checks pass). Adjacent blocks are irrelevant, so golems can spawn partially inside adjacent solid blocks.[3] However, the spawning iron golem still must not collide with any existing entities.

In Bedrock Edition, an iron golem can spawn naturally when a village first generates in the world. Iron golems also spawn in villages having at least 20 beds and 10 villagers. The golem attempts to spawn in a 17×13×17 volume, ±8 blocks horizontal and ±6 blocks vertical from the villages center block, which can be a bed pillow or a bell. For a horizontal coordinate chosen within the spawn volume, the golem spawns with its feet on the highest valid solid surface within the volume at that coordinate.

For a village to spawn iron golems, 75% of the villagers in the village must have worked in the past day, 100% of the villagers must be linked to a bed, and a player must be within 64-128 blocks horizontal and 44-108 blocks vertical distance from the village center, depending on simulation distance.

The maximum distance the player can be from the village for iron golems to spawn can be calculated with this formula:

If the villages original iron golem is killed, a new one cannot spawn unless all of the conditions are met. Therefore, a small village does not regenerate an iron golem unless the village is expanded.

If the spawn conditions are met, then the chance of attempting a spawn is 1⁄700 per game tick, which averages to one spawn attempt every 35 seconds. Iron golems can spawn provided the 2×4×2 space above the spawn point (that is, horizontally centered on the northwest corner of the block it spawns on) contains only non-full blocks, and the block it spawns on is solid.
