For those who wanted an iron farm that can be built outside spawn chunks which still produces huge amounts of iron, here is the solution: 32 villages, 1300 iron every hour, works in 1.8 snapshots, and only requires 27 villagers to be operational. ... Now the video did not turn out quite as I would have liked it, but after I had to re-record parts of it over 40 times, this is the best I could get it. Most often the problem I had was that I would do the recording not in full screen, which resulted in resolution less than 1080, meaning I couldnt connect it with the other clips in VDUB... Anyway, most of you dont care about that, so here is a bit of an FAQ about the farm: - 1: will it work in 1.7 / can I build it in 1.7 / does it have to be built in 1.8? A: it will NOT work in 1.7. That said, it doesnt require anything special version wise to build, so if you build it in 1.7 and then upgrade to 1.8 it will work just as well as if you build it directly in 1.8. - 2: do I have to place the doors in any specific order? A: No! The villages are created through redstone, so you can place them in any order you like. They are direction dependent (east-west or north-south), as is the farm - so make sure you get that right. - 3: Should I build this, or the Iron Titan? A: Well, if you dont have access to the spawn chunks (public servers), or dont want to have the farm constantly loaded and taking up your computer's resources (SP or private servers), then you should build this. On the other hand if you have access to the spawn chunks and dont mind the constant load, then build the Iron Titan. - 4: It does not work!!! A: first thing you want to do is check if you built the farm facing the right direction. Then you want to check if all the doors are placed the right distance from each other. After that, make sure that all the blocks that need sunlight, do in fact receive sunlight. Finally, start checking the redstone - since something is wrong. Oh, and you are in 1.8, right?
