Iron golems spawning at an alarming rate

Possible cause

Iron golems check only a range of 9 blocks before it tries spawning a new one

The bug

After an hour of updating to 19w11a, my village (which previously had two golems) now has nine.

Can confirm. After updating to 19w11a from 19w09a there were around 12 iron golems around my villager breeder after 1.5h of play. In 19w09a iron golems never spawned there.

Also that breeder has 6 doors, I think iron golems are not supposed to spawn in such a small "village".

19w11a changed village mechanics. If 10 villagers "gossip" about iron golems and reach a level of 100, they spawn a iron golem. Doors are no longer needed for a village to exist

I can confirm this bug in 19w12b in a World converted from 1.13.2 via 19w07a. Meanwhile there are 50+ Iron Golems (see my both pics) and from my villagers 2/3 are dead. The dead fo villagers I only can confirm always are in a hug group of Iron Golems. I can't say what happend there in the group.

Confirmed. Still happening in 19w13b.

Can we get info on limits for golems? how many per X amount of villagers?

John Smith

I can confirm as well for 19w13b. They are like rats in my village and it forces me to set up golem traps around the village just to keep the numbers down.

Iron Golems have been overrunning my spawn village for some time. At one point there were 200 iron golems in the village all of which I had to attach to the perimeter wall to allow the 33 villagers access to buildings. This was after I killed a large number of the golems on two occasions. The village is walled so perceived threats by villagers are difficult to imagine. At present I allow six golems in the village and place all new spawning golems outside the walls to attack mobs and eventually be killed by them. I tried planting tall grass everywhere inside the village (even on rooftops) and broke every door in the village but nothing slows the spawning. It is very sad that I cannot find any solution other than to put them out to die. Can you help me stop the spawning?

Currently running version 1.16.1. No mods.

Would someone please look at the attached photo of naturally spawned Iron Golems from the village behind the walls and explain how this number is "behavior that is working as intended and not a bug". As I stated in my earlier comment, I remove newly spawned golems from the village and place them outside the walls so as not to congest village life (seven golems remain in the village for protection). The sheer number of spawning golems is staggering. You might compare the current photo with the one from my earlier comment above. I need help with this.

Since 1.16.1 I face this problem again. Villages make DOZENS os golems now, even smaller controll groups of 4 villagers make them. I now have to kill them or my game slows down way

I was playing in 20w51a and very quickly had nine iron golems spawn in my village which only has 12 villagers in less than three hours. Is this normal/intentional? It has a maximum capacity of 13 villagers but one of the villagers died. I have it fenced off and lit up so no other mobs can spawn or get into the village except for the iron golems and villagers themselves and some animals I brought in, so the villagers should be "seeing" the iron golems. I have a killing room where I drop them onto magma blocks because nine is a little excessive, and I already have ~a half-stack of iron blocks from killing them.

Edit: There were nine at one time before I started killing them.
