Where is the Iron Golem Spawning area HEIGHT centered?

Ok, I understand that Iron Golems spawn in a 16x16x6 area (6 being the height) from the center of the village. Does this mean the two blocks of the door, two blocks below the door and two blocks above the door? OR! does it mean 6 blocks from the bottom of the door?

From the picture below, which accurately depicts the spawning height for Iron Golems, A or B? (assuming all doors are at the same level)

A source would also be greatly appreciated.

Best Answer

The 16x16x6 area is centered around the center of the village. The center of the village is geometric mean of coordinates of all doors that are part of the village. The door coordinates are usually carried by the bottom part of the door.

If all doors are at the same Y coordinate, the area would be centered vertically around the bottom edge of the doors (so neither A nor B in the picture is correct).

What height do iron golems spawn?

Iron golems can spawn in a 16\xd712\xd716 volume around the village center point; that is, a spawning platform should extend 8 blocks in all horizontal directions from northwest bottom corner of the POI block, and can be in a vertical range from 5 blocks above the top to 6 blocks below the bottom of the POI block.

How high should an iron golem farm be?

Building the drop might require digging holes, or building shafts, depending on where you've built your farm, but 20 blocks or so is a good height to aim for. Iron Golems are completely immune to fall damage, so we'll have to use other methods to finish them off.

How much vertical space do iron golems need to spawn?

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.
