These lumbering giants are neutral mobs that naturally generate in villages and protect villagers from hostile mobs. There are many mobs in Minecraft and one of the most interesting mobs is the iron golem. If you manage to kill an iron golem, they will drop 3-5 iron ingots and 0-2 poppies. Its attack deals a lot of damage and will also launch its target into the air inflicting fall damage as well. They will patrol villages typically staying within villages. To make an Iron Golem, place four iron blocks, one as a base and three across the top, and a carved pumpkin on the top middle iron block. Iron Golems are neutral mobs that naturally generate in villages to protect villagers, or are built by players to protect their land from hostile mobs.
