Iron Golems are large, strong utility mobs. Their main purpose is to defend villagers in villages from hostile mobs and siege attacks. They will try to protect villagers from getting killed.
Creation
Iron Golems spawn naturally in villages, provided there are 10 villagers and at least 21 houses (counted as doors). It is possible for Iron Golems to spawn in player-made villages. The chance of spawning is 1 in 7000 per tick which averages around one every six minutes.
The golems can be crafted using blocks in a similar fashion to Snow Golems and Withers. To do so, the player must vertically place 4 blocks of iron in a T-shape, and place a Pumpkin or a Jack-O-Lantern on top. The pumpkin must be placed last. They will always spawn facing south. Iron Golems cannot be manufactured by a piston assembly line without player(s) interaction. Players should not manufacture Iron golems next to a wall because it may take suffocation damage and die.
Players should take note that Iron Golems, like Snow Golems, cannot be crafted in a crafting table.
Behavior
Iron Golems behave similarly to a tamed wolf, although they are slower and loyal to Villagers instead of players. Iron Golems are also a lot more powerful in that they have a greater attack force, a greater attack radius, more health, and are completely resistant to drowning and fall damage; making them good tools for both villager protection and personal use. Note that they do not regenerate HP but can be healed with a splash health potion. Like villagers they will not wander away from the village, regardless of whether they were spawned naturally, or created by the player. Hence building them in a village is a good idea to keep them from wandering away. However if they were built outside of a village, they will most likely wander away if there is no barrier. Iron Golems will act normally around villagers, and sometimes will face a villager, as if they are speaking to each other.
Iron Golems are able to hold poppies and give them to Villagers, symbolizing the friendly relationship between the Villagers and Iron Golems. However, they won't give poppies to other iron golems, regardless if they were created by the player or spawned in a village.
Attack
Naturally spawned Iron Golems will attempt to attack the player if the player attacks them first, but will quickly give up(sometimes so quickly it will appear the golem didn't try to attack the player at all). However, if the player attacks nearby villagers enough, Iron Golems will pursue the player (only in Survival mode). The Iron Golem does not have to directly see the player attacking a villager to become hostile toward the player. If an Iron Golem is provoked by the player attacking it or a villager, the Golem will become neutral again after the player runs far enough away. Any Iron Golems generated through other means will not attack the player if provoked, won't be as loyal to villagers and have a habit of wandering off. Iron Golems will not attack Ghasts and will only attack a Creeper if it has a low amount of health. On rare occasions, a creeper might explode, killing the iron golem that is attacking it.
Iron Golems will only attack hostile mobs within five blocks on equal ground. During village sieges, however, a naturally spawned Iron Golem will seek out any hostile mob threatening a villager, regardless of distance.

When provoked, Iron Golems will move quickly toward their target and once in range will swing their arms up violently to attack, dealing 3½ to 10½ hearts damage and flinging the target into the air. This attack is the strongest melee attack in the game, and one of the strongest attacks overall, only being beaten by a Creeper's explosion. Iron Golems have a comparatively large attack range, allowing them to attack through a solid 1 block thick wall, even without line of sight to the target. Please note that Iron Golems also attack zombie pigmen, making them a vulnerable target for hordes of zombie pigmen, wolves (tamed or not), cats and endermen.
They can take damage from weapons, lava, fire, poison, cacti, and suffocation. They do not take fall damage or drowning damage. Even though they won't get damaged, if a golem is underwater, it will not attack or move.
Iron Golems can climb up any solid surface that is at most one block high and can climb down ledges and holes if the bottom is at most three blocks deep and at least 2x1 blocks at the base. However they seem to be unable to climb down when walking on top of fences. They will not try to avoid contact with cacti and may even walk on top of them if they are able to do so. They avoid water and lava at all times because, whilst they do not take drowning damage, they cannot swim and will get stuck underwater like Slimes. Iron Golems can walk over a 1 block wide hole, no matter how deep the hole is, unlike most other mobs.
The player can push Iron Golems up ladders despite only being able to climb a single ladder themselves.
Appearance
Iron Golems look similar to their villager counterpart. They have tall heads, uni-brows, and large noses. They have black eyes with red pupils. They stand nearly as tall as an Enderman. They seem to be covered with vines and plants to reference ruins of fallen ancient civilizations. They also have perfectly straight arms that they never bend as well as large shoulders. They also have thick legs. Whenever they get hurt you hear an iron pounding sound; however, other than that they usually don't make any other noises.
Uses
Defense
An Iron Golem's primary purpose is to defend NPC Villages from Zombie attacks, and/or other mobs usually during a siege. Although slow, their high health and damage prove them to be great defenders. They swing their arms during their attacks, causing enemies to be thrown into the air and usually killed in one or two attacks, or rarely, three attacks. Player usage might involve enclosing Golems in a large fenced-off area to prevent their wandering off, although such control of the area could be accomplished in simpler ways.
Iron Golems are very strong mobs, with more hitpoints than any monster short of the Ender Dragon and Wither. However, they require a good deal of iron to build, and are prone to wandering off or being distracted by nearby monsters. In contrast, wolves are individually weaker, but can easily be bred, automatically follow the player, and will focus on the particular monsters that their master attacks or is attacked by.
Take note that while Iron Golems easily kill spiders, zombies, skeletons and silverfish, they have more trouble killing Endermen. This is because of the Enderman's natural speed and higher health. It may be wise to assist Iron Golems fighting Endermen.
As a Pet
If you use a lead on an iron golem, the golem will follow you almost anywhere you go. The golem will then protect you from any hostile mobs that come near you, with the exception of creepers.
Spawning
Golems will spawn near the center of a village if it has at least ten villagers and 21 houses. Additional houses beyond the 21st will make no difference as far as golem spawning is concerned, but you will need 29 of them, at least initially, in order to spawn ten villagers naturally (although after that you can cut them back down to 21 if you want to). However, having additional villagers beyond the tenth will allow more golems to spawn, in increments of one golem for every ten villagers (so 0-9 villagers allows no golems to spawn, the cap is set at zero; 10-19 raises that cap to one, 20-29 raises it to two, etc.). This cap only limits the number of golems in a village at any one time; as soon as one is killed or leaves the village boundaries, a new one can spawn in its place immediately.
The golem spawning zone is a 16 x 16 x 6 area centered around the center point of the village. As long as all the conditions are met (10 villagers, 21 houses, golem cap not reached), then each game tick (1/20 of a second) there is a 1/7000 chance the game will try to spawn a golem. Basically it picks a random number between 0 and 6999, and if it picks 0, then up to ten attempts are made to spawn a golem. A random spot is chosen inside the spawning zone, and if that spot contains a solid block with at least 2x2x4 space above it (including liquids—golems can spawn in water, which is key to the iron farm designs linked below), then a golem is spawned there.
This is repeated up to ten times or until a golem is spawned, whichever comes first. Then, the check is repeated each game tick, until enough golems have been spawned to reach the cap, at which point spawning is put on hold until either a golem is eliminated or the cap is raised. This means that the average expected spawning rate (for an iron farm, for example), if the golems are killed or flushed outside the village boundary quickly enough so that the cap is never reached and new ones are able to spawn in their place immediately, is roughly 10 golems (30-50 ingots if you're farming them) per hour.
Farming
Example of an Iron Golem lava trap
An example of Iron Golems spawning directly in liquid
An iron golem farm is an artificial village (or several of them, spaced far enough apart to remain separate) in which golems are spawned and then either killed immediately, or moved to a holding cell (outside the village boundary, so that new ones can spawn in their place) for later killing. If you opt for the first method, you will either need to go AFK while camping out at the collection point, or else check back periodically to collect your items before they despawn, or use Hoppers. This necessity can be avoided by using the holding cell method, which allows the golems to collect while you are working nearby, and then you can harvest them all at once when you are ready so that you don't miss any drops. Another, more preferable option is to use hoppers to collect drops. By using hoppers, it will be possible to collect drops without being near the collection point.
There are several ways to build an iron farm, but the most effective versions seem to be the ones that utilize two floors in the central golem-spawning zone, and keep all doors and villagers outside the zone, either above and below the center or in an outer "ring" on the same level. This is in order to maximize the number of available spaces for the golems to spawn in, which in turn will reduce the number of failed attempts, and keep the spawning rate as high as possible. This is much more effective than simply increasing the villager count to raise the golem cap, which only matters for the few seconds between the time when a golem spawns and when it is flushed out or killed, anyway. To further increase your output rate, you can build several separate "modules" and bring the golems or their drops to a central collection area. Since golems are immune to falling or drowning damage, the available killing methods are lava or suffocation (or a combination of the two, as in docm77's video.)
For detailed steps on farming them, see Tutorials/Iron golem farm
Killing
There are several ways to kill Iron Golems and obtain their drop items. The following are the most effective ones:
- Suffocation by a sticky piston and a block. The killing can start instantly after spawning but it will clog up the trap, making other Golems unable to either spawn or die, depending on the design.
- By lava that won't touch the Golem's feet (since this is where the drops appear). This is the most damaging (and therefore quickest) of the automated killing methods. An example picture of this method is shown to the right.
Note: Falling and drowning traps are ineffective as Iron Golems don't take fall or drowning damage.
If the Iron Golems are dropped at least seven blocks below the floor block(s) of the house, they will immediately be outside the village boundaries, and therefore detached from the village, so a new Golem will be able to spawn, even before the previously village-attached Golems have died.
If there is no other spawn space available, Iron Golems will be able to spawn inside liquids, meaning an instant lava killing trap is possible, as shown on the picture to the right. Dropping the Iron Golems out of the spawn boundaries as soon they spawn, however, could be seen as preferable to this method, as it ensures a higher Iron Golem spawn rate.
The traps could have a collection area, where the player can pick up the drop items. It is possible to have multiple Golems spawn in one area to make a very effective farm.
If a player is short on resources and time but still wants to harvest the iron from Golems, they may simply suffocate the Golems with blocks of sand or gravel. Golems are very slow-moving and tend to wait at the same spot when not patrolling a village, so it is very easy to drop three blocks of sand or gravel on top of them and wait for suffocation.

Despite using [[Iron Ingot|iron]] in its crafting recipe, shears cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>
===Trading===
Novice-level Shepherd [[villager]]s have a 40% chance to sell shears for 2 [[emerald]]s in Java Edition. This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition.

{{LootChestItem|shears}}
==Usage==
===Shearing===
Shears lose 1 [[durability]] when used to shear something.
Shears can be {{Control|use|text=used}} on a [[sheep]] to remove its coat and drop 1–3 [[wool]] of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a [[grass block]] to regenerate its coat.
Shearing a [[mooshroom]] drops 5 [[mushroom]]s of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal [[cow]].
Shearing a [[snow golem]] irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face.
Shearing either a [[beehive]] or [[bee nest]] that is full of honey makes it drop 3 [[honeycomb]]s and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a [[campfire]] below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player.
[[Dispenser]]s can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' [[durability]]. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it.
Shearing a [[pumpkin]] turns it into a [[carved pumpkin]], dropping 4 [[pumpkin seeds]] {{in|java}} or 1-3 pumpkin seeds {{in|bedrock}}.
{{IN|java}}, shearing the tip of [[cave vines]], [[kelp]], [[weeping vines]], or [[twisting vines]] sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth.
===Breaking blocks===
Shears use 1 [[durability]] when is used to break any block, even if it [[instant mining|breaks instantly]] by hand.
Shears can be used to harvest [[cobweb|cobwebs]], [[leaves]], [[grass|grass, tall grass]], [[seagrass|seagrass, tall seagrass]], [[fern|ferns, large fern]]s, [[dead bush]]es, [[nether sprouts]], [[vines]], [[glow lichen]] or [[hanging roots]] and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break [[tripwire]] connected to a [[tripwire hook]] without activating it.
When shears are used to break [[Weeping Vines|weeping vines]] or [[Twisting Vines|twisting vines]] they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines.
The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken:
*White: The original block.
*Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples).
*Red: Nothing.

'''Raw iron''' is a raw metal resource obtained from mining [[iron ore]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
[[Iron ore]] and [[deepslate iron ore]] mined with a [[stone pickaxe]] or higher drops 1 unit of raw iron. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.
== Obtaining ==

|Output= Book and Quill
|type= Miscellaneous
}}
=== Natural generation ===
{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Writing ===
By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.
Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]).
The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.
In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}
=== Lecterns ===
One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].
The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].
=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.
If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.
=== Signing ===
Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].
Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.
The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.
=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.
=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.
{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.
=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}
Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.
A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.
{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.
=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]
{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.
{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.
The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}}
== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.
Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.
==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.
=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}
==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}
A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>
If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.
The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>
=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

Golden swords have the highest enchantability, yet the least durability{{Notelist}}
=== Fuel ===
Wooden swords can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per sword.
=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Sword;Golden Sword|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
=== Piglins ===
If a {{EntityLink|Piglin}} see a golden sword, it will set off to reach it, then stare at it for 120 — 160 ticks, putting it in their inventory, and continue to perform the action it was taking before being attracted by the golden sword.

{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].
=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.

Issues
Issues relating to "Iron Golem" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
Robot from Laputa: Castle in the Sky
- The Iron Golem's dimensions are 2.9 blocks high and 1.4 blocks wide.
- Iron Golems are yet to be implemented in Minecraft Pocket Edition.
- The Iron Golem is a purchasable avatar item on the Xbox 360 Marketplace.
- The Iron Golems holding out poppies to Villager children is a reference to the ancient robots in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Laputa: Castle in the Sky,[1] as is the fact that the Golems are covered in vines.
- When villager children notice the poppy in its hand, they will slowly approach, and take the flower eventually. Iron Golems do not actually pick up poppies, they spawn them in their hands.
- As with Snow Golems, the pumpkin must be placed last during the building process or the iron golem will not spawn.
- Also as with Snow Golems, there is no Spawn Egg for this mob without the use of mods or hacks. This is because the player can create them through other means.
- Iron Golems will avoid water whenever possible, and unlike other mobs (apart from Slimes and Magma Cubes), it will sink to the bottom of any liquid.
- Iron Golems wobble as they walk, unique to other mobs which remain completely upright when walking.
- The looting enchantment is not effective against Iron Golems and does not give any extra Iron Ingots or Poppies when killed.
- Iron Golems are passive mobs if in water.
- Iron Golems will target Snow Golems if accidentally hit by a snowball. Snow Golems will then become hostile toward the Iron Golem.
- If an Iron Golem is attacked by multiple mobs it will retaliate in the order it was attacked.
- Tamed wolves will continue to attack hostile Iron Golems after the Iron Golems have turned passive towards the player.
- Iron Golems were fashioned to look like Villagers, having a protruding nose and single eyebrow.
- When an Iron Golem sinks to the bottom of a large body of water, it will remain there completely still, as if deactivated.
- If you throw an Ender Pearl at an Iron Golem, it will become hostile to you.
- A base with Iron Golem and Snow Golem defenses is one of the best mob defenses available. Although Snow Golems will not attack Creepers and creepers might explode on the Iron golems, this can be overcome by adding a double-slab wall for your buildings or by having a perimeter of cats.
- Iron Golems tend to stay near villagers at all times when not aggravated.
- Two Iron Golems may fight each other. The golems will stand face to face and slowly back up, until one or both charge in quickly. The process starts over, with all the actions happening at random intervals.
- Iron Golems have a chance of accidentally hitting/killing another mob/animal while attacking a hostile mob.
- Iron Golems can spawn in large houses and will then need a player's help to get out.
- It is possible for multiple Golems to simultaneously hit the same target. The height in which the victim is sent flying is relative to the number of Golems that attack it.
- Even if they have a poppy in their hands they can still hit a Hostile Mob.
- Iron Golems can defend player's houses from most mobs without the need for an area inclosed by a fence. with a lead, a fence post on one end, and a golem at the other end, they will stay in a specific area and smash most that come too close, except for creepers and unwanted players (multiplayer only).
