Steps To Build An Iron Golem

1. Make The Body

To build a Minecraft Iron Golem, we'll start by placing two iron blocks stacked on top of each other. This is essentially the body of your Iron Golem.

2. Add Arms

Now we need to add the arms. We can do this by simply placing an iron block on each side of the top bock of the body.

3. Add A Head

Lastly, we need to place the carved pumpkin OR jack o' lantern on top of the body (this step must be done last).

The Iron Golem will now come to life!

Keep in mind, there will need to be some space around your Iron Golem in order to spawn. It will not spawn in a confined area.
