How to Create Iron Man in Minecraft

Iron men are large, strong characters who protect people in the village. They often appear naturally in villages, but most naturally occurring villages are too small for this phenomenon to occur. However, you are allowed to create an iron man in any updated version of Minecraft, including Pocket Edition (mobile version).

Create iron man

Craft four iron blocks. To create an iron block, you will put nine iron ingots into the crafting table. The Iron Man is made from four blocks (36 ingots) of iron.

If you don't have enough iron, you can learn to find it quickly.

Pick pumpkins. Pumpkins grow on any grass block that has air above it (but not on tall grass or snow). The plains are where pumpkins are easily found. You need a pumpkin (also called squash) to build an iron man.

You only need one pumpkin to set up a pumpkin farm and enjoy growing this type of agricultural product. First, turn a pumpkin into four seeds in the crafting screen. Sow seeds in the farm area next to the water area, placing an additional block of bare soil for each seed. Pumpkins will grow on bare soil blocks.

Find open areas. The minimum size of this area is three blocks wide and three blocks high, but the larger the area, the better. If you create an iron man too close to a wall, it will probably get stuck in the wall and suffocate while growing.

Trim tall grass or flowers in that area before you begin. Sometimes these factors can prevent iron man growth.

Place four iron blocks in a T shape. Place one iron block on the ground. Place three more blocks adjacent to each other on top of the first block to create a "T" shape. This will be the body part of the iron man.

Place the pumpkin, or squash, on the T. You'll place the pumpkin on the block in the middle, so it has a structure that looks like a plus sign. With this operation, the iron man will appear immediately.

The pumpkin must be placed last; otherwise, iron man will not appear.

Use iron man

Have iron men protect the village. If the ironmen 'sniff' any village nearby, they will wander closer and patrol the buildings. This protection is not as simple as using solid walls and flashlights, but you will see the iron man giving flowers to the villagers.

Unlike naturally grown iron men, the character you create will not attack you, even if you harm it or the villagers.

Place the iron man in the fence. Build a fence if you want the iron man you just created to stay in one place instead of wandering around protecting the villagers. Iron man will also stay in one place if you plant many climbing plants around the house.

Attach the rope to the iron man. You can use a leash to make the ironman follow you, or to tie the ironman to a fence (although they won't defend well when tied up). The lead is made from four ropes and a slimy ball.
