How to Craft an Iron Golem in Minecraft
To make an iron golem in Minecraft, you'll need four iron blocks and a jack o' lantern, or a carved pumpkin placed in a T shape with the pumpkin placed on top. Start by placing two iron blocks on the ground; after , place the other two blocks you have on the left side and on the right side of the top iron block. Once the iron blocks are placed, place the carved pumpkin or jack o' lantern on the top middle block; the iron will appear and start moving after doing this.
But before you can craft an iron golem, you will need the necessary items, so let's see how to get all of these now. To start, to craft iron blocks, you will need iron ingots from smelting iron ore in a furnace. You will need a total of 36 of these iron ingots, so we recommend researching and mining at the top level of a cave or cave, as iron tends to spawn at all levels block underground. Once you have gathered the required amount of ingots, take them and place them in a crafting table as we have done below.
You will need to fill all slots on a crafting table; you will also need to do this four times, so make sure you have enough iron. After crafting the iron blocks you will then need to find pumpkins, you can find them in the extreme hills and plains biomes.

When you find a pumpkin, walk forward and use a tool or pierce it to harvest it; after you get the pumpkin, bring it back to your base and keep reading to find out how to make a lantern. To start, before you can make a jack o' lantern, you'll need a pair of shears; you can craft shears with two iron ingots using the pattern below.
When doing the shears, place the pumpkin on the ground and right-click on it using the shears; this will turn the pumpkin into a carved pumpkin. Pick up the carved pumpkin and bring it back to a crafting table and place it inside with a torch as shown below.
If you don't know how to make torches, you can make them using the same pattern, but with coal and sticks instead. Once you have all the required materials, follow the steps we listed at the beginning of this guide to craft the iron golem.
