The iron farm near the Veteran Base was one of the first great machines of Axolotl SMP Season 1. prop built it on 19 and 20 July 2021 from Gnembon’s golem farm design with the 1.17 fix, the one Mumbo Jumbo used on Hermitcraft. kira helped by loading villagers and a zombie into its pods by minecart. 1 It had a two-block-high collection hall with four hopper-chest lines, and within an hour it had made a stack. 2 See also Building the iron farm.
Teething troubles
Its zombie kept dying, and theories ranged from slabs to helmet durability to a 1.17.1 bug; kira suggested full blocks with carpet and a name tag. 3 Poppies jammed the first hopper until prop remodelled it. 4 prop placed the golems on 27 July and kira declared the farm done. 5 By then prop was complaining he kept running out of buckets: “we have a fucking god iron farm”. 6
Later fixes were simple. In September ender chests stopped dropped flowers from stagnating (“no loss in iron farm now”). 7 In October it kept overflowing its storage, and prop declared it was “suffering from success”. 8
Five years later
When the server returned in November 2026, prop boasted of being co-owner of one of the most stocked iron farms on the server. Then he found that an iron golem had been clogging the tunnel for five years: “the farm was running on 75% power and still we are the richest in iron”. 9 10 11
