Iron farm speed run

Maybe this isn't even practical BUT I still would like to see how fast a person can creat a bedrock iron farm on a random seed. Like a speed run category for the fastest time that someone can make a functioning iron farm.

I know a lot of people are probably going to say just find a mountain or go caving to get early iron but I just want to see it a like a challenge. Has anyone ever done this? Has anyone even ever seen a video of someone doing this?

Thanks

I mined a lot of dimonds ores and it took me 6 months

Expansion of the my perimeter to 2000×2000, half a billion blocks were removed, 130’000 diamond ores were mined and in total I spent 900 Hours. The best of the past 6 months in 16 Pictures (see description below)

I play on a vanilla SMP server with a friend. We are currently playing on version 1.21.11, although some of the chunks within the perimeter were generated in version 1.21.1.

The perimeter was mostly completed by me, but a big shout-out goes to Aragorn949, who helped me a lot throughout the project, with gathering the resources, troubleshooting the WE, diamond oew mining and providing a lot of mental support. As he is a redstone engineer I felt confident to complete this big project.

We used the QSWE-V3 World Eater (WE), designed by Attila, DividedByZer0, Shinji, and Sg. This 4× World Eater was extremely reliable and never broke during the entire run, so a big shout-out to them for making it so reliable! I think here is important to mention that this WE always removes two layers per run which makes it much more efficient.

In total, the WE removed 443,440,752 blocks.

Let’s go more into detail about the hours spent and the amounts of diamonds mined.
It took me roughly 870 IRL hours of work or 2400 Minecraft days. Those IRL hours are distributed in:

  • Trenches: 250h
  • Build WE (+testing & verification): 40h
  • Run WE: 70h
  • Fix WE (repairs & modifications): 10h
  • Mining: 500h

As you read above the most part I spent with mining. In the perimeter a total of 331,839 diamond ores were generated within the perimeter. We were able to mine 131’010 Diamond ores which used the space of 76 shulker boxes.

If you would mine those ores with fortune III it would result in 288’222 Diamonds or 32024 diamond blocks respectively which would have space in 19 shulker boxes.

With those 32024 diamond blocks you could build a 28 layered pyramid

I wanted to put together some of the most interesting and memorable things we encountered during the past six months.

Picture 1: 131,010 Deepslate Diamond Ores stacked into a cuboid measuring (LxWxH) 50 × 50 × 52 blocks. The remaining ores are stacked on top. I am standing on top for scale.

Picture 2: [Modifed picture]. 2,929 Deepslate Coal Ores and 981 Stone Diamond Ores have been mined. For every stone diamond I mined 134 deepslate diamond ores.

Picture 3: My stats after completing the perimeter. Deepslate Diamond Ore is now the fourth most-mined block in this world, which I have been playing on for a long time. A small portion of the diamonds was mined by my friend.

Picture 4: The area with the 500x500 perimeter and the trenchers outlines the big perimeter.

Picture 5: The completed perimeter. I started the expansion at the beginning of March 2026, and it took almost six months to complete. Most of that time was spent mining the diamonds. In total, 18 biomes were removed from this area. They are listed below:

  • Bamboo jungle Badlands
  • Beach
  • Deep Dark
  • Desert
  • Dripstone caves
  • Eroded Badlands
  • Forest
  • Jungle
  • Lukewarm Ocean
  • Mangrove Swamp
  • Plains
  • River
  • Sparse Jungle
  • Stony Shore
  • Warm Ocean
  • Windswept Savanna
  • Wooded Badlands

 Picture 6: While expanding the perimeter, WE revealed a 25-ore connected diamond vein within the same chunk border.

Picture 7: While running WE, I found a a six-block-tall cactus growing on the ground within the perimeter. What a lucky find.

Picture 8: While expanding the perimeter, my friend found a skeleton and a zombie spawner right next to each other.

Picture 9: In total, I removed 360 mob spawners from the entire perimeter, including the old perimeter. Twice, we found two Notch Apples in the same chest.

Picture 10: [Edited into a single picture.] In total, 11 Trial Chambers were removed or partially removed (see Picture 14) while clearing out the perimeter. I removed 110 Vaults and 81 Trial Spawners from the Trial Chambers. These blocks take 75 seconds to mine, which means it took approximately four hours just to remove them.

Picture 11: A buried large Ruined Portal. Although they aren't particularly rare, I had never found one before. I especially like how this one generated inside a Dripstone Cave, combined with the Mineshaft.

Picture 12: Two mob spawners generated right next to each other, with a Geode between them and lava flowing into it.

Picture 13: The End Portal, which is also located within the perimeter.

Picture 14: The WE running diagonally across the final layer to create a smooth floor. Note: Usually the WE is not running diagonally.

Picture 15: Bird's-eye view of the mining area. You can see a large number of exposed ores.

Picture 16: A Trial Chamber cut nearly in half

Thank you for reading this post! What’s the biggest Minecraft project you’ve ever completed, and how long did it take you?

I wanted to make a copper beacon

That is. I had to mine lots of copper, smelt it, and make copper blocks to make this third beacon at my base, and it didn't work.

Storage room

I'd like to show off the storage room I managed to set up. If you have any ideas on how it could be improved, I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Potion brewing

I am new to brewing potions, as my 2 week Minecraft phases never really got past just setting up a very basic homestead. I am now on Month 4 of my latest 2 week phase, and I am getting serious about learning aspects of the game I have never dealt with before. My question is simple: does anyone have an easy to use picture resource of brewing recipes? Please post your best you have, and I will be forever grateful to you fine people. Thanks!

Newbie minecraft player: should I make one massive world or multiple smaller ones

I started playing MC a few years ago and kind of fell off but am getting the itch to play again! I have some build ideas but they are all different from each other, with different biomes and aesthetics. I am wondering if I should play on one massive world and do it that way or if I should make each of these build ideas their own separate dedicated worlds?

If I did the one big massive world I could create like a road system and travel between all the different Villages which sounds kind of neat but I am using a chunk base seed finder and for a lot of these builds they have very different criteria that I'm looking for so it makes finding an Ideal World kind of difficult because I'm asking for a ton of different things all at once.

So instead I could make each build project its own dedicated world but obviously the big drawback with that is starting over every time although that could be a fun thing to do because usually the early parts of a new world are the most fun.

What would you recommend? I am playing current edition on Java
