Q. Do Iron Golems drop loot when they die?

Yes, Iron Golems drop a small amount of iron, in ingot form and it may drop a flower upon death, signifying their gentle and protective nature. However, a measly 3 to 5 iron is not worth taking down these gentle giants, even though they won’t fight back.

Q. Can I tell Iron Golems where to go?

Unfortunately, Iron Golems are automatons and as such cannot be trained like other animals in Minecraft can. However, their behavior is predictable. They tend to patrol around structures, whether those be villages or player-made structures. Thankfully, Iron Golems will never leave their home.

Since iron is one of the most plentiful minerals in Minecraft, it may be a good idea to take some out of storage and convert this abundant resource into a living guardian. A skilled Minecraft player may keep one or multiple of these entities patrolling their base at all times. These creatures are especially good at keeping Witches outside of your base’s perimeter.
