how do you make an iron golem in minecraft

To make an Iron Golem in Minecraft, follow these steps:

1. Gather materials:
   • 36 iron ingots to craft 4 iron blocks (each iron block requires 9 iron ingots).
   • 1 carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern (use shears on a pumpkin to carve it).
2. Build the iron block structure:
   • Place 4 iron blocks in a "T" shape: 2 iron blocks stacked vertically, then 1 iron block on each side of the top iron block, forming a horizontal line of 3 blocks on top of the vertical stack.
3. Place the carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on top of the center upper iron block last.

Once the pumpkin is placed, the structure will transform into an Iron Golem that will start moving around and defending against hostile mobs

. Additional tips:

• Use shears on the pumpkin before placing it to carve it.
• Iron Golems can be healed by using iron ingots on them.
• Make sure to keep the Iron Golem in a fenced or enclosed area to prevent it from wandering off
