I'm making a custom map and there are Iron Golems EVERYWHERE.
This map is planned to be shared w/ my baby cousin someday, been trying to keep it 100% child-friendly w/ no scary/suggestive/combative materials, locales, wording (signs, books) or the like. It's pretty much for exploring and role-playing. The Iron Golems are the only thing that's out of place & ruin the map.
There must be at least 50-70 of them in my town. The attached screenshot doesn't do the plague justice, they've everywhere. (ended up being nearly 300 total before I gave up wrangling them)
Iron Golems are clogging up hallways/doorways, blocking paths, trapping villagers, and destroying the aesthetic of my village/map. The bigger my town gets, the more frustrated they make me and the more intrusive they become ]: Can Iron Golem spawning be turned off?
Is there a command or setting to disable Iron Golems?
Non-Solutions:
• hiding them / throwing them into a pit
They just respawn seemingly as fast as I can corral them. I now have a Golem pit teeming with them. Have given up on wrangling them as it's an act of futility, kept making the pit bigger and more of them just keep spawning.
• anti-Golem spawning surfaces or environments
Not gonna wreck my entire map just to attempt to curb the spawn rate of these annoyances. Not gonna destroy all my beds, doors, or place slabs or glass all over the place or dig lava tranches.
• Golem lures or traps
0% compatible with the size and layout of my town. Also, playing in Peaceful.
• killing them
Doesn't work. Gave up on that too.
I just want a town with villagers and buildings and bunnies. No noisy, out-of-place lumbering hulks. I've been working on this map for at least a year and have been hoping a solution would be included in an update eventually.
A "solution" I found in order to
exterminate / disable Iron Golems
[as of build 1.16.3]
This "fix" results in Iron Golems spawning for a quick moment, disappearing, and leaving items (iron, poppy) behind. However, works for me, even resulted in a surprisingly significant frame rate boost. Covers a very wide area, but multiple command blocks may be needed for huge maps.
287 Golems were nuked when I first ran the command below:
Plug into a repeating command block: /kill @e[type=iron_golem]
+ Run the command below, in chat: /gamerule commandBlockOutput false
^Disables the notification every time the command block eliminates Iron Golems. Otherwise it was pinging my screen every few seconds.
If you're playing in 1.14.4+ then I may have a solution. In the said version iron golems needs beds and villagers to spawn. Seeing as you want villagers I would suggest destroying all beds, making bed designs out of other blocks or making sure whatever beds that are present inaccessible to villagers.

Yeah I didn't think of that, doesn't stop things like breeding so golems might not fall under the gamerule. Some testing might be required but to me preventing them from spawning at all is a better solution than killing them when they do.

Thank you for your time.

Try taming cats and put them into your villages.
There is a cat cap
If there is more 10 cats then no Iron Golem is going to spawn.
I found this information from wattle's video.
Take away the villagers' beds. You can make an alternative with wool and for headboard and/or foot board.

If you don't want the drops you can instead teleport them into the void.
/tp @e[type=minecraft:iron_golem] ~ -5 ~
Just testing.
You could also try:
That disables all mobs spawning, peaceful and hostile, so maybe not the best if you want other mobs to spawn.
I doubt that /gamerule doMobSpawning false would affect iron golems, they don't spawn in the same way that most other mobs do.
In the same kind of way that /gamerule doMobSpawning false doesn't affect cage spawners.
Just testing.
