IronWit

Updated 19 September 2026. Works with 26.3; should work with everything from 1.21.2, but not guaranteed. If you find any that don’t let me know.

If specific versions are needed, please join the Discord and ask in the data-pack-suggestions forum.

Purpose

Villager nitwits currently have little purpose in-game. This data pack remedies that by making them a sustainable source of iron.

Directions for Use

1. Install data pack.
2. Get a nitwit to stand over a hopper.

Notes

Nitwits must be between 0 and 0.5 blocks above a hopper to drop iron. All nitwits over hoppers will drop iron at the same time. The data pack should require that nitwits be 16 blocks apart to more closely simulate fear-based iron farms.

Known Issues

• None known.
