In Minecraft, villagers need to sleep to spawn iron golems. The villagers must have slept in the last 20 minutes to spawn iron golems. This is a requirement for the spawning of iron golems, along with the detection of a suitable spawn point and the absence of a recently summoned iron golem within a certain distance.

What You'll Learn
Villagers must have slept in the last 20 minutes
In the Java edition, villagers can summon iron golems when they are either gossiping or panicking. When gossiping, at least five participants are needed to be within a 10-block radius for any one of them to summon an iron golem. When panicking, only three are required to be within a 10-block radius.
In the Bedrock edition, an iron golem can spawn naturally when a village is first generated in the world. Iron golems also spawn in villages with at least 20 beds and 10 villagers.
In both editions, the villager must have not detected an iron golem in the last 30 seconds and there must be a suitable spawn point available for the iron golem.

Villagers must be panicking or gossiping
For villagers to start gossiping, they must be within a certain radius of each other. In Java Edition, villagers can spawn an iron golem when they are either panicking or gossiping, provided the following criteria are met:
- The villager has slept in the last 20 minutes.
- The villager has not detected an iron golem in the last 30 seconds.
- An iron golem is detected when it is within 16 blocks of the villager.
- The villager scans for golems once every 10 seconds.
- The villager has not been near a summoning in the last 30 seconds.
- A villager is near a summoning when it is within 10 blocks of another villager who successfully summons an iron golem.
- When gossiping, at least 5 participants are needed.
- When panicking, at least 3 are needed.
- A valid spawn point for the golem is found.
In Bedrock Edition, iron golems are spawned in villages when the following requirements are met:
- The village has at least 20 beds and at least 10 villagers.
- 75% of the villagers must have worked in the past day.
- All of the villagers must be linked to a bed.
- The village must be within a player's simulation distance volume.
- There must be space to spawn an iron golem within a 16x6x16 volume around the village centre.
To prevent villagers from gossiping, they must be separated so that they are not within a 16x16x16 box of each other. This will prevent them from spreading major negative gossip to other villagers.

Villagers must not have been near a summoning in the last 30 seconds
For villagers to create an iron golem, they must not have been near a summoning in the last 30 seconds. This means that if a villager is within 10 blocks of another villager who successfully summons an iron golem, they themselves will not attempt to summon another iron golem for at least 30 seconds.
Villagers scan for iron golems within a 16-block radius every 10 seconds. If they detect an iron golem within this range, they will not attempt to summon another. This detection can occur even if the golem is behind a wall.
This criterion is important for players to keep in mind when attempting to create an iron farm. If the villagers are too close together, they may detect each other's summonings and not attempt to create more iron golems.

Villagers must not have detected an iron golem in the last 30 seconds
The villager must not have detected an iron golem in the last 30 seconds. This is because the villager scans for golems once every 10 seconds and the villager's "iron golem seen" counter resets to 600 ticks every 10 seconds. This means that if a villager detects an iron golem, the counter will reset and the villager will not attempt to spawn a new iron golem until the counter reaches 0 again.
The detection range for villagers is 16 blocks. This means that if an iron golem is within 16 blocks of a villager, the villager will detect it and the counter will reset. It is important to note that the detection range for villagers upgraded from 1.21.1 or earlier is greater than 16 blocks and can be up to 45 blocks.
To prevent villagers from detecting an iron golem, it is important to keep the iron golem outside of the detection range. This can be done by placing the iron golem more than 16 blocks away from the villagers. Additionally, using a mod such as gnembon's Carpet mod can help you see the villager's "iron golem seen" counter and determine when the villager will attempt to spawn a new iron golem.

A suitable spawn point must be available
To spawn an iron golem, a suitable spawn point must be available. This means that there must be enough space for the iron golem to generate. As they are three blocks tall, there must be ample space around the villagers.
In the Bedrock Edition, an iron golem can spawn naturally when a village is first generated in the world. The golem attempts to spawn in a 17x13x17 volume, ±8 blocks horizontally and ±6 blocks vertically from the village's centre block, which can be a bed pillow or a bell. First, X and Z coordinates are randomly chosen within the spawn volume, then the highest block at those coordinates within the spawn volume is found. If it is a block with a full top surface—which includes upside-down stairs and top slabs (but not glass)—and there is no obstruction above it by a block above the spawn volume, then the golem is spawned there. Otherwise, the spawn attempt is cancelled.
In the Java Edition, a villager can attempt to spawn an iron golem while not having a golem alive within a box of a 16-block radius around the villager and more than 30 seconds have passed. An iron golem needs an available volume in which to spawn. There must be at least three transparent blocks above the spawning surface, and that surface must be solid and flat (but not a bottom slab).

Frequently asked questions
Yes, villagers need to have slept in the last 20 minutes to spawn iron golems.
Villagers must be gossiping or panicking. When gossiping, at least five villagers need to be within a 10-block radius. When panicking, only three are required to be within a 10-block radius. Additionally, the villager must not have detected an iron golem or a summoning in the last 30 seconds and there must be a suitable spawn point available.
There is a 1/700 chance of an iron golem spawn attempt during each game tick when the conditions are met, which averages to one spawn attempt every 35 seconds.
Iron golem farming is preferable to other methods of iron farming from zombies and skeletons due to a much higher chance of iron dropping and therefore much higher quantities of iron.
Iron golem farming uses village mechanics to produce iron and poppies. Usually, an iron golem farm is a player-constructed village in which golems are spawned and then either killed immediately or moved to a holding cell outside the village boundary for later killing.
