Nerf Iron farms - Replace with Pillager farms

I like what you are doing with the villagers.  The pre-1.14 game encourages treating villagers poorly.  Modifying the game to encourage treating the villagers kindly seems like a good change.

 

I also understand the technical minecrafters still need a mechanic in game for getting large amounts of iron.  It seems like there is already precedent for this kind of farm as seen in the Witch farms dropping redstone and the Zombie pigman farms dropping gold in various forms.  

 

My suggestion is to make the pillagers drop iron at a reasonable rate.  The pillager towers are a reliable way to get pillagers to spawn and if they drop iron like zombie pigmen drop gold, it would make for a compelling way for technical minecrafters to get iron from a more 'ethical' source.

    That sounds like a much better idea, than nurfing golem farms, without an alternative.

    Thank you please. Super needed for me. I am a type of minecrafter who playes without killing friendly mobs, but need vast quantities of iron as a technical man, so am caught in my morale dilemma. With this I will be able to play this sandbox game much better.

    OR, have villagers sell Iron, and the Pillagers drop emeralds still.

    I think both this and some other sources of iron are quite warranted. Iron is a very important resource, especially for me as I'm a casual player who relies heavily on iron for many purposes, especially tools. Villager trading for ores could be another new source, along with this.
