Change Iron Golem Drops

In the new 1.14 update, iron golem farms got massively nerfed, with iron golems only able to be summoned at certain times under certain conditions. To allow for the new villager mechanics to continue, without hurting iron farms too much, I suggest iron golems instead drop 1-3 iron blocks instead of 3-5 iron ingots. In this way, iron golem farms can still be useful for more advanced players who put in the time and effort to make such a farm.

    The issue isn't for smaller golem farms, it's when you get to the big golem farms for large, professional servers that require a ton of iron. Lookup Tango Teks Iron Phoenix that produced 2600 iron/hr. This uses only around 45 villagers. To get the same output now requires around 400 villagers. Since Villagers are entities with AI, they use up a lot of system resources, so having 400 villagers in one area is going to cause a ton of server lag, if not cause the server to crash altogether. But, if Iron Golems dropped 1-3 iron blocks, you could drastically cut back on the villager requirements, even if it was just 1-2 iron blocks, it would still be a massive improvement, only requiring around 100 villagers, which still isn't great, but much more doable than 400.

    Just because a mob farm got nerfed doesn't mean it should be reinstalled. Please don't post stuff like this because Mojang wants to hear good ideas and not bad ones. Also they hate mob farms so this would never be fixed.

    You do realize that regular players without iron golem farms will just begin to kill regular iron golems now right? 3-4 blocks of iron is a LOT.

    Villagers could buy iron golems using emeralds ACTUALLY trading with the wandering trader and the player maybe with a ligit pastoralists economy as that would explain their farm size with more irl wild plants and crops at irl densities to make minecraft teach basic plant identification and survival skills. If they got politically involved with the war between carnivores omnivores and vegans that would be a huge pog just by making meat heal you faster.... ok its 6 am i need to sleep sorry for over focusing on realism im a hippy so i might hire someone to make a hyper realistic survival mod or something eventually
