Minecraft | How do Iron Golems spawn? (1.14)

If you have been to a village in the newer patches, you will notice that the villagers will gather at a certain point in the city and appear to be talking to each other. This is "gossiping" - they are speaking in their honking language of your reputation and other facts about the world. One such topic of discussion may be the need for an Iron Golem.
Minecraft | Minimum requirements and mechanics of Iron Golem (1.14)
Here's what you probably care about the most in our Minecraft How Iron Golems Are Generated: The Minimum Requirements. This is what you will need according to the Minecraft wiki:
- 5 (or more) villagers
- Beds and jobs for 5+ villagers
- Time
The villager who starts the gossip about the need for an Iron Golem must have a profession, have recently slept and been at his job recently. If all of these criteria are met, there is a chance that an iron golem will appear. Essentially, the minimum requirements for villagers have been halved, possibly due to the slightly higher difficulty and greater variety of enemies such as looters in the new patch.
The Iron Golem will then have a chance to spawn in a 16 by 16 by 6 by 6 area around the villager who started the gossip. Most importantly, larger villages can result in more Iron Golems patrolling the area, providing even more safety against zombies and other evil creatures.
