OK, I'm trying to attempt an iron farm. And I've got all the "villages" built, with 2 villagers in one of them, and 3 villagers in each of the other 3.i was just planning on breeding for the rest I needed. Well I just got my doors all in, and every set of villagers are going into love mode, showing hearts, but no baby villagers are ever born. I've sat here and watched for about 20 min now. They are attempting breeding very often, but no babies. Please help resolve!
This probably has to do with the new limit on villager breeding 4J added with TU13 (see TU13 changelog). All I can suggest is that you check out the rest of your map and count the villagers you have in other locations to determine if the world has likely high the villager limit. However, I'm sorry I don't know what that limit actually is now. If you have ample villagers in other locations, you can kill off a few to see if yours start producing babies or you can shove a few from the other villages into Minecarts and relocate them to your iron golem farm.
I've seen this happen since updating to TU13. Lots of hearts, no babies. However, if I wander off and do something else, eventually a baby appears. I think the villagers got a bit shy with TU13 and don't like breeding if you're watching them
Well I found the issue. There was a pre-tu13 village out of sight that had an insane amount of villagers. I slaughtered them all and finally got breeding and a golem to spawn. But now the issue seems to be the iron golems. I made the farm where I put a piston door in the center to hold on the golems so they could build up and I could come open the door and allow lava to kill them. But only one ever spawned. I heard the spawn rate was one every 6 minutes. I've explored my entire map and my farm is the only village left.
You have to move that iron golem away (don't remember the distance maybe 50 blocks) from the village. You can push him away with a water hallway then another one will spawn etc.
Is that with the tu13 update? Because I know pre-tu13 there were like ten in each village. Just unfamiliar with golem behavior as I've never played anywhere except on xbox, so they're pretty new to me

Yea in TU12 you could have ten iron golems but that was because there was no hard cap on the total number of villagers and they could 'infinite' spawn. With the new cap and fewer villagers the first one must be moved for max effectiveness.
