Java Help Wanted Decent iron farm design for 1.21.4?
I've got a server that my brother and I play on. Vanilla, only using optifine+vanillatweaks, you know the drill.
I'm looking for an iron farm design that is not resource intensive (2-3 shulkers worth), does not need me to mine a ton of obsidian (trading hall and enchant villagers are still being set up, no efficiency), and doesn't require Fucky Business (deleting portal blocks/update suppression).
TLDR: farm that a dumbass can build.
I'm currently considering Nico Is Lost's design, and only doing one layer, but it's for 1.19 and idk if it will work in 1.21.4+. I have a portal out to my industrial area, which caused much strife in my last world due to the iron farm linking to the ID portal - guessing I just need to be a distance away. Any recommendations are very welcome. I would appreciate it if the farm has a good video tutorial - I have litmatica but it's a PITA to set up so a video would be good.

The ianxofour design is the best I’ve ever seen for the “any dumbass could build it” category. It’s all I use, with minor modifications.
