How to build an iron farm in Minecraft (26.x)
Place an Oak Trapdoor in each of the 3 gap blocks at level 7 by clicking the upper half of the cobblestone's side.

This hatch is made of the common oak of forests and plains. A trapdoor is a one-block hatch that swings open with a click or a redstone signal.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 6 × Oak Planks. It is mined with an axe. As fuel it burns for 15 seconds in a Furnace, enough to smelt 1.5 items.
Six planks make two trapdoors. Placed against the lower or upper half of a block, a trapdoor sits at the bottom or the top of its space, and it swings up or down when opened. Above a ladder it can be climbed through, and closed it blocks the way.
Builders use trapdoors as shutters, table tops and fake windows, and in farms mobs treat an open trapdoor as solid ground, a classic way to lure them over a drop. They can hold water, and Nether trapdoors never burn.
