Better Copper Golem
by GHOSTSHAURMA
Better Copper Golem changes how copper golems choose and carry items, adding memory of the last moved stack and improved bundle and shulker box sorting on Fabric.
What it does
The mod tweaks the vanilla golem AI. A copper golem remembers the last item stack it moved and prefers to move items of the same type again, and it stops re-checking chests once it has committed to carrying one item type. Bundle and shulker box sorting is improved: golems place undyed bundles into a chest only when that chest already holds the bundle's most matching items, and a dyed bundle is sorted by its color.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs it. It is published for Fabric, with files covering 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Required dependencies: none are listed. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.8 for 26.1.2, dated 2026-06-11. Ledger Compatibility, a separate mod, requires Better Copper Golem.
Key features
Last-stack memory
Copper golems remember the item stack they moved last and prioritise moving items of the same type.
Improved bundle sorting
Undyed bundles are placed into chests only when the chest already holds the most matching items, and dyed bundles follow their color.
Shulker box handling
Golems apply the same sorting logic to shulker boxes as they do to bundles.
Optional config features
Some off-by-default options, such as golem carry capacity and the maximum number of chests a golem visits, can be changed in the config screen through Mod Menu.

Use cases
Sorting storage with golems
Servers with copper golem storage networks can keep same-type items grouped without manual redirection of each golem.
Who it’s for: Server owners running copper golem storage setups on Fabric, and players who want golems to handle bundles and shulker boxes more predictably.
