Copper Companions
by dev23ny
Copper Companions adds copper golems that wander the world, pick up dropped items and put music discs into jukeboxes.
What it does
Copper golems in this mod search a set area around themselves for loose items. When an item is old enough to be collected, a golem walks over, picks it up and carries on. The search radius, search height, pickup range and retry limits are all set in the config file, so a server owner can tune how far the golems reach and how long they wait before giving up on a stuck path.
Golems also handle music. A music disc placed in reach of a golem can be taken to a nearby jukebox and inserted, so a row of jukeboxes can be filled without a player walking to each one. The mod is built for Minecraft 1.21.9 and needs Forge 59.0.1 or later on Forge, and it is published for NeoForge alongside. Both builds are for 1.21.9 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
