Diamethyst Golem
by mc-goodch
Diamethyst Golem adds iron-style golems made of diamethyst that patrol villages and can be healed with diamethyst crystals and shards.
What it does
Diamethyst golems are spawned as a mob that patrols villages and defends them. Their speed, attack damage, health, knockback resistance and friendliness are set in the config, so a server owner can tune them. A player can also receive a diamethyst cluster from a golem by right-clicking it with an empty hand, and a golem can be healed with diamethyst crystals or shards.
The mod needs Diamethysts! to run, and it works without the optional official add-on Diamethysts mod. Automated golem creation through dispensers is supported. Both the client and the server need the mod installed, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files cover seven release versions, including 1.20.1 for Forge and 1.21.1 for NeoForge.

Use cases
Village defense
Golems patrol villages, so a settlement has guards that spawn and keep working without the player's direct control.
Automated builds
Golem creation through dispensers lets a player set up a farm or a defensive line without crafting each golem by hand.
Who it’s for: Players who want village defenders in a Forge or NeoForge world, and server owners who want to adjust golem stats through the config.

This is an official add-on to the Diamethysts mod. The Diamethysts mod is a required dependency and this mod will not work without it. This mod adds a living, breathing (maybe), larger than life golem made of pure diamethyst. The golem is fast, strong, robust, and healthy. Adding one to a village will provide an…
