What it does

Expressive Golems adds more faces for Snow Golems. Shears remove the pumpkin from a Snow Golem, and the golem then shows one of ten faces, including the vanilla default and faces inspired by creepers, pandas, slimes, spiders, striders and happy ghasts. A version based on Scar is also included, and the mod comes with the full set of faces listed in its description.

The mod is for NeoForge only, with one release line covering 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 across three game versions: 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2. The latest file is 2.0.0 for 26.1.2, published in the beta channel on 2026-04-22. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Key features

  1. Pumpkin-free Snow Golems

    Snow Golems can be shown without the pumpkin head, which removes the default look and lets the face appear.

  2. Ten selectable faces

    The mod provides ten different faces for Snow Golems, from the vanilla default to creeper, panda, slime, spider and strider styles.

  3. Themed face variants

    Faces inspired by the happy ghast and by Scar are included among the options.

  4. Shears to remove the pumpkin

    Using shears on a Snow Golem takes off its pumpkin, so the face option becomes visible.
