Golem Overhaul
by Joo5h
With Golem Overhaul, nine new golem types join the world, each with its own set of mechanics and stats.
What it does
The mod adds nine golem types to Minecraft, and each one behaves differently in combat, movement or utility. The stats for every golem are shown in the images that the author publishes with the project. Required dependencies are Architectury API, Fabric API, Geckolib, Resourceful Config and Resourceful Lib, so all five must be present before the mod loads.
Installation covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Client and server both need the mod, since it changes entities that the server spawns and players see. Alex's Mobs, Just Enough Items, Mod Menu and Roughly Enough Items are optional and add integration when present. The mod is published under All rights reserved, and its source code and issue tracker are linked publicly.

Who it’s for: Players who want more golem variety in survival worlds and server owners who host groups that build golem farms or village defenses.
