Golemania
Golemania is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 that adds a set of new golem types, each with its own appearance and abilities, along with a Golem Forge machine for building the more complex ones.
What it does
Golemania adds many new golems to the world. Some are built the way ordinary iron golems are, while the more complicated ones are made in the Golem Forge, a special machine assembled from cobblestone, bricks, a blast furnace and a redstone lamp. Golems can have distinct looks and abilities, serving as allies or as dangerous enemies depending on the type.
The Golem Forge needs a Golem Tablet placed in its tablet receptacle before it can create anything. A tablet is a small bone slab engraved with instructions, and it describes the golem to build. The forge's screen shows the materials required, which are placed into its furnace. Once the materials melt into liquid and are poured into the mould, the piston presses down and shapes the golem. The mould is reset with a cobblestone block placed against it.
Golemania requires Geckolib, and it runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it installed. The mod is published for Forge only and covers 1.16.5 alone. Its files are released under All rights reserved, so the license is not open source. Some mob animations may not play correctly, a GeckoLib issue the author states cannot be solved.
