Golems++

by hidoni

Golems++ changes several small behaviors of snow and iron golems, from their heads and glow to how they defend and what they give players.

FabricForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.3 – 1.19.4

What it does

Golems++ tweaks how golems behave in a world. Shears used on a carved pumpkin give a snow golem a new head item, and snow golems with a regular pumpkin head will target hostile mobs. A Jack o'Lantern placed on a snow golem makes it glow in the dark. Player-built iron golems can also hand out poppies, much as village golems do.

The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric and Forge. Both the server and every player need it, since the changes affect the golems themselves. Files are published for Minecraft 1.19.3 and 1.19.4, with 1.0.0 as the latest release on both loaders, dated 2023-03-17. The source code is public, under the MIT License, and the issue tracker is open for reports.

Key features

  1. Shears give a new snow golem head

    Shearing a carved pumpkin with shears can produce a new head item for the snow golem, changing its appearance.

  2. Snow golems with pumpkins attack mobs

    A snow golem wearing a regular pumpkin head targets hostile mobs, giving it a defensive role.

  3. Glowing snow golems

    Placing a Jack o'Lantern on a snow golem makes it glow, so it stays visible in dark areas.

  4. Poppies from iron golems

    Iron golems built by a player offer poppies to players, in the same way village iron golems do.
