Golems Kill Creepers

by TerminalMC

Golems Kill Creepers lets Iron Golems attack and instakill Creepers through two gamerules, so a server can turn the behavior on and off.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyApache License 2.0Open source1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

Two gamerules control the behavior. One decides whether Iron Golems actively target Creepers, and the other decides whether their attacks deal maximum damage to Creepers. Both are set by the server, so players can play with the default behavior or with Creepers under golem attack.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds listed for the 1.19.2 – 26.3 range and snapshot builds available alongside the release versions. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Golem targeting gamerule

    A gamerule controls whether Iron Golems actively seek out Creepers and attack them.

  2. Instakill gamerule

    A second gamerule makes Iron Golem attacks deal maximum damage to Creepers, removing them in one hit.

  3. Server-side behavior

    Both rules are set in the server world, so clients need nothing and servers choose whether the behavior applies.
