iron RNG
by codw
iron RNG gives spawned Iron Golems a random rarity tier, from Broken up to Legendary, with stats adjusted to match.
What it does
Each Iron Golem that spawns receives one of several rarity levels: Broken, Rare, Epic or Legendary. The tier determines how strong the golem is, so two golems in the same village can differ noticeably. Attributes are applied automatically at spawn, and no setup is needed once the mod is in place.
Golems can be created with the usual spawn methods or the summon command, and each one still gets a rarity. Players who want to check a golem can right-click it and read its rarity and current stats in chat. The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and is published for the 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 range, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. Only the client and the server need it, so the mod sits on both sides of a connection. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Varied village defenders
Golems that differ in strength make a village's defenders less uniform, so some stand out.
Testing with the summon command
Summoned golems receive a rarity too, which helps when checking how each tier behaves in a world.
Who it’s for: Players who want Iron Golems with different strengths in survival worlds, and server owners running Forge who want the same golem variety for all players.
