Obsidian Golem
by DaviKd
Obsidian Golem adds a heavy guardian built from Obsidian blocks, which players can craft to defend a base against hostile mobs.
What it does
The mod adds two custom golems built on the standard golem frame: an Obsidian Golem, made from four Obsidian Blocks topped with Obsidian, and a Nethersidian Golem, made from four Nethersidian Blocks topped with a Nethersidian Pumpkin. Both are crafted by the player and placed as base defenders.
Each golem targets hostile entities only. Players, villagers and allied golems are ignored, so the construct can stand among a settlement without attacking its own side. Every tenth consecutive attack triggers a large area-of-effect smash that reaches targets within a four-block radius, which suits dense groups of mobs.
The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with files for 26.1.2 and 26.2 and 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest build. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Two crafted golems
Obsidian and Nethersidian variants use different block and pumpkin materials on the same golem frame.
Hostile-only targeting
Players, villagers and allied golems are skipped, so only hostile entities take damage.
Area-of-effect smash
The tenth consecutive attack releases a radius-based strike against nearby targets.
Crafting gallery
A gallery section in the mod's listing shows the visual crafting recipes for both golems.

Use cases
Base defense
Players place the golems at the edge of a base or farm, where they engage hostile mobs that approach.
Dense mob groups
The area smash suits spawn-heavy spaces where several mobs stand within the four-block radius.
Who it’s for: Players who want a heavy defensive construct on Fabric, and server owners who want one that ignores their own players and villagers.
