Slime Golems
by Kinomora
Slime Golems adds a golem made of slime that lays slime layers on the ground and attacks hostile mobs, first published for Forge in June 2022.
What it does
A Slime Golem leaves thin slime layers behind as it moves, and those layers can be broken by hand to collect slimeballs. Players can also add slime layers by right-clicking with slimeballs, and the layers behave like snow layers. Slime layers stacked between two and eight tall act like bouncy slime blocks, and an eight-layer stack turns into a full vanilla slime block when right-clicked with a final slimeball. The mod makes slime farmable through this cycle.
Regular Slime Golems target hostile mobs and inflict strong Slowness on a hit, while a Rocky Slime Golem deals a small amount of damage on each attack and also applies Slowness. A Rocky Slime Golem is created by right-clicking a Slime Golem with cobblestone. Slime Golems take damage from rain, and water and rain harm exposed golems. Config options let server owners disable Rocky Golems, enable hurt when wet, enable conditional slime layers so they only appear in Swampy Biomes and Slime Chunks, and change aggression behavior.
The mod is published for Forge across 4 release versions, 1.15.2 – 1.19, and the latest file is 1.19.0-01 for 1.19. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the mod is open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.
