Snow golem Backport (StationAPI)

by FarnGitHub

Snow golem Backport brings the snow golem from later Minecraft versions back to beta on Fabric and Babric, with StationAPI as the required base.

FabricBabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen sourceb1.7.3

What it does

The backport restores the snow golem as a mob that can take damage from water and rain and that drops its pumpkin when it dies. Players can remove the pumpkin from a snow golem with shears, and put a pumpkin back on it afterwards. Multiplayer is supported, so the golem behaves the same on a server as in single-player.

Installation needs StationAPI, which the mod requires, and a Fabric or Babric loader. The mod is published for b1.7.3 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Backported snow golem

    The snow golem is brought over from later versions to an older beta build, with some changes from the original.

  2. Pumpkin removal with shears

    Shears take the pumpkin off a snow golem, and the pumpkin can be placed back on the golem later.

  3. Water and rain damage

    The snow golem takes damage when it is in water or rain, which limits where it can stay.

  4. Pumpkin drop on death

    A snow golem drops its pumpkin when it dies, so the item can be collected from a defeated golem.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.
