Special Golems
by Leo1011101
Special Golems adds ten golem types that players craft and summon with Laslem's Pumpkin, with some variants found in rare underground structures.
What it does
Each golem is built from two Terracotta or Clay blocks stacked under a Laslem's Pumpkin, and the build pattern shown in the mod places the blocks in that order. The set includes Terracotta and Clay golems, which are humanoid and can hold weapons and wear armor, while the Lapis Golem stays in place and fires a steady laser that slows and weakens targets.
Special golems are created only by summoning them with the pumpkin; they do not spawn naturally in the world. Rare golem structures appear in the overworld and hold loot, including the parts needed to build one. Installation requires Forge or NeoForge, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest builds for 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Underground golem structures
Rare structures in the overworld hold loot and the build pattern, so players must explore to find the parts.
