Straw Golem
by t2pellet
With Straw Golem, a farm gains a small golem that helps out with farm work and ages over time.
What it does
The golem usually finds an available chest it owns on its own. When more than one chest is nearby, it chooses which chest to use. Its life runs in stages: after about 10 minutes there is a 1 in 5 chance that it starts to decay. It passes through four decay states, with a new dying stage at the end, and its maximum lifespan is lowered as it ages. Exposure to rain or standing in water shortens the lifespan faster, and the golem shivers when it is rained on or wet and cold. A Straw Hat protects it from rain when it is placed in a building. Enough damage also makes it decay, and as it approaches old age its texture changes and flies start to hover around it.
The mod is built for farms in survival worlds and for multiplayer servers where the golem can be kept under cover. It needs Fabric API on Fabric, Geckolib and Haybale on every loader, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across the 1.18 line through 1.19.2, under a custom license that is not open source.
