Straw Golem Unofficial Extended Life
Straw Golem Unofficial Extended Life is a Forge fork that lets a spawnable straw golem harvest full grown crops on 1.12.2.
What it does
The golem is a spawnable mob that walks through a field and harvests crops once they are fully grown. It flees when hostile mobs come near, and it cannot pick up the drops it produces. The fork was made because the original Straw Golem stopped receiving updates, and it only fixes bugs found in that version.
Crops from other mods are supported when those mods extend the vanilla crop block class. The author reports that Roots, Pam's HarvestCraft, Additions, Mystical Agriculture and PizzaCraft work with it, and says compatibility with other crop mods has to be tested on each setup.
The mod is for Forge 1.12.2 only. Its latest file, 1.4.2, was published on 2025-06-06, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Crop harvesting golem
A straw golem spawns in the world and harvests full grown crops in its area without player input.
Flight from hostiles
The golem retreats when hostile mobs approach, so it can be kept out of danger while it works.
Drops left on the ground
The golem cannot pick up the items it harvests, so players collect the drops themselves.

What the author says
This is a Fork of "Straw Golem" since it didn't receive an update in forever, and is only here to fix a bug that probably will never be fixed otherwise. Furthermore as stated by the original author, we can do whatever we want with his mod at this point. I know that there is "Straw Golem Reborn" but it only supports…
