Tameable Golems

Right-clicking an untamed iron golem while holding a poppy turns it into a companion that follows the player through the world and defends them. A tamed golem attacks whatever hurts its owner, keeps up through forests and caves, and can be told to stay in place with a sit command. Taming needs only one flower, not a breeding routine or rare items, and the chance of success is high enough that a single click is usually enough.

The Golem Guard mode makes a tamed golem patrol a 5x5 area around its owner and attack threats within it. The mod is built around the original iron golem, so the companion keeps its normal behavior and appearance. Golems can also be built as statues from iron blocks and a carved pumpkin, then set off with a poppy in hand to create a guardian that strikes back. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed; files were first published on 2026-05-15 and last updated on 2026-06-01.
