TotemAutomata
by Yunitrish
TotemAutomata reshapes the copper golems already in vanilla Minecraft into sorting and gathering workers that can be set up with manual filters, tools and feeding for furnaces.
What it does
A copper golem is given a home by right-clicking it with a copper wrench and then a copper chest. The home chest holds the golem's fuel, its destinations and the work area it may scan, which can reach up to 64 blocks per axis and covers only loaded chunks. Bindings stay within one dimension, and the golem must be stopped before its mode can be changed.
Sorting and gathering rules are set through a GUI, and manual rules work on their own. An optional language-model step can help interpret sorting and gathering instructions when an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, key and model are configured for each golem. Once a classification has been made, the result is stored and can be changed later in the GUI; every sorting destination or gathering task may have a prompt of its own, and hand-set targets are applied before any prompt.
Golems can also feed working furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces, with each input following its recipe. Fuel goes in the fuel slot and results stay in the output slots. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and requires Fabric API. Totem Excavation is optional, and the mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.2 and 26.3.
Key features
Configurable golem sorting
Copper golems sort items into chosen destinations, with filters set in the golem's GUI.
Gathering with work areas
Golems collect items from a work area they scan, and carried items can be retrieved from storage.
Furnace feeding
Working furnaces, smokers and blast furnaces receive inputs that match their recipes, while fuel is added through the GUI.
Copper wrench crafting
The copper wrench is crafted from three copper ingots and one stick, and it is used to select and open golem management.

How it compares
Furnaces Galore is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 – 26.3 that works on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers furnaces rather than golems. Coal Chunk Loader is server-side only, open source under the Apache License 2.0, and published for 1.21 – 26.2, so players can join without installing it. Copper Golem Helpers is server required with an optional client and is not open source, covering 26.1 – 26.2.

What the author says
Turn vanilla copper golems into configurable sorting and gathering helpers. Give each golem a home copper chest, fuel, destinations or a work area, then choose what it should move or collect. Manual rules work without an AI account; optional language-model classification can help interpret your sorting and gathering…
