Utility Golems
Utility Golems extends the copper golem with a series of colourful golems, each built for a different job in the world.
What it does
The mod adds a set of golems that extend what Minecraft's copper golem can do, with fifteen varieties in total. Each variety has its own purpose, such as digging, and some are crafted from materials like lapis, amethyst, emerald and diamond. Items such as a wrench and a golem spawn egg are included, and the recipes for the golems are shown on the mod's layout rows.
Players who run a survival or creative world on Fabric can add the golems alongside vanilla content. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Installation needs only Fabric, and the files target game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric file, 1.4.7 for 26.2, published on 2026-07-28. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
