Victor's Netherite Golems
by victor_101
Victor's Netherite Golems adds a reinforced iron golem with netherite plating on its fists, which knocks hostile mobs back hard.
What it does
The mod adds two new golem variants for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1. The Netherite-Fisted Golem is a classic iron golem with custom textures and netherite designs, and its fists send hostile mobs flying, which suits defending bases during raids. Crafting one takes 3 iron blocks, a netherite block and a carved pumpkin, and the spawn egg is listed under the Spawn Eggs tab in Creative mode.
The golem has 150.0 HP, which equals 75 hearts, and it carries its own attack damage and movement speed values. Because it is built from netherite, it needs more iron ingots to repair than a regular iron golem, but it is repaired with iron ingots in the same way. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published only for 1.20.1.
Installing the mod requires Forge. Fresh Animations, [EMF] Entity Model Features and [ETF] Entity Texture Features are optional dependencies that can change how the golems look and animate. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

You can repair both golems with iron ingots, just like regular iron golems. However, because they are made with netherite and have much more health, you will need more…
