Villager Heal Golem
Villager Heal Golem makes nearby villagers restore Iron Golems that have been hurt, so golems can keep guarding a village.
What it does
When an Iron Golem stands close to a villager, the villager can heal it by 4 health points, which is 2 hearts. The healing effect is applied automatically about every 3 seconds, so a golem that takes damage while defending a village recovers without a player stepping in. The idea is that villagers look after the golems that protect them.
The mod is installed on a server, and only the server needs it, so players join without adding anything to their own game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available for servers that run datapacks. Builds cover 1.21.9 – 26.3, with eight release versions and snapshot builds published alongside them. The latest file is 1.7.3+mod for 26.3, dated 2026-10-13.
The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and the mod is not open source. An issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project for bug reports and documentation.
