Wearable Copper Golems
by KiwiFish
Wearable Copper Golems lets players put copper golem statues on their heads as helmets, with a datapack that changes only the statue loot tables.
What it does
Copper golem statue blocks become equippable player heads. A statue is worn by breaking it, then right-clicking to place it on the head slot, and it can be removed the same way. A datapack handles the change, so no code is added to the game. Because it only edits loot tables, it has no effect on other content. The server must run the datapack, while players may skip it. Installation is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack. Files cover 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, and the code is under All rights reserved, not open source.
Key features
Wearable statues
Copper golem statues can be worn as helmets after being broken and right-clicked onto the head slot.
Datapack-based change
The effect comes from a datapack that alters only the copper golem statue loot tables, leaving the rest of the game untouched.
Dispenser behavior
Statues dispensed from a dispenser are swapped rather than placed as normal blocks, as the author notes.

What the author says
A simple datapack that makes Copper Golem Statues wearable. Also available as packaged mods for various mod loaders. Since this datapack only changes the copper golem statue loot tables, it has absolutely zero impact on performance.
