YDM's Copper Golem
YDM's Copper Golem adds a copper golem mob that oxidizes, waxes and reacts to lightning, along with copper blocks and an egg-polish step for faster oxidation.
What it does
Copper golems in YDM's Copper Golem follow a tamed copper ingot holder and get healed with copper ingots. A golem that wanders too far from its owner keeps following. Golems oxidize over time like copper blocks, can be waxed with honeycomb to stop that, and can be sped up by applying egg polish with an axe. Lightning strikes near a golem redirect it, and an unwaxed golem that is struck by lightning deoxidizes. Golems sometimes rotate their heads, and a golem that is defeated can drop some copper ingots.
The mod also adds copper blocks in several forms, including cut copper stairs, slabs and a lightning rod, which can be placed in patterns where one block sits on top of another. A copper golem can push a button for about ten seconds. Both sides run the content, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, across 11 release versions, 1.18 – 1.21.5, under All rights reserved; it is not open source.
