OreGolems

Ore Golems adds 40+ ore and material themed iron golem variants to minecraft!

Each golem is built from its matching block, has its own stats and visuals, and vanilla-based golems also have unique special effects to make them feel different in combat.

The mod also adds:

– same-variant breeding with each golem’s block
– cross-breeding that uses the child golem’s block
– baby golems that inherit half of their parents’ health and armor before growing into adults
– spawn egg tooltips that show each golem’s special effect
– JEI support for summoning and breeding recipes

Datapack / KubeJS Example

Ore Golems can be extended through datapacks or KubeJS by adding JSON files.

Folders used by Ore Golems:
– data/<namespace>/ore_golems/
– data/<namespace>/ore_golem_extensions/
– data/<namespace>/ore_golem_breeding/

KubeJS users can place the same files under:
– kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golems/
– kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golem_extensions/
– kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golem_breeding/

Use your own namespace, such as yourpack, for custom files.
