Spawn small golems that help defend your base
About this Mod
🤖 Advanced Golems
Advanced golem is a simple mod that adds in a small golem to help you defend an area from hostile mobs.
🛠️ Golem
To make a golem simply craft the golem spawner and right click on a block
A golem has an area of 9 blocks (default) centered around his home position in which he will attack mobs.
To configure your golem you need a golem controller
The golem controller allows you to remove a golem, change its home position or toggle between its modus of operation.
The golem has 4 modi of operation:
Aggressive: In this state the golems wanders around and attacks any mobs coming into the area
Waiting: The golems stays at his home position till a mob wanders in the area
Passive: The golem wanders around but will not attack anything
Standing: The golem stays at his home position and will not do anything else
Lastly golems are immortal (changeable in the config). Instead of dying they simply shut down and can be restarted with a golden apple.
🔩 Golem Upgrades
By itself the golem is pretty weak but you are able to give it various items to make it stronger.
First a golem can accept and use all normal weapons and armor.
Next it can also accept the following items with their respective effect. The items can be changed in the config.
Glistering Melon: Increases golem health
Diamond: Increases golem attack damage in addition to held item
Sugar: Increases move and fly speed. Can be applied up to 10 times
Obsidian: Increases knockback resistance
Ghast tear: Increases golems regenerative powers
Magma cream: Gives golem immunity to fire
Glass: Increases a golems home radius
Carved Pumpkin: Makes golem anger all nearby hostile mobs
Flint: Makes golems projectile only hurt what its targeting
Netherstar: Gives the golem a jetpack so he can fly around. If the golem has a ranged weapon he will try to hover above the mob though he is unable to do it very long without a pause.
Feather: Increases the fly duration of a golem during combat
