Focused Village Golems
Village-spawned iron golems will only attack mobs that are threats to villagers
About this Mod
This mod makes village-spawned iron golems ignore non-threats to villagers, such as spiders and skeletons. Likewise, non-threats to villagers will also ignore these golems.
This is useful for helping village iron golems from dying so early.
Attacking behaviors between player-made iron golems and other mobs are not affected by this mod.
Note:
Iron golems spawned through commands are not considered player-made. There was no easy fix for me to do this. I might attempt to correct this if there is enough support.
You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the Modrinth ecosystem.
You may also freely port this mod to a different version/modloader, as long as you reference the original mod and it is hosted within the Modrith ecosystem
