About this Mod
Helpful Armorers
Helpful Armorers is a Minecraft Fabric mod that gives armorer villagers a new useful behavior: they can repair damaged iron golems.
When an armorer finds a nearby injured iron golem, it will approach the golem while holding an iron ingot and repair it. Armorers are careful, though — they will avoid repairing during dangerous situations, at night, or after taking damage.

How It Works
If there is a damaged iron golem nearby, the armorer will try to approach it.
The armorer will hold an iron ingot and repair the golem when close enough.
If hostile mobs are nearby, if it is night, or if the armorer takes damage, the repair behavior is cancelled.
