🛡 ️Iron Golem's Regenerate

Current Version : 1.3 for Forge 1.16.5 & 1.20.1

✅✅✅ NEW FEATURES!!!!! ✅✅✅

Iron Golems Regenerate is a lightweight, server-friendly Forge mod that improves village defense by giving Iron Golems natural health regeneration under realistic and configurable conditions.

Instead of Iron Golems slowly dying off after raids, zombie attacks, or long-term wear, this mod allows them to recover health over time, making villages feel more alive, resilient, and self-sustaining — without turning golems into invincible tanks.

✨ Core Features ❤️ Natural Iron Golem Regeneration

Iron Golems periodically regenerate health when conditions are met. The healing amount is modest and balanced, restoring 2 hearts per regeneration cycle by default.

🏘️ Village-Only Behavior

Regeneration only occurs when an Iron Golem is:

Inside a valid village

Actively protecting villagers

This ensures the feature feels immersive and lore-friendly, not global or artificial.

☀️ Daytime-Only Regeneration

Iron Golems regenerate only during the day.

At night, golems remain vulnerable — preserving danger during raids, sieges, and monster attacks.

👥 Villager-Powered Boost

The presence of villagers directly influences regeneration speed:

Few or no villagers nearby → normal regeneration rate

Multiple villagers nearby → faster regeneration

This creates a meaningful relationship between villagers and their protectors — the healthier the village, the stronger its defense.

💖 Visual Healing Feedback

When an Iron Golem regenerates:

❤️ Heart particles appear above it

Makes healing clearly visible and satisfying

Helps players understand when and why regeneration happens

⚙️ Fully Configurable (Server-Friendly)

All major settings can be adjusted via a Forge config file:

Base regeneration interval

Accelerated regeneration interval

Healing amount per cycle

No client-side configuration required — perfect for servers and modpacks.

Condition Healing Interval
