Golems added to the official game client. For this reason, you won’t have to download a separate Iron Golem mod.

However, such a mob will protect the villagers, and the Golem will not pay any attention to the player. What to do in this case? How to Train Your Iron Golem? Unfortunately, if he is attached to the village, he will be betrayed by the inhabitants. However, do not be upset. After all, the game has the opportunity to create your own iron bodyguard.
In order to spoil the Golem, you will need 36 iron ingots and a pumpkin (you can use Jack's lamp instead). 4 iron blocks must be made of ingots. Then the player must expose them in the form of the letter T. Having done this, you need to place the pumpkin on top of the resulting structure (it is worth noting that the pumpkin needs to be placed last). That's all! The golem has spawned, and now it protects the player.
Behavior
Like any other creature in Minecraft, the Golem has its own habits. In peacetime, this mob slowly walks around the neighborhood. If you attack the Golem, he will begin to rapidly approach the offender and attack him. The beat animation is accompanied by a waving of the hands. The golem is one of the most powerful mobs in the game. When attacking, they throw the enemy into the air, so the enemy takes damage from the fall. It is also worth noting that Golems do not take damage from falling. However, even they have weaknesses. For example, they, like other creatures in Minecraft, take damage from poison, lava and fire. Another Golem weakness is water. If a creature falls into a body of water, then it cannot get out of there. This provides a good layer for creating traps.
Relation to other mobs
In general, this mob is an extremely friendly creature. For example, village Golems carry a poppy in their hand and from time to time give it to local children as a sign of friendly relations. But with all this, the Iron Golem is extremely aggressive towards enemies. He maintains a neutral attitude only to wolves. An artificially created Golem will never hit its master. However, the village may well attack the player if his reputation is less than fifteen points.
Battle tactics
If the player still attacked the Golem, then it is necessary to use special tactics in order to defeat the iron bodyguard. Fighting is necessary only with good equipment. Do not rush about the area and even more so turn your back to the Golem. These creatures are very slow and forgetful. It is for this reason that they can be killed simply by brandishing a sword. If you do not have weapons, then you can protect yourself from the attack of the Golem. To do this, you need to put three blocks for yourself. In this case, he simply will not be able to get you, because his growth is only 2.9 blocks. By the way, this mob can be attacked directly from this design. Bow is a great weapon against Golems. This creature is very slow, so getting into it with an arrow is not difficult.
Another assistant in the fight against the iron bodyguard is water. You can lure a creature into a body of water and there, without any particular problems, kill the Golem. It is also worth considering some feature of these creatures. If there are several Golems in the village, then when attacking one, the others will not react in any way. If you attack a resident, then in this case all Golems will immediately rush to his defense. Among other things, it is worth noting that when killing an iron bodyguard, the attitude of residents to the player deteriorates. And this, in turn, is fraught with failures in trade relations. Therefore, in order not to pollute your reputation, you can kill Golems indirectly. For example, pour a creature lava bucket straight under your feet.
Application
Since the Iron Golem is an incredibly powerful creature, it is advisable to use it for protection. In addition, this mob can be used to farm iron. After all, after death, several ingots fall out of it. In order to extract iron, players build special traps to kill Golems. In addition, you can throw an iron bodyguard into hell through the portal. In this case, he begins to fight with pig people. After they defeat the Golem, you can safely pick up the ingots and remain at the same time with a spotless reputation.
