Build an Iron Golem Bouncer to Guard Your Base

This pack is themed around golems as guards that protect areas and properties. An Iron Golem posted at your front door is the classic way to show it off. You build the golem with the normal vanilla method, and the pack handles the armored, robot-like look.

Build the golem

1. Gather 4 Iron Blocks and 1 Carved Pumpkin. Make the carved pumpkin by using shears on a pumpkin.

2. Place one iron block on the ground and a second iron block on top of it.

3. Place one iron block on each side of the top block to make a T shape. Keep the spaces beside the bottom block empty.

4. Place the carved pumpkin on top of the center block last. The golem spawns immediately.

You can use a Jack o'Lantern instead of a carved pumpkin.

Post it like a real bouncer

• Build it right at your entrance. A golem you build yourself won't turn hostile toward you.
• Iron Golems wander, so fence in a small yard around the doorway. This keeps your guard on duty where you can see it.
• Light the area well so you can see the pack's armored design at night. Good lighting also keeps hostile mobs from spawning inside the pen.
• For a gate crew, build two golems flanking the door.

Iron Golems attack hostile mobs that come close, so your guard is useful as well as decorative.
