Bettercoppergolem Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get copper golems to start sorting my storage?
Place copper golems near your storage area and let them pick up loose items from the ground. They'll automatically begin moving items into nearby chests and bundles based on their smart memory system—they don't need any special setup or commands.
Why do my copper golems keep checking the same chest over and over?
This usually means they're carrying a different item type than what's in that chest. The mod is designed to reduce this behavior, but make sure your chests are organized by item type so golems can find matching items faster.
What's the difference between how golems handle dyed and undyed bundles?
Dyed bundles are sorted by their color into matching chests, letting you color-code your storage system. Undyed bundles are only placed into a chest if that chest already contains a bundle with the exact same items inside.
Do copper golems sort shulker boxes the same way as bundles?
Yes—dyed shulker boxes are sorted by color just like dyed bundles, and they follow the same organization rules for keeping your storage system neat and color-coded.
Can I make copper golems carry more items at once?
Yes, you can adjust the golem carry capacity in the mod's configuration settings to let them hold more items before returning to deposit them.
What does 'Smart Memory' actually do?
Copper golems remember the last item type they moved and will prioritize moving that same item type next, reducing wasted trips and making sorting much faster.
Can I limit how many chests a golem will check?
Yes, the configuration allows you to set a maximum number of chests that a golem can visit, which helps prevent them from wandering too far or getting stuck in large storage rooms.
Do copper golems work with other storage mods?
Copper golems interact with standard chests and bundles/shulker boxes; compatibility with other storage mods depends on whether those mods use vanilla chest mechanics.
What happens if I have both dyed and undyed bundles in the same chest?
Golems will sort dyed bundles by color and place undyed bundles only if a matching undyed bundle already exists in that chest, so it's best to keep dyed and undyed bundles in separate storage areas.
Are there hidden features I can enable?
Yes, the configuration includes extra hidden features that change how your golems work—check the config file to see what alternative behaviors you can turn on.
