Extra Golems Mod — Guide
Getting Started
To begin building your army, you must first craft the essential magical components required to animate inanimate blocks.
Essential Items
| Item | Recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Golem Spell | 1 Feather + 1 Redstone + 1 Ink Sac + 1 Paper | The core magical component used to create Golem Heads. |
| Golem Head | 1 Golem Spell + 1 Carved Pumpkin | The final block placed on a golem body to bring it to life. |
| Golem Guide | 1 Book + 1 Carved Pumpkin | An in-game manual providing details on every golem type and its stats. |
Golem Construction
Building an Extra Golem follows the same physical logic as the vanilla Iron Golem.
- The Body: Place four blocks of your chosen material in a 'T' shape (one block on the ground, three across the top).
- The Head: Place a Golem Head (crafted with a Golem Spell) on the center top block.
- Activation: Once the head is placed, the structure will transform into a living golem.
Note: Some golems, like the Slimy Golem, may require specific block variants to function.

Mechanics & Behavior
General Behavior
All golems created through this mod behave similarly to vanilla Iron Golems. They are naturally protective of players and villagers, attacking hostile mobs on sight.
Healing
You can heal a golem by right-clicking it with the block it was made from (e.g., use a Diamond to heal a Diamond Golem). This feature can be toggled in the configuration.
Special Interactions
- Wool Golems: Right-click with dye to change their color.
- Log Golems: Right-click to cycle through different wood textures (Oak, Spruce, etc.).
- Redstone Lamp Golems: Right-click to toggle their light on or off.
- Holiday Skins: Golems may change their appearance during certain real-world holidays (like Halloween or Christmas).
