Special Golems Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I find Laslem's Pumpkin?
Laslem's Pumpkin is found in underground structures in the Overworld, so explore caves and buried structures and check what they contain. You need it to summon every new golem the mod adds.
Why won't a normal pumpkin summon the new golems?
All of the mod's new golems require Laslem's Pumpkin as their summoning item, so a regular carved pumpkin won't work. Find a Laslem's Pumpkin in an underground Overworld structure first.
How do I summon a specific golem like the Gold or Lapis Golem?
Each of the eight golems has its own summoning requirements built from its material, such as lapis resources for the Lapis Golem, combined with Laslem's Pumpkin. Check the individual golem's summoning requirements before you start building.
Can I give my golems swords and armor?
Yes, but only the humanoid Terracotta and Clay Golems can wear standard armor and wield standard weapons. Both start with 40 health, so gearing them up makes a big difference in fights.
My Diamond Golem isn't protecting anyone, is it bugged?
The Diamond Golem only absorbs damage dealt to nearby allies while it is sitting down. Make sure it's seated and that your allies stay close to it. Its 500 health lets it soak a lot of hits.
Which golem is best against zombies and skeletons?
The Gold Golem is the best choice. It fires long-range laser beams that deal extra damage to undead mobs and has 200 health to stay in the fight.
How do the Emerald Golem's parts work?
The Emerald Golem is made of three separate parts. The Head (30 HP) prevents fatal damage to allies, the Chest (50 HP) heals allies, and the Legs (70 HP) combine or separate the parts. Splitting it up lets each part support a different ally.
What's different about the Special Iron Golem compared to a vanilla one?
The Special Iron Golem has 100 health, follows you around, and sprints straight toward its targets. That makes it a good escort for adventuring instead of a stationary village guard.
Does the Special Snow Golem melt in the rain?
No, the Special Snow Golem takes no damage from rain. It only has 4 health and its snowballs deal 1 damage, so keep it behind sturdier golems.
Do I need the mod on both the server and the client?
Yes. The mod adds new entities with custom models, so it needs to be installed on the server and on every player's client for the golems to work and display properly.
