How to Build a Golem Defense Squad for Your Base

Each golem in this mod fills a different combat role. Mixing them gives your base far better protection than spamming one type.

Pick Your Roles

• Gold Golem (200 HP): Your ranged defender. It shoots long-range laser beams that deal extra damage to undead mobs. That makes it ideal against zombies and skeletons attacking at night. Place it where it has clear sightlines over your walls or fields.
• Diamond Golem (500 HP): Your tank. When it is sitting down, it absorbs damage dealt to nearby allies. Park it in the middle of your defenders so they stay inside its range.
• Terracotta / Clay Golems (40 HP): Front-line fighters. Give them armor and weapons and post them at entrances.
• Special Snow Golem (4 HP): Light support. Its snowballs only deal 1 damage, but it takes no damage from rain, so it won't melt away in bad weather.

Setting It Up

1. Light up the area first so you aren't fighting fresh spawns while you build.

2. Summon the Diamond Golem near the center and have it sit.

3. Place Gold Golems on the outer edge, covering the most open approaches.

4. Station armored humanoid golems at doors and gaps.

5. Add Snow Golems as cheap filler.

The Special Iron Golem follows you around. Bring it along on trips instead of leaving it on guard duty.
