Modular Golems FAQ

Craft a Golem Workbench first — it's the core block where you assemble golems from modular parts. Place it down, open it, and build a basic golem body before worrying about upgrades or weapons.

You combine modular parts at the Golem Workbench to form a golem body, then give it a head, arms, and legs depending on the golem type you want. Start with a simple Humanoid or Metal Golem before trying specialized builds like the Dog Golem or Beacon Golem.

Golems have a limited number of upgrade slots, and you expand them using the Add 1 Upgrade Slot or Add 100 Upgrade Slots items. Each upgrade you install — like Diamond Upgrade, Emerald Upgrade, or Fire Immune Upgrade — occupies a slot, so plan which ones matter most for your golem's role.

Config Cards come in many colors and let you preset behaviors or settings for your golems, which you then apply with the Command Wand. Use different colors to keep separate configurations for different golems or tasks instead of redoing settings each time.

Equip your golem with a golem weapon like a Golem Sword, Golem Axe, or Golem Spear, then use the Hostile Wand to set it to target hostile mobs. The Command Wand handles general orders, while the Hostile Wand is specifically for aggression settings.

Check that you've actually given it a task via the Command Wand or Hostile Wand — a freshly built golem has no orders by default. Also confirm it has the right upgrades and equipment for the job, since an unarmed golem won't fight effectively.

Beacon Golems use the Beacon Cannon and Beacon Boots to fire Beacon Lasers at targets. You'll need to build the golem specifically for this role and equip the beacon gear — it's a ranged build, not a melee one.

Yes — golem armor sets like Barbaric Vanguard (Helmet, Chestplate, Shinguard, Boots) and Beacon Boots can be equipped on golems. Equip them the same way you'd equip weapons, and match the armor to the golem's role for best results.

The Command Wand issues general orders and applies Config Card settings to your golems. The Hostile Wand is specifically for toggling hostile-targeting behavior, so use it when you want a golem to fight rather than just follow or guard.

Modular Golems is generally compatible with other golem and automation mods, but many active golems with complex upgrades can add up on performance. If you notice lag, reduce the number of simultaneously active golems or simplify their upgrade loadouts.

It adds golems that players can craft from metal materials, where each part can be made from different metals with unique properties and attributes. Upgrades can be applied to golems for additional abilities or stats.

The mod adds the Metal Golem (similar to an Iron Golem with high health and attack), the Humanoid Golem (player-like, can use armor, weapons and shields), and the Dog Golem (wolf-like and fast).

It supports Forge and NeoForge, on Minecraft versions 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, and 26.1.2.

It depends on L2library, and it has integration with mods including Twilight Forest, Create, L2 Complements, Blaze Gears, Botania, Cataclysm, and others.

Craft golem templates, use a stone cutter to get clay golem parts, apply metals onto the clay parts in an anvil, then assemble the golems in a crafting table. Upgrades can optionally be applied in an anvil afterward.

Each golem can have one upgrade per part: a Metal Golem can have 4, a Humanoid Golem can have 3, and a Dog Golem can have 2.

They can use melee weapons, wear armor, use shields to block attacks, use bows and crossbows (consuming arrows), and use tridents without needing loyalty. They consume durability of the items they use.
