Vanilla Copper Golem Additions
Small improvements to the Copper Golem with vanilla-style mechanics, interactions, and behaviors
📖About Vanilla Copper Golem Additions
Vanilla Copper Golem Additions is a lightweight Fabric mod that expands upon the original Copper Golem while staying true to the vanilla Minecraft aesthetic and mechanics.
No new entities, items, or custom assets—just pure vanilla-style enhancements implemented cleanly through mixins.
The goal is to bring small improvements to the Copper Golem functionality while keeping the gameplay and aesthetics completely faithful to Mojang’s design.
Features
Bundle Integration
The Copper Golem can now be equipped with a bundle that appears on its back! This upgrade allows it to carry up to 64 items of the same type, instead of the usual 16 from vanilla.
How to Equip: Simply right-click the Copper Golem with an empty bundle in your hand to equip it.
How to Unequip: To remove the bundle, just right-click the golem with shears — it will drop the bundle and return to its normal state.
Beacon Effects
Copper Golems now benefit from beacon effects, opening up creative new ways to enhance their abilities and gameplay interactions!
Jump Boost Support
Jump Boost from beacons increases the Copper Golem’s jump height, allowing it to leap higher and reach new places — gaining +1 block of jump height per Jump Boost level.
Haste Support
Haste reduces the time Copper Golems spend searching open chests, making them more efficient helpers! Level 1 slightly increases their speed, while Level 2 and above grant the same maximum search speed.
Speed Support
The Speed effect boosts the Copper Golem’s movement speed, letting it move faster across the world.
Future Plans
- Add a config file for greater customization options
- Enhance Copper Golem AI for smarter behavior
- Apply bundle colors directly to the golem’s model
- Improve animations when beacon effects are active
- Experiment with item filters for golems
- Explore ways for golems to pick up items from the ground
- Research methods to highlight accessible chests
