About this project

What does Straw Golem Updated add?

Hello! This mod is no longer a port of Straw Golem Rebaled, but rather me taking the mod its own direction!
I've rewritten the mod, and hope to flesh it out in a new and different direction! This will only be true for 1.21+, as older versions will remain my port. The status below will display what how far my rewrite has gotten.

Here's the major changes in the most recent update:

  • Adding Straw Golem Lifespan
    • Even Straw Golems get sick if left alone!
    • Golems will need upkeep to not decay with time
    • Will also add a config to customize this, for those preferring immortal Straw Golems
  • Adding Straw Golem Hunger
    • Feed your Straw Golems, friends deserve food!
    • Straw Golems will start to slow down if they are not fed.
    • (See previous)
  • Adding Straw Golem Interactions
    • Protect your Straw Golems!
    • Animals eating the straw golems
    • Pillagers attacking them
    • Shivering in rain
  • More Configs
    • Made the Winter event have a config for the Southern Hemisphere (July->August)

1.21+ status: Preparing to update Minecraft versions

Last Update: 2.2.0 Straw Golem Interaction Update

Winter Golem holding wheat
Please let me know what you all think about the winter model, and if there's any issues!

Note: Winter skin only available during December and January (Northern Hemisphere) or July and August (Southern Hemisphere)
(Try throwing a snowball at a Straw golem!)

Know Bugs:

  • Straw golems cannot properly harvest sweet berries.

Planned Features:

  • Whitelist feature for picking up items.
  • Straw golems harvesting non-standard crops (ex: sugar cane).

Mod before 1.21 info

This mod is an unofficial port of Straw Golem Rebaled as with my other port of Haybale. I'm porting this and uploading this mod because a friend wanted to play it. If CommodoreThrawn would like to use this port officially or wants this port taken down, feel free to message me and I will do so.

Features (taken from original):

Harvesting

  • Automatic harvesting, replanting of crops & delivery to a nearby container
  • Can specify which container to deliver by shift right clicking golem and then container with an empty hand
  • Supports modded crops and containers, stem grown blocks like pumpkins and melons, and more!
  • Can add a whitelist / blacklist in config

Lifespan

  • Golems have a 7 day lifespan by default. This is configurable
  • Certain actions, like carrying a heavy block, being in water or the rain add an additional -1/tick penalty each (cumulative)
  • Lifespan can be restored with wheat. 1 wheat = 1/4 minecraft day
  • Strawgolem health is capped by their lifespan %. A golem with 3.5 days remaining will have a max health of 1 heart
  • Lifespan is indicated via HWYLA or by their decaying texture. When they're very old there's a fly that hovers around 'em

Hunger

  • Loves apples! They will follow you if you hold one
  • Golems get hungry in 3 days by default. This is configurable
  • If they don't get an apple in time, they will pout and refuse to work until you give them one!
  • Each apple gives them another day before they're hungry again

Miscellaneous

  • Iron Golems get curious sometimes, and will pick straw golems up for inspection
  • Farm animals get hungry sometimes, and will take a little monch. Don't let their health get too low!
  • Raiders seem to really have it out for straw golems. Make sure to protect them!

Configuration

  • I've always tried to make the mod pretty configurable so modpack makers can have their way with it.
  • Crops can be whitelist or blacklist, harvesting, replanting and delivery can all be toggled
  • Crop detection range can be edited
  • Lifespan and hunger defaults can be changed, or disabled alltogether. Lifespan penalties can also be toggled individually
  • Tether system can be toggled and altered
  • Golems picking up items from the ground can be toggled
  • Golem pick up items can use whitelist, blacklist, or presets
  • Misc features like shivering, iron golem pickup can be toggled as well
