OreGolems

Ore Golems adds 40+ ore and material themed iron golem variants to minecraft!

Each golem is built from its matching block, has its own stats and visuals, and vanilla-based golems also have unique special effects to make them feel different in combat.

The mod also adds:

• same-variant breeding with each golem's block
• cross-breeding that uses the child golem's block
• baby golems that inherit half of their parents' health and armor before growing into adults
• spawn egg tooltips that show each golem's special effect
• JEI support for summoning and breeding recipes

For Modpack Authors
Ore Golems is data-driven and built for pack customization.

You can:

• add custom golems
• edit stats, traits, drops, and breeding results
• add compatibility for other mods
• customize behavior through datapacks or KubeJS

Current support: - Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge - Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge - JEI recipe support - TerraFirmaCraft compatibility on 1.20.1

Datapack / KubeJS Example

Ore Golems can be extended through datapacks or KubeJS by adding JSON files.

Folders used by Ore Golems:

• data/<namespace>/ore_golems/
• data/<namespace>/ore_golem_extensions/
• data/<namespace>/ore_golem_breeding/

KubeJS users can place the same files under:

• kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golems/
• kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golem_extensions/
• kubejs/data/<namespace>/ore_golem_breeding/

Use your own namespace, such as yourpack, for custom files.

Extension Example
File path:
data/yourpack/ore_golem_extensions/copper_patch.json

{
"target_material": "oregolems:copper",
"extra_summon_blocks": [
"yourmod:cut_copper_block"

Breeding / Cross-Breeding Example
File path:
data/yourpack/ore_golem_breeding/bronze.json

{
"type": "oregolems:ore_golem_breeding",
"parent1": "oregolems:copper",
"parent2": "oregolems:tin",
"offspring": [
"oregolems:bronze"
]
}

Note:

• same-variant breeding uses summon_blocks

• cross-breeding recipes go in ore_golem_breeding

• custom datapack and KubeJS variants use the universal configured Ore Golem spawn egg stack

• custom datapack and KubeJS variants do not require separate spawn egg item IDs or model files

• if a KubeJS golem does not load, check the namespace path and check the log for JSON parse errors

You may include Ore Golems in modpacks distributed through approved platforms like CurseForge and Modrinth.
