About this project
What does Helpful Armorers add?
Helpful Armorers
Helpful Armorers is a Minecraft Fabric mod that gives armorer villagers a new useful behavior: they can repair damaged iron golems.
When an armorer finds a nearby injured iron golem, it will approach the golem while holding an iron ingot and repair it. Armorers are careful, though — they will avoid repairing during dangerous situations, at night, or after taking damage.

Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Iron Golem Repair | Armorer villagers can repair nearby damaged iron golems. |
| Iron Ingot Animation | Armorers hold an iron ingot while going to repair a golem. |
| Danger Awareness | Armorers avoid repairing when hostile mobs are nearby. |
| Self-Preservation | Armorers stop repairing after taking damage. |
| Night Safety | Armorers do not risk repairing golems at night. |
| Vanilla-Friendly | Keeps the behavior simple and close to vanilla Minecraft. |
| Lightweight | Focused only on improving the armorer and iron golem interaction. |
How It Works
If there is a damaged iron golem nearby, the armorer will try to approach it.
The armorer will hold an iron ingot and repair the golem when close enough.
If hostile mobs are nearby, if it is night, or if the armorer takes damage, the repair behavior is cancelled.
