The iron golem in Minecraft is a neutral mob that the player can make on their own. But, unlike the snow golem, the iron golem is generated in villages and without the participation of the player. Sometimes he can be found near the outlaw outpost, locked in a cage.

The Iron golem protects the villagers from hostile mobs. A golem can attack a player in response to an attack, or by defending a villager who was attacked by the player, but does not attack the player who created it. The iron golem does a lot of damage to mobs, because it not only hits them with its hands, but also throws them up. The golem does not attack tamed wolves.

A golem cannot die from falling from a mountain or drowning, but it can get stuck in a pit with water, burn in lava. Over time, the golem gets damaged — this can be seen by the cracks on it. It can be repaired with iron ingots.

The golem is very useful during a raid, especially with the participation of the Ravager.

Capable of dealing damage from 7 to 21 health points to hostile mobs.

Iron golems are neutral mobs, they cannot be tamed.

There are two types of golems in Minecraft: an iron golem and a snow golem.

An iron golem will appear in a village where there are at least 3 adult villagers and 3 beds.

Yes, the probability of its occurrence under suitable conditions is 1⁄7000 (~0.0143%) every game tick (approximately every 6 minutes) until the limit is reached.

The limit of iron golems is set according to the following algorithm: 21 beds and at least 10 villagers — 1 golem, 21 beds and at least 20 villagers — 2 golems, 21 beds and at least 30 villagers — 3 golems, etc.

In general, there are no restrictions on the number of golems at the moment. But it's worth remembering about limiting the number of mobs per chunk. With a large number of villagers (80-100) in a limited area, iron golems will not spawn due to the restriction on the number of mobs.

It is desirable to release the Iron golem from the cage, since it perceives robbers as enemies, and will help with their elimination and capture of the outpost.

If the village and villagers are not in danger, then the iron golem will slowly walk around the village. But as soon as a threat appears, the golem will quickly approach the threat and start attacking it. The iron golem not only strikes with his hands, but also throws the victim up. Thus, the target receives additional damage from falling.

The Iron golem will take damage from lava, fire and poison, and it can also drown.

25 health units (12.5 hearts on the health scale).

The golem leaves the village if there are no villagers in it.

He will attack the player if he attacks the iron golem first or if the player's reputation is less than 15. In the latter case, the golem will chase the player even if he is out of sight of the golem.

The iron golem, which was created by the player himself, will never attack its creator.

If a golem was summoned using a command or summoning egg, it will not protect the villagers.

The easiest way to kill a golem is to attack it, and then climb to a pre–prepared elevation of three blocks high. This will avoid the golem's blows, and it will make him defenseless before the player's sword blows. An iron golem can also be killed with a bow, taking advantage of its slowness.

It is worth remembering that if there are several golems in the village, then when a player hits one, this particular golem will attack him. And if a player attacks a villager and earns a negative reputation, all the golems of the village will attack him at the same time.

The most popular means is a pit with water or lava. The iron golem needs to be pushed there and, if necessary, covered with gravel or sand. Iron ingots will float to the surface.

  • The poppy that the golem holds in his hands and gives to the resident children is a reference to the anime "The Heavenly Castle of Laputa".
  • Golem is the fourth highest health mob after Ender Dragon, Wither and Warden.
  • The iron golem will move slower if it is set on fire.
  • When appearing, the golem is always turned to the south.
  • The Iron golem walks swaying, unlike other mobs.
  • The Iron Golem is the second mob that can be built. The first is a snow golem, and the third is a desiccant.
