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
----------
