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.
