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

- customize behavior through datapacks or KubeJS

Current support:
- Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge

- 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"
],
"extra_repair_items": [
"minecraft:copper_ingot"
],
"extra_traits": [
"fireproof"
]
}

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
