Utility Golems

Utility Golems is a vanilla-friendly automation mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that introduces functional, buildable golems designed to handle everyday tasks.

Instead of relying on complex machines or multiblock systems, this mod focuses on simple, immersive automation. Golems are constructed directly in the world using familiar materials and behave as natural extensions of Minecraft’s mechanics.

Build your own helpers to manage farming, resource gathering, and more - no machines required!
