Straw Golem Rebaled

This mod serves as a spiritual successor to the original Straw Golem for modern Minecraft versions, offering an adorable and helpful farming assistant.

Harvest Automation

Straw golems autonomously harvest mature crops and replant seeds, delivering gathered resources to nearby containers. You can specify a particular chest for delivery by holding Shift, clicking the golem first, then the desired container with an empty hand. The mod supports both vanilla and custom crops, including pumpkins, melons, and other plants. The white/blacklist system in settings allows precise control over which crops your helper should collect.

Lifespan Management

Each straw golem initially lives for 7 days, but this can be adjusted in configuration. Certain actions reduce lifespan: carrying heavy blocks, being in rain or water. You can extend a golem's life using wheat—one unit restores a quarter of an in-game day. The golem's health condition directly depends on remaining lifespan—a pet with 3.5 days left will have only one heart of health. Wear level is displayed through modifications like HWYLA or changing textures, and a fly circles around older golems.

Feeding System

These creatures adore apples and will definitely follow you if you hold the fruit in hand. By default, they become hungry after two days, but this parameter is also configurable. If not fed an apple in time, the golem will sit and look sad until receiving a treat. Each apple postpones the next hunger episode by exactly one day.

Additional Features

Iron golems sometimes show curiosity and lift straw companions for inspection. Farm animals might try to take a bite from your helper, so monitor its health. Raiders particularly dislike straw golems—be sure to protect them from attacks!

Flexible Configuration

The mod offers numerous options for individual customization to suit your needs.

You can configure:

• Crop white/blacklists
• Plant detection radius
• Toggle harvesting, replanting, and delivery functions
• Lifespan and hunger parameters
• Tether settings
• Various visual effects: shivering, interaction with iron golems

What are you waiting for? Time to head to the farm!
