Golem Overhaul Mod adds nine new types of golems to your Minecraft world. Each new golem has its own special skills and drops. You can ride the giant Netherite Golem into battle or use it to summon smaller Coal Golems. If you need to protect your farm, the Hay Golem stops mobs from trampling your crops. You can also trade emeralds with the Barrel Golem to get helpful items. This mod gives you plenty of new helpers to find and build across different biomes.

Honey Golems live in birch forests and shoot sticky honey to slow down enemies.
Bees live inside the Honey Golem, heal it, and help it fight.
You can use shears on a full Honey Golem to collect honey blobs.
Light a Candle Golem with flint and steel so it shoots fireballs, but this hurts the mob over time until its flame goes out.
Tell a Candle Golem to sit down so it takes much less damage from arrows.
Kelp Golems swim very fast underwater and get stronger, heal faster, and take less damage when they get near a conduit.
Slime Golems spawn deep down in slime chunks and come in both big and small sizes.
Coal Golems stay quiet near underground coal ores until you light them with flint and steel.
Once lit, the Coal Golem fights enemies but breaks apart after it finishes attacking.
