Description

Hungry Iron Golems

A Minecraft mod that allows Iron Golems to heal themselves by consuming (certain) iron items!

Features

  • Smart Healing: Iron Golems will automatically search for and consume iron items when injured
  • Multiple Iron Types: Supports raw iron, iron nuggets, and iron ingots with different healing values
  • Iron Lunchbox: A new storage block that golems can pull iron from automatically
  • Configurable: Adjust healing amounts, search ranges, and health thresholds via config file

Iron Types & Healing

Iron Type Healing Health Threshold
Raw Iron 1 HP 1%+ missing
Iron Nugget 2 HP 2%+ missing
Iron Ingot 25 HP 25%+ missing
Iron Block N/A 25%+ missing will break into ingots (when in Iron Lunchbox)

The Iron Lunchbox

A barrel-like storage container that:

  • Holds 27 slots of iron ingots and iron blocks
  • Works with hoppers and other modded interfaces (tested with Ender IO item conduits)

Recipe: Craft with 4 iron blocks, 4 iron ingots, and 1 barrel

Supplies

Crafting Recipe

How It Works

  1. When an Iron Golem takes damage, it will look for iron items on the ground or in nearby Iron Lunchboxes
  2. The golem will choose the most efficient iron type based on how much health it's missing
  3. Golems prioritize ground items over lunchboxes if both have similar healing values
  4. After consuming iron, there's a brief cooldown before the golem can heal again

Examples

Configuration

Edit config/hungryirongolems-common.toml to customize:

  • Healing amounts for each iron type
  • Health thresholds for when golems will consume each type
  • Pickup and lunchbox search ranges
  • Cooldown between healing attempts

Compatibility

  • Minecraft Version: 1.21.1
  • Mod Loader: NeoForge 21.0.167+
  • Works With: Ender IO, hoppers, and other automation mods
