This mod adds a helpful (and awfully cute) little golem to do some of your farming for you

Harvesting

• Automatic harvesting, replanting of crops & delivery to a nearby container
• Can specify which container to deliver by shift right clicking golem and then container with an empty hand
• Supports modded crops and containers, stem grown blocks like pumpkins and melons, and more!
• Can add a whitelist / blacklist in config

Lifespan

• Golems have a 7 day lifespan by default. This is configurable
• Certain actions, like carrying a heavy block, being in water or the rain add an additional -1/tick penalty each (cumulative)
• Lifespan can be restored with wheat. 1 wheat = 1/4 minecraft day
• Strawgolem health is capped by their lifespan %. A golem with 3.5 days remaining will have a max health of 1 heart
• Lifespan is indicated via HWYLA or by their decaying texture. When they're very old there's a fly that hovers around 'em

Hunger

• Loves apples! They will follow you if you hold one
• Golems get hungry in 2 days by default. This is configurable
• If they don't get an apple in time, they will sit and pout until you give them one!
• Each apple gives them another day before they're hungry again

Miscellaneous

• Iron Golems get curious sometimes, and will pick straw golems up for inspection
• Farm animals get hungry sometimes, and will take a little monch. Don't let their health get too low!
• Raiders seem to really have it out for straw golems. Make sure to protect them!

• I've always tried to make the mod pretty configurable so modpack makers can have their way with it.
• Crops can be whitelist or blacklist, harvesting, replanting and delivery can all be toggled
• Crop detection range can be edited
• Lifespan and hunger defaults can be changed, or disabled alltogether. Lifespan penalties can also be toggled individually
• Tether system can be toggled and altered
• Misc features like shivering, iron golem pickup can be toggled as well

What are you waiting for? Let's get farming!

Straw Golem Reborn

This mod adds a helpful (and awfully cute) little golem to do some of your farming for you. It can harvest, replant and deliver crops to a nearby chest.

Straw Golem Reborn!

Getting Started

To create a Straw Golem, stand near the crops or farm where you want it to do its thing. Then place a carved pumpkin on top of a hay bale. (Or carve a pumpkin that is already on a hay bale). After a moment of reflection about the life, the universe, and everything, your little guy will start look for & harvest a full-grown crop.

Chest Usage

Once a Straw Golem gathers a crop item, it will seek out a chest to store the item. Thus, a chest should be placed near the crops where the golem does its work, and you should make sure the chest have available space inside to hold the soon-to-be harvested crops.

• Your golem is usually clever enough to locate an available chest on its own.
• If you have more than one chest in the vicinity, the golem will choose a chest on its own

Lifespan

The Straw Golem has a limited lifespan.

• Every 10 minutes, theres a 1/5 chance it decays.
• There are 4 decay states, from new to dying, with death thereafter
• This lifespan goes down faster when the golem is exposed to the rain or when it stands in water
• The golem shivers when in rain water or cold
• You can protect your golem from rain by building it a Straw Hat
• The golem decays if it takes enough damage
• Lifespan is restored by feeding the golem wheat, which also heals it.

As your golem approaches old age, it will begin to to decay, and you will see visual changes to its texture. You may also start to see flies hovering about. Moreover, as it ages, its max lifespan is lowered.

Behaviour

• The golem is shy, and tends to avoid players
• The golem will be attacked by all raiders, and will flee them
• The golem will sometimes be munched on by farm animals, and will flee them
• When the golem flees, it drops anything it had in its hand

Config

The mod is made to be highly configurable. Users can toggle optional features (lifespan, hunger, etc.), set crops to include/exclude, tweak lifespan & hunger lengths, etc.

Compatibility

The mod has out-of-the-box compat for most modded crops. It also plays nice with many tooltip GUI mods, such as HWYLA, WTHIT, and Jade, so you can see golem health, hunger, and remaining days.
