About Modular Golems

From Modrinth

Tinker style modularized metal golems

This mod adds golems that players can craft from metal materials. Each part of the golems can be made from different metals with unique properties and attributes. Upgrades can be applied for additional abilities or stats.

Discord: https://discord.gg/BCHNhsDMXz

Dependency: L2library

Golem types:

  • Metal Golem: similar to Iron Golem, has high health and attack
  • Humanoid golem: player-like, can use armor, weapons and shields
  • Dog golem: wolf-like, run fast

Things humanoid golems can do:

  • Use melee weapons
  • Wear armors
  • Use shields to block attack
  • Use bows and crossbows (consumes arrow, so infinity bow is recommended)
  • Use Tridents (Drowned-like, doesn't need loyalty enchantment)

Be aware that humanoid golem will consume durability of used items
