Copper golems are delightful little helpers that can be summoned using a few basic items. Unlike their more combative counterparts, these golems do not engage hostile mobs; instead, they excel in managing and organizing items stored in chests.

Crafting a Copper Golem: Essential Materials

To create a copper golem, you will need the following items:

1 Copper Block (crafted from 9 Copper Ingots)
1 Carved Pumpkin

Crafting Copper Blocks

To craft a copper block, gather 9 copper ingots. To obtain those ingots, you need to smelt raw copper in a Furnace or Blast Furnace. Each raw copper yields one copper ingot. Raw copper can be mined from a variety of sources, including caves, exposed ore blocks, or mountainous regions, making it relatively easy to acquire.

Crafting a Carved Pumpkin

A carved pumpkin is your next ingredient, which may require a bit more effort to collect. Follow these simple steps to create one:

Explore villages or your surroundings for fully grown pumpkins.
Make a pair of shears using two iron ingots.
Use the shears on the pumpkin to create a carved version, complete with an eye hole and mouth.
Finally, break the carved pumpkin and add it to your inventory.

How to Summon a Copper Golem

Now that you have the necessary materials, you can summon a copper golem by following these steps:

Position a copper block on the ground where you wish to summon the golem.
Place the carved pumpkin atop the copper block, which will create the copper golem on a copper chest.

For additional golems, simply place another copper block beside the original chest and top it with another carved pumpkin. This will create a double copper chest.

Functionality of Copper Golems

The primary function of copper golems is to assist in sorting and organizing items stored within copper chests. For instance, if you have a few scattered oak planks, the copper golems will gather them together to ensure a neat and tidy inventory. Below are key functionalities of copper golems:

Copper golems exclusively retrieve items from copper chests.
They do not collect items that are dropped on the ground.
If a copper golem is holding an item when defeated, it will not drop it.
The state of the copper golem (exposed or oxidized) reflects the type of copper block used beneath the carved pumpkin.
You can wax copper golems using a Honeycomb to maintain their appearance and prevent oxidation.
Regardless of their state, copper golems can sort items from chests of any type.
