Creating Copper Golems in Minecraft: A Guide

Sure, here it goes:

So, there I was, diving headfirst into Minecraft—my weekend sanctuary—when I stumbled onto this adorable, clumsy pal: the Copper Golem. It’s like—I don’t know—giving your pixelated self a hug on a tough day. Honestly, these little guys can keep busy doing whatever with hardly any effort on your part. You’re out there swinging pickaxes, right? And boom, there’s this buddy doing its coppery magic.

Now, I was cruising through some random links about ancient cities and raids (I mean, the excitement never ends in this blocky universe). Ancient cities, by the way, are kind of like those mysterious basements you never go into because, of course, scary stuff awaits. Anyway, distractingly, I found a picture—oops, wrong tab—but hey, it stuck with me. No clue how or why ancient cities morphed into cute golems in my brain, but it happened. Brain’s wild like that, huh?

Backtracking a bit, remember Minecraft Live 2021? Copper Golems were in a popularity contest—think high school vibe, all stress and charm. They lost to Allay. Oof, rough. But fate twisted a wrench or two, and voilà, they’re now in Minecraft for all of us DIY folks.

Listen, if you want to create one (and really, why wouldn’t you?) here’s the gist: slap a Carved Pumpkin atop a Copper Block. Point is, you can make this odd yet winsome creature anytime you crave a chaotic little friend in your game. And did I mention color variations? Silver, greenish, or that fully oxidized blue—personalization, people!

So, what do these Copper Golems do, you ask? They are like the tidy housemate you never had. They’ll stroll around and do the sorting chores—or so they say. Place stuff in Copper Chests, and this trooper will hustle to get it organized elsewhere. Couldn’t hurt to have one of these golems IRL, honestly.

Hey, next time you’re bumbling through your Minecraft quests, think about adopting a little rust-prone buddy. It might not change the world, but it sure makes your blocky life a tad more amusing. And who couldn’t use more of that?
