In the world of Minecraft, iron golems are invaluable allies, tasked with protecting villages and their inhabitants from hostile mobs. However, these stalwart defenders can take a beating, and their health can become depleted over time. Fortunately, there is a way to repair damaged iron golems and keep them in fighting shape.
Repairing Iron Golems
To repair an iron golem in Minecraft, simply right-click on its chest while holding an iron ingot. This will consume the ingot and restore 25 health points (12.5 hearts) to the golem. This can be repeated as many times as necessary to fully heal the golem.
It’s important to note that iron golems can become “cracked” when they take significant damage, which is a visual indicator of their current health status. As the golem takes more damage, the cracks will become more pronounced, making it easy to identify when it’s time to break out the iron ingots and lend a helping hand.
Other Uses for Iron Golems
In addition to their role as village defenders, iron golems can also be a valuable source of resources. When an iron golem is defeated, it will drop several iron ingots, which can be used for a variety of crafting purposes. This makes them a prime target for early-game players looking to kickstart their iron production.
Furthermore, players can create iron farms, which utilize the ability of villagers to spawn iron golems. These farms can provide a steady stream of iron ingots, eliminating the need for extensive mining expeditions.
