How to make a Copper Golem in Minecraft
To craft a Copper Golem in Minecraft, you only need to place a carved pumpkin on top of a copper block. The oxidation of the copper does not matter; it will still work. However, the color of the Copper Golem will vary depending on the oxidation level of the block you use. It will also spawn a copper chest that the golem will use to transfer items.
You can get copper by mining copper ores in caves or mountains, then smelting them in a furnace. As for the pumpkins, you need to carve them using shears. You usually spot a ton of pumpkins in the overworld, usually in plains, taiga, and snow biomes.
What is the purpose of Copper Golems?
To answer that question, Copper Golems in Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition are little helpers that can sort items for you. You will need to build a copper chest where they retrieve items and place them in various nearby regular chests. They are basically a non-redstone sorting system. Understanding how they work means you no longer need to make overly complex redstone contraptions for your inventory system. This saves a lot of resources and reduces lag in your world, especially if you are building a mega base.
