Talk:Iron Golem

Someone check the code for the iron golem damage.
This topic got archived earlier today, but I really want to know what the iron golem's damage actually is because it keeps changing over time, and if someone can replay of what the damage is, then please say so. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 01:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

The amount of damage the iron golem keeps changing a LOT. Some are obviously vandalism, others are hard to tell. Can someone check the code to settle this statement? Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 19:32, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The page has recently received an obviously unconstructive (way too much damage) edit on the damage (I have reverted it by now), but I really do want to know if the current values are correct, and the damage simply keeps changing. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 16:09, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Can someone clarify on which block a golem can spawn
Is there a conflict in the description of where a golem can spawn? It says that a golem can spawn inside half-slabs, but to me that appears to conflict with the statement that the target block must be air, water or lava and must have a block with a solid top surface underneath.

 * There's no conflict. The spawn location is the location of the iron golem's feet, and there are conditions for the column of blocks above the surface the golem would stand on. If water or a slab or lava is above where the feet would go, then iron golem can spawn inside it. I have to say, the spawning rules described in this article have evolved significantly and now they sound a lot more complicated. Those rules may also be specific to Java, not Bedrock.

 * I'm sorry, i don't see how that would make it possible for the golem to spawn inside half slabs. I also tried, in java, to cover a platform that my golems normally spawn on with half slabs and spawning stops. Could you maybe explain how blocks should be stacked in one column to allow spawning inside the half slab? Griffon28 (talk) 10:25, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Possibly the information here is out of date. I found that says this was resolved last year in 1.16. Amatulic (talk) 18:11, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Let me backtrack - is already cited in the paragraph about spawning in java. Maybe this was fixed for interference with adjacent slabs. I am not sure. Amatulic (talk) 18:15, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I think the section needs an update, because I just had another spawn that I thought was impossible. This time the golem is not "directly under the sky". The blocks above the golem have redstone running over them. If there is a better place to discuss this, please tell me. Griffon28 (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Other than the bug tracker, this is probably the best place to discuss. Reporting this on the bug tracker might at least get (eventually) a response that this "works as intended" or an acknowledgment of a bug. Amatulic (talk) 14:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Mob experience and items
The article isn't clear about what happens to experience and item drops from mobs killed by Iron Golems. Can the player still get experience and drops or not?--177.72.23.38 18:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
