Talk:Iron Golem/Archive 1

This is real for any one that says other wise...don't delete my page --Desacobose 16:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * According to crowdin (Minecraft's official translation platform), it's Iron Golem, not Villager Gollem. I suggest copy pasting this page to Iron Golem Fomtg 16:22, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Damage
The page says instantly killing, but this is not true. The Golem can kill you instantly, but doesn't always. The least damage i saw was 4 hearts and the highest instantly killing without armor. (Tested on hard difficulty) On other difficulties damage seems to be the same though.

-Wally

They also do not kill skelletons instantly, although they have 10 hearts like the player.

Classification?
After the full release, how will we categorize the iron golem: utility or neutral? Xeoxer 16:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a utility mob. --Fishrock123.png (Talk)(c) 17:18, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely utility --Moxxy 17:32, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Page Protection
This page is getting tons of attention and many, many edits in a short time span. Could we lock it so only registered users can edit? --Moxxy 17:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree to this --Mathew9R 22:31, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Trivia
Could the Iron Golem "picking a rose" be related to the golem doing the same thing in the Miyazaki film "Castle in the Sky"? It seems similar to have an iron robot with plants growing on it pick a flower.

I found a good image by searching "castle in the sky robot" on google images (the 3rd image that showed up on 23 Feb, 2012). I could not post links here, so this is the best instruction I could post.

 * You've stolen my idea! ;-) --☺ Sven Kein Schwein ruft mich an! 19:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

yes it is. Jon himself in twitter said that he was inspired by the robots of that film. -Wally

Is it true that if you 'Spawn' one of these Golems,when you attack it, it will still fend for itself and counter-attack? Sykar24 05:19, 24 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 05:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Reference?
Is it just me or do this guys seem to be inspired by the robots from Castle in the sky? --☺ Sven Kein Schwein ruft mich an! 19:13, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's very clear with their long arms and the way they offer the flower that they are. --Moxxy 19:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it's a bit like the Iron Giant. A nice guy, until the provoked, or until who he likes and looks after are attacked. 24.149.50.220 22:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Resembles the Golem character in Monster Rancher. In one of the first few episodes, the main character finds Golem (that's his name apparently) tending a flower garden, protecting his past friends (in the form of disk thingies). 97.100.4.59 04:21, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I meant to say "To me, it resembles...", since the Castle in the Sky is the true reference. 97.100.4.59 04:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Spawning Conditions
Please add them.

Can a golem manufactured inside of a village respawn in that village if it's killed?
Will they detect villages like normally-spawned golems? Zoythrus 23:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Only the naturally spawned Iron Golems will respawn in its village, user created will have to be built up again if it dies. -Kingy98 07:46, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Again???
First it was "caveman squidwards" and now it's "robot squidwards"?!? MindCrafter 03:44, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I dont really know the exact rules of the wiki but I am pretty sure there is no reason to shout out your opinions on the wiki when there is a forum for discussion. Wiki's are for information. 83.254.35.254 12:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Effects of Potions on Iron Golems
Due to the fact that Iron Golems are not biological (speculation), my first thought is that an iron golem might be immune to certain potion effects. Can somebody please test the effects of various potions on the IGs?

Edit: Due to the photo of an IG being poisoned by a cave spider on the wiki, I would speculate that some, if not all, potions have a functional effect on IGs (as the spider poison effect is identical to the potion poison effect.) I would still appreciate if proper testing were conducted, however.

Suffocation
They can take suffocation damage. I found this when I spawned one inside my house and it spawned inside a wall. Does this count as drowning or should this be added to the ways they can take damage? 96.241.54.113 14:13, 25 February 2012 (UTC) (Rhou17)
