Question

What is the maximum number I can have?

SunPuppy

Community Answer

There is no maximum. You can make one, ten, or 100, as many as you like. I think the more you make, the better, because they attack hostile mobs.

Do the iron golems stay in one village, or do they move around?

They only stay in the village they're spawned in, unless leashed and moved by the player.

Question

Why do they wander off to protect the villages?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

The Iron Golems were created because too many villagers were being attacked by monsters, with no way to defend themselves. Iron Golems will gravitate towards villages to protect them from the monsters.

Question

How do I make it in the 2D Mine Blocks game?

Community Answer

There is no iron golem in Mine Blocks yet as of November 2016. You can make a snow golem by placing two snow blocks on the ground (one on top of the other), then putting a pumpkin on top of them.

No, iron golems cannot breed. There isn't anything to feed the iron golems, so it's not possible.

You will need to put the pumpkin last or it will not work. It is the same thing as spawning the wither.

Actually, no. You might not be putting the blocks in the correct order. Iron blocks first, pumpkin last. If that isn't the case, try leaving the game and coming back.

If you attack a villager, your popularity will go down and they will try to kill you. If your popularity is low, they will kill you on sight.

Question

If iron golems protect villages, then what do snow golems do?

Verin

Top Answerer

To quote the Minecraft wiki: "Snow golems were first showcased by Notch on Twitter as a new mob that is "craftable, is friendly, and throws snowballs at enemies. Also melts in hot biomes." and that it would "spread snow by walking around." You can also use them to farm snow.

Question

How do you tame endermen?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

You cannot tame endermen in unmodded versions of Minecraft. However, it is possible to capture an enderman in a boat, use a nametag on it, and keep it there forever. Just don't look it in the eyes or else it will become aggressive.
