🔧 What is the Copper Golem?

The Copper Golem is a revolutionary automation companion that helps organize your base! Unlike hostile mobs, this friendly helper focuses on one thing: making your storage life easier.

Key Features:

• Peaceful Mob: Never hostile to players
• Item Sorting: Automatically organizes chests
• Copper Chest Focus: Works with copper chest variants
• Stack Limit: Carries maximum 16 items at once
• Smart AI: Finds and sorts items independently

🛠️ How to Create a Copper Golem

Materials Needed:

• Copper blocks (any oxidation level)
• Carved pumpkin
• Lightning rod (optional)

Construction Steps:

• Stack 2 copper blocks vertically
• Place carved pumpkin on top
• Golem spawns automatically
• No lightning required (unlike Iron Golems)

Copper Variants Work:

• Regular copper blocks
• Exposed copper blocks
• Weathered copper blocks
• Oxidized copper blocks
• Waxed variants of all types

📦 How Copper Golem Sorting Works

Pickup Behavior:

• Looks for nearby copper chests when not holding items
• Picks up items from any copper chest variant
• Prioritizes chests with items inside
• Can pick up maximum 16 items per trip

Sorting Logic:

• Item Type Recognition: Sorts by item category
• Chest Detection: Finds appropriate storage chests
• Distance Priority: Chooses closest suitable chest
• Stack Management: Combines similar items efficiently

Compatible Chests:

• Regular copper chests
• Exposed copper chests
• Weathered copper chests
• Oxidized copper chests
• All waxed copper chest variants

🏗️ Setting Up Your Sorting System

Basic Sorting Setup:

• Place copper chests around your base
• Label chests with item frames
• Put sample items in each chest
• Spawn Copper Golem in central area
• Drop items in any copper chest

Advanced Organization:

• Tool Storage: Dedicated chest for pickaxes, swords, etc.
• Building Blocks: Stone, wood, dirt categories
• Food Storage: All food items in one area
• Redstone Components: Automation materials
• Rare Items: Diamonds, netherite, enchanted gear

💡 Optimization Tips

Placement Strategy:

• Keep Copper Golem near chest clusters
• Avoid water that might slow movement
• Create clear pathways between chests
• Use lighting to prevent hostile mob spawns

Efficiency Tricks:

• Group similar chest types together
• Use hoppers under chests for overflow
• Create item frames with example items
• Build elevated platforms for better access

Multiple Golem Setup:

• Use multiple Copper Golems for large bases
• Assign different areas to each golem
• Prevent golems from interfering with each other
• Create dedicated zones for different item types
