Healing Golems

I believe it would be cool and logical if you could add health to and heal Golems with the material they are made of by just throwing or dropping it on the Golem so that he can take it up. Maybe villagers should also be able to do this. 

Iron Golem: 

  • Iron Block: + 27 Health
  • Iron Ingot: + 3 Health
  • Iron Bars: + 1 Health

Snow Golem: 

  • Snowball: + 1 Health
  • Snow Block: + 4 Health

Both Golems: 

  • Pumpkin/Carved Pumpkin: + 5 Health

    So people could just feed an almost broken chest plate to their golem to give it massive regen?

    @TheFriendlyPine They are too small to heal. They would after correct mathematics heal the Golem by 0.33333333333...

    @Bilbo Baggins I didn’t think about that. Maybe you could only feed it unused armor? Do you have an idea?

    I believe that having the iron block and ingots heal more or the pumpkin healing less would be better as pumpkins are easily farmed and iron is not.
    Another thing would be that the armour would likely need to only give a small amount since you could just give an almost broken chest-plate to the golem.

    (images work fine, no need to test. ~ nb)
    the test wasn't to see if images were possible btw

    I took away the armor because of three reasons:  

    1. The armor caused some trouble with the durability. 

    2. If armor is taken into the list, swords, shears and everything else made of iron would have to go there too. 

    3. The game should make you choose what you want to do: Help your village’s Golem or help yourself. 

    Also, on Mitchell Abererd’s request, I changed the healing points of pumpkins. 

    Is this better? Please let me know what you think.

    Pretty much done by now, huh? At least for Iron Golems.

    it always really bothered me that villagers would rather spawn a completely new golem (and sometimes they don't even seem to be able to do that) rather than keep their current golem alive, so I support the idea of them being able to repair their golems somehow! However, I think it would be better if you could also right-click the golem directly.

    Villagers healing golems would be sooo nice. (but only during the day, 'cause logic)
