Iron Golems should have a patrol schedule.

I'm thinking that they should travel around the perimeter of the village, and occasionally come back to the center, instead of wandering around aimlessly. Of course, finding a baddie will always have higher priority than the patrol.

  • Upon spawn, look for the bell.

  • Randomly elect to find the furthest house in any of 8 directions. (North, south, east, west, NW, NE, SW, SE)

  • Check the furthest building in each direction, randomly selecting clockwise or counterclockwise.

  • After one loop, it returns to the bell for a moment. Repeat.

This way, the golem will tend to keep searching the more dangerous areas, while still coming into town to see if there's any trouble that got in already.

    As someone suggested in a different post, iron golems should be able to be repaired by blacksmith villagers so what I'm thinking is that along with patrolling the village, they should also go to the village center during villager meetings and if there is a blacksmith villager, doesn't matter what career, they would "repair" the iron golem(s), bringing them back to full health, and once the meeting is over, the iron golem(s) would go back on their normal patrol routes.

    I think that iron golems should also note where there are mobs and more frequently go there instead of places with no mobs. They highest priority should be zombies damaging villagers. Iron golems will abandon what they were doing and fight to zombie that is attacking the villager.
