Golem Idea: Miner Golem

We can all agree that at some point mining in survival mode can become a bit tedious. This new golem aims to aid that conundrum. This golem is summoned using a new feature, the golem talisman, which allows golems to be crafted in a crafting table and placed wherever to await activation (via redstone or by right clicking). It is crafted via a carved pumpkin, an armor stand, a chest, a blast furnace, and a pickaxe of any tier (but not enchanted). This new golem has an interface which allows players to specify in which direction and how far to mine (either specific number of blocks or until it runs out of fuel.) It can also specify which blocks/items to prioritize once its inventory fills up. They mine in a straight 1x2 line in the designated direction and block count or until it runs out of fuel or set to return on low fuel. These golems, unlike others, need to be fueled by anything a furnace can use or it will not move. This golem cannot place blocks or interact with chests but can be affected by hoppers. They will not attack mobs and will ignore them completely even when taking damage. Hostile mobs are aggresive towards them and will prioritize over players. This golem also emits light when powered. A variation could be crafted with an axe to chop down trees within a specified range.

    Cool idea, but since golems are magical things, why would it need to be feuled, now im just thinking it could be like a furnace golem so then that would be okay.

    If it's powered by lava buckets could it light them on fire and return lose energy?

    In general I really like your idea, please look at my golem idea, have a good night!

    This sounds like a good auto mining sisom and whey better than redstone machine that don't work on bedrock or pocket edition.

    Another idea is they explode Apon death, destroying all they carry. Just to make it more balanced in a sense, since if they pick up coal, they.. well, more fuel.
