Copper Golem - as a means to farm copper

I won't speak too much on the golem itself, it would be crafted as an iron golem is now with the iron being swapped with copper blocks.

However, there's an alternative way to spawn a copper golem. If an IRON golem is struck by lightning it will transform into a copper golem. killing the golem will make it drop copper giving a renewable method to acquire copper with an interesting farming mechanic. The copper golem will also drop a (non-poppy) flower.

The golem would corrode over time and crafting it with weathered copper will result in that level of weathered on the golem. The golem can be waxed by right-clicking it and if the golem is struck by lightning it will revert to a uncorroded copper and gain its health back.

    Interesting combination of a lightning farm and an iron farm. I like the idea. You would need a lightning rod or channeling to make it work.

    To make farming more interesting, the copper mob could act like a lightning rod making it more likely for them to convert back to iron thus limiting the effect of cheesy farms and make the effort more balanced to the output
