Copper right now doesn't really offer players many advantages, so I wanted to see if there was a way to introduce a new, original mob using the features that Copper blocks are known for.
Summoning & Lightning:
- Summoning a Copper Golem works the same way as Snow and Iron Golems.
- However, they start their life as a dead variant, as in their eyes are dark and they have no AI. To "give them life", they need to be struck by lightning.
Form & Function:
- Copper Golems would serve as a compliment to Iron Golems. Instead of seeking out mobs, they'd be relatively peaceful, but would scare away all undead, including Zombies, Phantoms, etc. Lore-wise, this could be because the Golem works as their antithesis in terms on "undeath".
- Creepers and Illagers would be unaffected and would instead target the Golem. Maybe the Golem fights back, or maybe it runs off, as if it were scared or shy.
- You could heal the Golem with Copper ingots.
- Instead of dropping or holding roses (I'm sorry, poppies), it would be cool for them to do the same but with dandelions or maybe tulips.
Weathering Mechanic:
- When killed, the Golem doesn't die immediately, but rather powers off and reverts back into its lifeless form. You have to strike it with lightning a second time to bring it back to life.
- Each time the Golem is ressuscitated, it weathers. So, it goes from bright orange/pink to green overtime. This also serves as a life count; after dying in its fully oxidized state, the Golem dies completely.
What do you think?
