Making Iron Golem and Snow Golem in Minecraft should be useful for the player. The creatures can be the user’s allies in the fight against terrible monsters. Both characters can be summoned by stacking specific blocks in a certain shape. After summoning them, they can face zombies, skeletons, and other enemies.

Iron Golems normally appear in villages, when there is a certain number of inhabitants. They need a way to defend themselves from enemies, but the player can also create their own. The Iron Golem automatically attacks monsters, so it’s useful to keep it nearby at strategic points with a Lasso. The Snow Golem is a slightly less powerful ally, due to the lower attack power of its snowballs and little defense when compared to the Iron Golem. Because it is made of snow, it can also be destroyed by common activities, such as getting into water or getting rained on.

  • At least 75% of villagers worked the day before;
  • They all have a bed;
  • The player is 80 blocks from the Village horizontally and 44 vertically.
