The Golems of Minecraft Legends

Who would’ve known all that cobblestone I’ve been stuffing chests with could be the making of great warriors? No matter what your feelings about the aesthetic qualities of cobblestone, its namesake golems are undeniably cute. But that’s not their only quality, not by far.

Cobblestone golems are tough – so tough, in fact, that they can deal damage to not only the charging hordes of squishy piglins, but also the hard surfaces of their structures. Once they start pummeling, it’s only a matter of time before their target falls.

Plank golems

Judging by how cute they look (already seeing a pattern here), you’d think the biggest threat a plank golem poses is a splinter or two, but no! That “nose” you see on their faces is actually a barrel (a.k.a. "snoot") that shoots arrows, which pack a serious punch. Thankfully, their ranged attacks are only ever aimed at piglins.

They’re not as resistant to damage as their cobblestone counterparts but keeping them away from the busiest parts of the battlefield will ensure that they put up a solid fight against the piglins.

Mossy golems

Mossy golems are also cute gentle in nature and literal softies, thanks to the layer of moss covering their hardy bodies. You will never see them hit a piglin nor their structures. However, they are invaluable on the battlefield because of their healing properties. Any battle-worn allies within range of their healing water (including you, the hero) will have their vital energy replenished so they can continue fighting for the Overworld! 

Grindstone golems

Grindstone golems won’t repair your weapons because that’s not necessary in Minecraft Legends. They won’t get rid of your items’ enchantments either because, well, that would make saving the Overworld even trickier than it already is! What they will do is charge eagerly onto the battlefield, so much so that they will knock over entire groups of rambunctious piglins, giving you a leg up when things get a bit too chaotic – which they tend to do whenever piglins are involved.
