If you’ve been a dedicated Minecraft enthusiast, you might remember a quirky mob that was initially pitched for the game but never made it in. Come Fall 2025, that Copper Golem will finally make its debut. This delightful little character is distinct from the Iron Golem, both in its abilities and creation process. These charming helpers are an innovative way to utilize copper, but you’ll need to know how to create one. The steps aren’t found on your Crafting Table, so let’s dive into how you can bring your very own Copper Golem to life in Minecraft.
Creating Your Copper Golem
Constructing a Copper Golem might be the simplest task of all the golems in Minecraft. As the name suggests, you’ll need copper—specifically a copper block—and a carved pumpkin. Here’s how to get started.
Step 1: Begin by placing any copper block on the ground.
Step 2: Take a carved pumpkin or Jack o’lantern and position it atop the copper block to form the Golem’s head.
Step 3: Watch as your Copper Golem springs to life!
While Copper Golems won’t engage in battles for you, they have their own unique functions that can be beneficial around your base. They can assist in sorting your items by collecting objects left in copper chests and moving them to standard ones. Additionally, a fun feature is their ability to oxidize over time, gradually changing from their shiny copper appearance to a bluish tint. This alteration is purely cosmetic, though—you won’t notice any difference in functionality as time passes.
But the excitement doesn’t stop with Copper Golems. The introduction of copper also brings in new ideas like copper chests, which Golems can use, as well as copper weapons, tools, and armor, offering a new tier of equipment that’s a step above stone.
