Automating Golem Crafting and Utility with Goety Machines

The Animator for Golem Assembly

If you rely on golems and constructs, you know that summoning each one by hand with an Animation Core becomes a chore. The Animator removes that repetition. Place it directly on top of a filled Cursed Cage, then insert a bound Waystone into the Animator itself. The Waystone goes in the same way you would put a Totem into a Cursed Cage. The bound location must match the spot where you would normally stand to use an Animation Core. Soul energy is consumed based on how far that bound spot is from the Animator. The machine only starts when it receives a redstone signal and both the Cursed Cage and Waystone requirements are satisfied.

To inspect a loaded Animator, crouch and look at it. You will see its coordinates, the owner, and the required soul energy. Crouch and right-click with an empty hand to see a visual marker of the bound location.

The Arca as Your Personal Soul Reservoir

The Arca is a stronger and more flexible replacement for the Cursed Cage. It stores and distributes your Soul Energy, so you no longer need to keep a Totem of Souls on hand. This block is exceptionally durable. With water preservation and extra Obsidian in its construction, its blast resistance and hardness are matched only by Bedrock.

When you place an Arca, it binds to you as its owner. Crouch and right-click to break it instantly, which is useful given how tough it is. The Arca collects all Soul Energy you gain or spend, and it overrides any Totem of Souls you carry. Because of that override, you should power your Cursed Cages with Transfer Gems instead of trying to fill a Totem while an Arca is active. Runes on the block show which Arca is currently in use.

You can only have one Arca at a time. Placing a second one replaces the first. If your Arca is destroyed, the stored Soul Energy slowly leaks away. That leak causes Soul Hunger, which slows and weakens you until the energy is gone or you place a new Arca. If you somehow have multiple Arcas, right-click an unused one with an empty hand to switch which one is active.

The Soul Absorber for Energy Transfer

Once your Arca is set, your old Totem of Souls becomes less useful. The Soul Absorber gives it a purpose. It siphons Soul Energy from your Totem of Souls, from Evoker Totems, and even from Soul Sand, sending that energy directly into your Arca. A Totem of Souls is drained slowly over time. Other items, like Soul Sand, burn up and vanish once their energy is fully absorbed.

The Soul Menderer for Tool Repair

The Soul Menderer repairs damaged weapons and tools using Soul Energy. Place it on top of a Cursed Cage that contains a Totem or a Transfer Gem. Once active, it slowly restores the durability of whatever item you put inside it.

The Sculk Converter for Area Conversion

The Sculk Converter is a modified Sculk Catalyst. Normally, a Catalyst uses the Soul Energy of dying creatures to turn nearby blocks into Sculk. With the Soul Absorber, you can instead feed the Converter from a Cursed Cage. Give it a redstone signal, and it will draw Soul Energy and spread Sculk around itself. Enchanting the Converter with Potency makes it absorb more energy and spread more Sculk per use. Note that this modification stops the Converter from reacting to nearby creature deaths.

The Dark Anvil for Cost-Effective Enchanting

Regular anvils break, demand high experience, and cap how much you can spend. The Dark Anvil, made with Dark Alloy, fixes those problems. Place it on a Cursed Cage, and it will occasionally draw a large amount of Soul Energy to repair itself. Its costs do not double with each use; instead, they only add one level. If an enchantment or repair would normally be too expensive, the Dark Anvil simply charges the maximum level limit and still lets you perform the action.
