Arming Modular Golems: Swords, Spears and Mecha Bows

guide

Modular golem weapons provide mechanical defenders with lethal sweeping reach, piercing thrusts, and high-velocity projectile volleys. Fabricating specialized blades, spears, and mecha bows requires combining structural templates with dense metallurgical components, preparing autonomous frames to conquer fortified dungeons and hostile monster hordes.

Forging Specialized Golem Swords

Modular golem swords equip humanoid frame holders with sweeping melee armaments capable of cleaving multiple hostiles simultaneously.

Assembling a Diamond Golem Sword requires a broad nine-slot crafting table layout combining templates and precious gems:

Place two Metal Golem Template schematics in the top-left and bottom-right corners.
Lay two Stick items diagonally connecting through the center slot.
Fill the five remaining open slots with five Diamond gems.
This fabrication produces one Diamond Golem Sword ready for humanoid golem hands.

For early-game defensive garrisons, substituting five Iron Ingot bars for diamonds produces the reliable Iron Golem Sword using an identical pattern.

Upgrading diamond blades to end-game durability is accomplished at a smithing table. Combining one netherite upgrade template, one Diamond Golem Sword, and one netherite ingot produces the fireproof Netherite Golem Sword.

Crafting Golem Spears and Heavy Core Lances

When perimeter defense requires striking targets before they enter melee range, golem spears provide superior forward reach:

Place two Metal Golem Template items in opposing corner positions.
Lay two Stick items along the diagonal axis.
Place three Diamond gems in the remaining three diagonal coordinates.
This arrangement crafts one Diamond Golem Spear.

Substituting three Iron Ingot pieces into the gem positions crafts the basic Iron Golem Spear. Upgrading at a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template and one netherite ingot transforms a diamond spear into a Netherite Golem Spear.

In modern editions, players exploring underground trial chambers can forge the crushing Heavy Golem Spear. Constructing this massive lance on a crafting grid requires three Heavy Core blocks, two Breeze Rod shafts, and two Metal Golem Template pieces arranged with the heavy cores forming an impact head supported by breeze rod handles and structural templates.

Shaping Golem Axes and Slicing Blades

Golem axes deliver devastating vertical chops that shatter enemy shields and deliver high single-hit kinetic trauma:

Place four Diamond gems across the top row and middle-left slot.
Place two Stick handles down the vertical center line.
Anchor the lower corners with two Metal Golem Template schematics.
This layout crafts one Diamond Golem Axe.

Replacing the four diamonds with four Iron Ingot bars crafts the sturdy Iron Golem Axe. Upgrading a diamond axe at a smithing table with netherite produces the Netherite Golem Axe.

Transforming a Diamond Golem Axe on a smithing table using a smithing template and one full Stonecutter block crafts the specialized Golem Slicing Axe, a precision cleaver essential for crafting advanced engineering workstations.

Constructing Mecha Bows and Golem Workbenches

Providing autonomous golems with ranged support requires assembling specialized tension arms and mechanical workstations:

Iron Mecha Bow: Crafted using three Chain links, four Iron Ingot bars, and two Metal Golem Template pieces. The chains form the reinforced outer bowstring while iron ingots and templates construct the tension limbs.
Netherite Mecha Bow: Upgraded at a smithing table by combining one Iron Mecha Bow, one netherite upgrade template, and one netherite ingot.
Golem Workbench: Centralizing advanced golem modifications requires crafting this specialized installation. Place one Golem Slicing Axe in the top-middle slot between two Amethyst Shard crystals, one Smithing Table in the center between two Redstone Dust, and one heavy Anvil in the bottom-middle slot between two Echo Shard relics.
