Security Golem
Base defense in Minecraft often boils down to walls, traps, and hoping your pets don't wander into lava. The Security Golem addon changes that by turning your trusted Iron Golems into intelligent, customizable sentries that actually patrol, verify identities, and strike down intruders. This isn't just a reskin; it's a full security system that brings a new layer of strategy to protecting your builds.
If you play on Forge or NeoForge, you know how powerful the Security Craft mod can be. The Security Golem addon builds directly on that foundation, acting as a specialized expansion that focuses exclusively on autonomous defense. Instead of relying on complicated redstone or vulnerable villager-based alarms, you get a dedicated guard that understands the concept of friend and foe. For players who love base-building and PvP servers, this is the ultimate peace of mind.
What Makes the Security Golem Different?
The core idea is simple: you take an existing Iron Golem and upgrade it using a Golem Conversion Kit. Once converted, your new Security Guard Golem becomes a multi-functional protector. It can patrol custom waypoints, check nearby players for a valid Security Badge, and attack unauthorized players based on your specific rules. The entire system is managed through an intuitive GUI, so you don't need to memorize complex commands.
This addon is perfect for factions servers or single-player worlds where you want a lively, interactive defense system. The golems don't just stand there; they actively move, inspect, and react. You can set up patrol routes around your perimeter, ensuring that no corner of your base goes unmonitored.
Patrol and Threat Management
One of the standout features is the waypoint system. By placing Reinforced Levers around your base, you automatically add those locations as patrol points for your golem. The golem will then cycle through these points, keeping a constant watch. You can toggle between patrol and threat modes via the GUI, giving you complete control over how aggressive your guard should be.
The golem also checks for a Security Badge on players. If a player doesn't have one, they are flagged as unauthorized. You can manage this further with allow and deny lists, which are handled through a dedicated entity picker UI. This means you can specifically whitelist your friends or blacklist known troublemakers without affecting other players.
The Module System: Customizing Your Guard
To truly optimize your defenses, you'll want to utilize the 4-slot module system. These modules are inserted into the golem to enhance its abilities, and the effects stack based on the number of modules you insert.
- Harming Module: Increases the golem's attack damage. Stacking these makes your guard a lethal force.
- Speed Module: Boosts movement speed, allowing the golem to chase down fleeing intruders.
- Smart Module: Improves the AI targeting behavior, making it prioritize threats more efficiently.
- Storage Module: Enables loot auto-pickup. Extra stacks add more chest rows for collected items.
- Allowlist/Denylist Modules: Add specific players to the targeting lists without using the GUI.
These modules drop along with any collected loot when the golem dies, so you won't lose your investments permanently. The in-game manual, crafted as the SCG Manual, provides full documentation on setups and commands.
Utility Features: Bell Recall and Loot Management
Managing multiple golems is easy with the Bell Recall feature. Ring a Bell within 48 blocks, and all nearby owned golems will teleport to your location. This is incredibly useful for repositioning your defenses quickly or gathering your guards for a counter-attack.
The 3-Tab GUI, accessed by right-clicking with SC Wire Cutters, also includes a Loot Tab. This gives you a scrollable inventory (up to 6 rows) to manage all the items your golem has collected from fallen enemies. It turns your guard into a mobile loot collector, saving you time after a raid.
When you are ready to set this up, remember that you need to download Security Golem from a trusted source and have Security Craft installed as a dependency. The installation process is straightforward, but you should always check the compatibility for your specific loader. For players looking for a hassle-free experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Security Golem, automatically handling the version compatibility for NeoForge or Forge so you can jump straight into the action without manual file placement.
Supported Versions and How to Install
Knowing how to install is crucial. The Security Golem for Minecraft supports specific versions depending on your mod loader. For Forge, you will need Minecraft 1.20.1. For NeoForge, the addon supports Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.21.1, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and 26.1. Always match the addon file to your exact game version to avoid crashes.
To install, simply place the downloaded Security Golem jar file into your mods folder, alongside the Security Craft dependency. After launching the game, you should see the new items in your creative inventory. The foxygame.net launcher also features a dedicated add-on catalog, where you can browse and install Security Golem directly, with auto-updates ensuring you never miss a patch or a new supported Minecraft version.
