The latest Minecraft update is around the corner, and it’s bringing with it a bundle of new features that are sure to excite players. Among these, the introduction of copper golems offers a fresh and helpful twist to inventory management. Once a fan favorite from the mob vote, copper golems are finally making their debut. Let’s dive into how to create one in Minecraft and how it functions in the game.
What is a Copper Golem in Minecraft?

Copper golems are charming little helpers that you can summon in Minecraft using just a couple of materials. Unlike other golems, these adorable characters aren’t fighters; they focus on managing items in your inventory and chests. Let’s explore what materials you need to create a copper golem.
Items You Need to Make a Copper Golem
Creating a copper golem is simple and requires minimal resources. You will need:
- 1 Copper Block (crafted from 9 Copper Ingots)
- 1 Carved Pumpkin
How to Make Copper Blocks
To create a copper block, you must first gather 9 copper ingots. To obtain copper ingots, smelt raw copper in a Furnace or Blast Furnace using any fuel. It’s worth noting that one raw copper converts to a single ingot.

Look for raw copper in open caves, mining underground, or even on mountain tops. They are abundant and easy to collect.
How to Make a Carved Pumpkin
Next up is the carved pumpkin, which might take a bit more effort to find. Here’s how you can get one:
- Explore villages or your world for fully grown pumpkins.
- Craft shears from two iron ingots.
- Use the shears on a pumpkin to carve it, adding eye holes and a mouth.
- Now, you can break it and add it to your inventory.

How to Make a Copper Golem in Minecraft
Once you have everything, follow these steps to summon your copper golem:
- Place your copper block on the ground.
- Stack the carved pumpkin on top of the copper block, and voilà! Your copper golem appears atop a copper chest.

You can create more copper golems by placing additional copper blocks and carved pumpkins, combining their chests for even more capacity.
What Is the Use of Copper Golems?
Copper golems are designed to help sort items within chests. If you have a mixed stack of items, they can tidy up your inventory by organizing everything efficiently.
Here are some key points about how copper golems function:
- They only pick up items from copper chests.
- They won’t grab items dropped by players.
- If killed, they won’t drop the item they were holding.
- Their appearance matches the copper block you used to summon them, so you can have exposed or oxidized versions.
- Use Honeycomb to wax them and prevent further oxidation.
- No matter what kind of copper golem you have, they can sort items from any copper chest.

In summary, creating a copper golem is an exciting endeavor that enhances your game experience in Minecraft. These helpful creatures can simplify your inventory management, making it an enjoyable task. Have you had a chance to try out copper golems? Share your experiences in the comments below!
