Overview
The iron golem is the best defensive mob in the game: 100 health, immune to drowning and fall damage, and a swing that deals between 7.5 and 21.5 on Normal while launching the target into the air. It patrols villages, attacks any hostile mob except creepers, and hands poppies to village children. Hit a village golem and it turns on you; hit a golem you built and it will not. Repair it with iron ingots.
Iron Golem is a utility mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 100 damage — 50 hearts — to kill one. Its attacks do 21.5 damage on Normal.
