How to Make Copper Golem in Minecraft

Build a Copper Golem by placing a Copper Block and putting a Carved Pumpkin on top. The pumpkin must be the last block placed, and the copper block turns into a Copper Chest as the golem spawns.

You'll need

  • 1× Block of Copper (any oxidation)
  • 1× Carved Pumpkin or Jack o'Lantern

Station / tools

  • No special station required.

Yields: 1 Copper Golem

Step by step

  1. 1

    Place a Copper Block

    Set down any Block of Copper — unoxidized, exposed, weathered, or oxidized. The golem spawns with the same oxidation level as the block you use.

  2. 2

    Add a Carved Pumpkin last

    Place a Carved Pumpkin (or Jack o'Lantern) directly on the copper block. It must be the final block placed — by you, a dispenser, or even an enderman. The pattern also works sideways or upside-down.

  3. 3

    Meet your golem

    The copper block becomes a Copper Chest and the Copper Golem spawns. It pulls items from copper chests and sorts them into nearby wooden and trapped chests.

Tips

  • Wax the golem with a Honeycomb to stop it oxidizing — an unwaxed golem slowly oxidizes and eventually freezes into a Copper Golem Statue, dropping its items.
  • A lightning strike (or a Lightning Rod nearby) instantly removes all oxidation and reactivates a frozen statue.
  • The Copper Golem was added in the September 2025 'Copper Age' update.
