Minecraft – Dealing with angry iron golems without a bow

minecraft-java-edition

Is there a way to make iron golems friendly again/return to their original state?
One day in a village I was collecting wheat, and suddenly a villager stepped in front of me right as I was harvesting a stalk, and I accidentally punched the villager. Then the local iron golem came and started to attack me, so I ran into my house. I’m trapped inside because the golem is faster than me.

Best Answer

An iron golem works like the wolf in terms of aggresivity, so you should do the following.

  1. Gather up 3-4 stacks of dirt or other scaffolding.
  2. Break out of the house through the ceiling and pillar up 10-15 blocks.
  3. While crouching, build your way out of the village until the village’s chunks don’t render anymore. The iron golem will not follow you outside the village limit because of it’s AI.
  4. Get down safely.
  5. Wait for at least 20 minutes. (IRL)
  6. You can now re-enter the Village safley.

P.S. An alternative is quickly opening the door to your house, hitting the golem and closing it again. Rinse and repeat until dead.
