Good Morning MineCrafters! Welcome to Day... 1625+ of the suggestion
(Name Changed From: OFFICIAL GOLD GOLEM THREAD)
Quote from Sacheverell.Surprisingly solid idea you have there. Not sure how much work it would be for Mojang to program it, but definitely interesting.
--------------------START-HERE--------------------
When I found a pyramid it was just too easy to get my 11 gold, 2 emeralds, 3 diamonds, 12 iron, and 9 TNT. there needs to be something more to protect it. Such as "Desert Guardians" AKA "Gold Golems".
Health Points
200 (x100) (Debatable)
Armor 4 ()
-Includes Boss Health Bar
-They do not: Take fall damage, Drown in Water or Burn in fire/Lava
-Slow healing factor so that you can't attack then wait a long time then attack again
-High resistance to ranged attacks
Attack Strength
Melee Strike:
Easy 4 () Medium 6 () Hard 8 ()
Charge Attack:
Easy 7 () Medium 9 () Hard 11 ()
Laser Attack:
Easy 4 ()+ Medium 6 ()+ Hard 9 ()+
(see info below)
Spawn
-In Desert Temples
-Only ONE Gold Golem will spawn in the temple
-If a Gold Guardian generated as part of a Pyramid is killed, another will NOT spawn to take its place.
-The Golem WILL spawn in peaceful, but will stay inactive.
Drops
(5-10)(Why Gold? Because Ancient Egypt used Gold Plating on it's statues))
(3-6)(Why Lapis? EXCELLENT QUESTION! The golem has blue glyphs on it and i like Lapis)
( 1 )( Mob Head. Trophy/Used to create Inanimate Statues) (more info below)
( 1 )("Power Core". An Item Used To Revive The Fallen Boss) (more info below)
(Not so strange to think about now-a-days since the dragon can be re-summoned with a single purpose item)
Experience
50 EXP
(Iron Golems Drop 0)
(Wither Drops 50)
(Dragon Drops 1,200)
Movement
Rather slow unless charging
(more info below)
Does not need to jump to move up 1 block
Behavior
-The golem will stand dormant in the Pyramid like a statue until a player gets within it's line of sight
(10 Blocks), then it will "Wake Up" and attack the player.
(It will also awake if any chests within a 20 block radius are interacted with. Eyes are dark while Inactive)
Once awake, it's awareness of the player will extend 32? blocks.
If the player manages to escape, the Gold Golem will give up the chase and go back to its spawn point (or if target is killed).
It moves slowly, but when it gets close (5-8 blocks Ish?), it will begin its attack pattern:
-Attempting to Melee the player three times, raising it's arms for a moment then brings them down, giving about half a second to react and move away.
-After that, Its jaw will drop, the Eyes Glow Red and it will charge the player, making a low Roar as it attacks. This sprint can only be stopped by a wall (of at LEAST 2m tall) OR if the golem has charged for a distance of 10 blocks, causing a sort of bull fighter effect.
(Anything weaker than blast resistance 30 EXCEPT for sandstone/sandstone variants will be broken on impact. stones/sandstone will show damage cracks but never break from impact.)
-Finally, After it has come to a stop, It will look at the player, after a few seconds will shoot a beam from its mouth in a horizontal line with the player in the midpoint, causing a sort of sweep attack from left to right. (This laser will be able to break the same blockset as the charge attack, igniting any Mob/Player in its path as well as any blocks it comes in contact with. The point of this is to clear out possible barricades the player has built around it, or used to hide.)
-If the player cannot be reached for Melee attacks (Like, being stuck in a hole or a small doorway) The Golem will go strait to using its Charge (To break a wall that's possibly blocking it), Then continue with the Laser.
Gold Golems do not attack random monsters because random monsters don't want to steal treasure. A Gold Golem's primary purpose is to defend Pyramids from raiding players
(But using one as a guard in your prison/gladiatorial battle/boss for your dungeon, is also GREAT!)
(And Because they only target players they cant be used to make mob grinders to get items easier.)
WHY ATTACK PLAYERS?:
Gold Guardians are meant to protect Pyramids from THIEVES (Players) As Iron Golems protect Villagers from zombies.
(And YES, Players are thieving from the pyramid, there is no way to sugar coat it. You tomb raiding player you......)

They do not; Take fall damage, Drown in Water or Burn in fire/Lava
The Guardian Can NOT Be Tamed!
(The Purpose of the Golem is to attack players. NOT RANDOM MONSTERS! If you want that then make IronGolems. Not Going To Debate It.)
Crafting A Statue/Reviving the Boss.
To craft An Inanimate statue place the dropped boss's head onto a T of gold blocks.
To revive, use the "Power Core" on the statue to bring it back to life with a mighty roar and a short "Boot up" time

If you have been to one of these temples. you will see THIS BLOCK all over. It is the reason for the creeper faces and the Lapis bands. There ya have it.
I will not make a poll. This thread has had a number of polls, each having up to a thousand "yes" votes, so I don't find much of a reason to make one.

The Idea:
I thought how to make in-game ores better, we could add Ore metadata on an actual block. This would work as followed: Block; as smooth stone spawns and it's given a metadata of an ore block that would normally spawn at it's place. Imagine a cluster of andesite and the world generation would cause a single diamond ore to spawn at the surface. instead of replacing the block with an ore block, the andesite block would spawn with diamond ore metadata.
Examples:
Textures:
(image example- used iron)
In game:
Change applied:
Current ores:
Just to clarify:
"Ores in every block" isn't literal. The point is to change the mechanics of how ores work so that they don't need a new kind of block for every ore type. Instead the ore is stored as metadata for the block. A possible extension of this is the ability to put ore in ANY block, however chances are ores would still be restricted to stone blocks like stone, granite, diorite, and andesite, instead of just in stone only.
One could do an entire creative page just for ores (or rather just for ores in stone, granite, diorite, and andesite)... or they could add a shift right click function to the pickaxe in creative mode that allows the player to cycle through different ore values (or other metadata for other kinds of blocks), or leave the creative inventory menu as is and just modify the appropriate console commands to account for ore in blocks other than bland grey stone.
(thanks Unclevertitle for this clarification)
How ores will be handled for mining:
Regarding mining these modified blocks the stuff is very simple:
Mining speed: Block.
Drop and tool tier requirements: Ore.
Iron, gold ores will be dropped as raw non-block items.
Example:
Dirt with coal metadata
- Coal ore can be mined with a wooden pickaxe upwards.
- Preferred tool for the dirt block is a shovel.
Result
When you use a Wooden shovel (or better), the block will break at a normal speed and it would yield only the coal chunk.
Otherwise it would break and nothing would drop.
Obsidian with Iron ore metadata (note that obsidian is generated after the world so, no obsidian-infused ore would exist naturally).
- Iron ore can be mined with a Stone pickaxe upwards.
- Preferred tool for the obsidian block is a diamond pickaxe.
When you use a Stone pickaxe (or better), the block will break at a normal speed and it would yield only the raw iron chunk.
Otherwise it would break and nothing would drop. (note: when you use a stone pick, the mining speed would be equal to that of a normal obsidian block)

Now we need a Reyner mob: "what a bunch of jokers"

Small change, but it would be useful. Support.

Great idea. The fortune encxhantment could be applied to seed drops. The harvest enchantment could increase farm drops.

When you created new world; did you used a name that was previously used by any of your other worlds? Reis minimap saves vaypoints away from world data so if you delete the world, it's waypoints remained and were loaded with the new world.

1: We have golems already (two in fact), but not in hostile mob form. (you can make iron ones attack you though).
2: It would be weird to tame a humanoid "sentient" being. You have the villagers to fill that role.
3: Again, we have enderman for moving blocks, creepers for blowing them up. Adding a mix of the two would make these mobs not as unique.
4: Only good idea. Fun fact: Notch (original creator of Minecraft) wanted to add a red dragons way in beta, but unfortunately the idea was scrapped for unknown reasons.
5: Wither skeletons have rare chance of spawning from skeleton spawn eggs. Spider jockeys can be spawned the same way using a spider egg or commands. As for wither. Well its a boss mob and it has its own spawning method, hence a spawn egg wouldn't be necessary.
Partial Support.

ores would spawn naturally in regular stone (regular, diorite, andesite, granite) and sandstone variants, the rest is just to showcase the possibilities with this idea.

Oh so we have floating dirt cubes in real life? WOW I didn't knew!! Show me mister, i would be very glad.
