Goat Terror in the Village: Golem, Are You Even Watching?! In Minecraft

Hello again, explorers of the cubic world! It’s me, your trusty guide to the strangest corners of Minecraft. And you know what? Today, a very... peculiar thought popped into my head. There I was, sipping tea, looking at my peaceful village, and then — bam! — an idea for an experiment I just couldn’t ignore. What if a goat, our mountain troublemaker, headbutts a villager? Would the iron golem, the village’s loyal protector, avenge its ward? Honestly, I thought the answer was obvious, but I had to test it.

Act 1: Gathering the Cast and Setting the Stage

Said and done! I went to the mountains, lured what I thought was the boldest goat with some wheat, and brought it to a specially built pen. I also carefully transported a villager there in a minecart. The poor guy didn’t seem too happy about the change of scenery and clearly didn’t understand why he was locked up with a horned creature. And, of course, I invited the main star — the iron golem.

Everything was ready. The goat, the villager, and the golem stood in a confined space. The atmosphere, let me tell you, was tense. I climbed onto the fence, mentally grabbed some popcorn, and prepared to witness the pinnacle of justice.

Act 2: An Unexpected Twist and Total Indifference

First thought: "How do I make the goat headbutt the villager specifically?" I decided to just stand and wait. After all, goats attack those who stay still for too long. A minute passed, then another... The goat was chewing grass. The villager looked around, confused. The golem stood there like... well, like a literal iron statue. And then it happened! The goat froze, aimed, and charged straight at the poor villager!

BAM! The villager was sent flying, letting out his signature surprised "hmmm!". It was something else! I froze in anticipation. Now, I thought, the golem will turn this goat into a cutlet.

And... nothing. Absolutely nothing. The golem didn’t even flinch (if it had eyebrows, they wouldn’t have moved). It just stood there, unbothered, while the goat, pleased with itself, went back to munching grass. I repeated the experiment a few more times — same result. The villager gets rammed, and the golem watches with complete indifference. What a disappointment!

Pros and Cons of This Discovery

Let’s break down what this knowledge gives us.

Pros:

• Now we know it’s safe to keep goats in the village without fearing that the golem will start a vendetta. Your mountain farm is safe!
• This opens up opportunities for hilarious pranks on friends in multiplayer. Imagine: your friend is trading with a villager, and suddenly a goat knocks them over!

Cons:

• My sense of justice was crushed! I truly believed the golem was the defender of the weak and helpless, but it turned out to be just a programmed bouncer for monsters.
• The safety of villagers is at risk! If a goat can headbutt them without consequences, what’s next? An army of angry llamas?

In the end, friends, the answer is clear: the iron golem does not attack goats, even if they attack villagers. Apparently, its programming only includes protection against official enemies. And the goat, with all its quirks, is just part of the scenery to it. A fun little fact. And I already have a new question brewing... but that’s for next time.
