The Iron Golem is a Minecraft Minifigure that was first introduced in 2016. It is not actually a minifigure but a buildable figure.

Background

Iron golems are large, strong utility mobs that defend players and villagers. An iron golem can spawn naturally when golems are created by placing four iron blocks in a T shape (as shown in the image), and then placing a carved pumpkin, a jack o'lantern or a pumpkin‌ on top of the center upper block. The pumpkin may be placed by the player, a dispenser or an enderman, but it must be placed last. It needs space around it to be able to spawn and cannot spawn in a confined area. a village first generates in the world. Iron golems also spawn in villages having at least 21 beds and 10 villagers, in a 16×6×16 volume around the village center defined by a bed, a bell, or another meeting point. The chance of spawning is ¹⁄₇₀₀₀ per game tick, which averages to one every 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Iron golems can spawn provided the blocks it spawns in are non-solid and the block it spawns on has a solid flat top surface. Iron golems can also be found surrounding pillager outposts, trapped inside of dark oak cages. When freed, they help the player by attacking the mobs.
