Ever thought it was strange that iron armor gives you defense, but Iron Golems (who are completely made of iron) get none? This mod fixes that!
Iron Golems now have 15 defense, equivalent to a full set of iron armor. This makes them a lot more useful for defending the village during the night and slightly more useful in raids, but powerful mobs such as the Warden will still destroy them just as easily.
