The Mud Golem
The Mud Golem is a sturdy creature made from packed mud. It fights hostile mobs to protect nearby players and lands heavy attacks that have a chance to apply Slowness, making enemies easier to deal with during combat. It is designed to feel natural and simple, like a mob that could exist in vanilla Minecraft.

How to summon it
Creating a Mud Golem is straightforward. Place one Packed Mud block on the ground and a Pumpkin on top, forming a small sculpture similar to other golems. Once built, the Mud Golem will come to life and begin wandering nearby.

Growing and maintaining your golem
The Mud Golem can be expanded by adding Packed Mud, making it larger and tougher than its base form. When damaged, it can be healed using water, so rain, rivers, or buckets can help keep it in good condition. This keeps the mechanics simple and consistent with the theme of a creature made from mud.
