Snow Golem (New)

Registry name

etfuturum:snow_golem

Audit correction: previously written as etfuturum.newSnowGolem. This name overrides the vanilla entity of the same name. Evidence: core/proxy/CommonProxy.java:255 registerEntity(EntityNewSnowGolem.class, "snow_golem", 11, ...)

Basic info

Health: Inherited from EntitySnowman (standard snow golem health: 4 HP)
Armor: None
Size: Inherited from EntitySnowman (standard snow golem size)
Spawn conditions: Inherits from EntitySnowman; can be spawned by player or naturally in snowy biomes
Drops: Pumpkins (when sheared), snowballs (default)
Behaviour: Snow golem with shearing support. Key change: pumpkin is a separate equippable item, stored as a data watcher flag, rather than baked into the entity model.

Differences from vanilla EntitySnowman

Feature	Vanilla	This mod
Pumpkin	Hardcoded as part of model	Equipable/removable via `IShearable`
Shearing	Not supported	Supported: shear pumpkin off → drops pumpkin item, sets `HasPumpkin=0`
Shearing result	N/A	`Blocks.pumpkin` item

Pumpkin state

Data watcher object HAS_PUMPKIN (id 12): 1 = has pumpkin, 0 = no pumpkin
NBT key: "HasPumpkin" boolean
hasPumpkin(): returns true if data watcher byte == 1

IShearable implementation

isShearable: returns hasPumpkin() — only shears when pumpkin is equipped
onSheared: returns ArrayList<ItemStack> containing one pumpkin block; clears HAS_PUMPKIN flag

Notes

Extends EntitySnowman (which extends EntityGolem → EntityCreature → EntityLiving → Entity)
All other snow golem behaviour (snowball shooting, AI, health) is unchanged
getPickedResult uses WOODEN_ARMORSTAND? No — inherits from parent. Actually getPickedResult is overridden in EntityArmourStand only; this class does not override it.
Sound events inherited from parent class

Configuration gate

Entity registration: ConfigEntities.enableShearableSnowGolems, key enableShearableSnowGolems, default ON (configuration/configs/ConfigEntities.java:66; wiring at core/proxy/CommonProxy.java:254-255). This entity replaces the vanilla minecraft:snow_golem, so turning the option off restores the vanilla snow golem.
