what do copper golems do

Copper golems in Minecraft serve as peaceful, organization-loving companions. Their primary function is to help players by sorting items that are dropped into copper chests. The copper golem picks up items from copper chests (up to 16 stacks at a time) and transfers them to nearby normal or trapped chests, sorting them based on item type. Unlike iron golems, which protect players and villagers from mobs, copper golems assist with inventory management and item organization in the game. They can be crafted by players using copper blocks and a carved pumpkin. The copper golem interacts with copper chests, which oxidize over time but can be waxed to prevent this. It searches for chests within a specific range to pick up or place items, making item sorting and storage more efficient around the player's base. The copper golem can also transform into a statue block if fully oxidized, freezing in a pose but retaining any held items. Thus, copper golems act as helpful item sorters and storage assistants in Minecraft's Copper Age update.
