Minecraft Bedrock: Copper Golem and Tuff — Mob Vote Feature Request Status

Copper Golem and Tuff in Minecraft Bedrock: Mob Vote Feature Request Status

Quick Answer: The Copper Golem and Tuff were candidates in the Minecraft Mob Vote 2021 (won by the Allay). They are not officially in Bedrock Edition. Addon creators can implement them via custom entities and blocks using behavior/resource packs.

Details

Issue #72 requests adding the Copper Golem and Tuff (from the 2021 Mob Vote) to the bedrock-samples repository as reference implementations. The Copper Golem lost to the Allay in the community vote, and Tuff (a decorative block) was part of the same biome concept.

Current Status

Official Game: Neither the Copper Golem nor Tuff block exists in vanilla Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The Allay (the winning mob) was added in 1.19 (The Wild Update). The Copper Golem and its associated Copper Button mechanics were not implemented.

Bedrock Samples Repository: As of the latest update, the Mojang/bedrock-samples repository does not include official Copper Golem or Tuff reference implementations. This issue remains open as a feature request for sample content.

Community Addon Implementations

Many addon creators have built their own Copper Golem implementations. A typical approach includes:

1. Behavior Pack Entity — Define a custom entity with minecraft:entity component, using copper golem geometry and animations
2. Resource Pack — Provide custom model (.geo.json), textures, and render controllers
3. AI Components — Implement minecraft:behavior.random_stroll, minecraft:behavior.look_at_player, and custom oxidation interaction
4. Copper Oxidation — Use minecraft:variant or Molang queries to change texture based on oxidation state

Tuff Block Implementation

Tuff is a decorative stone block. To add it via addon:

// BP/blocks/tuff.json
{
  "format_version": "1.21.0",
  "minecraft:block": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "custom:tuff",
      "menu_category": { "category": "nature", "group": "stoneBlocks" }
    },
    "components": {
      "minecraft:destructible_by_mining": { "seconds_to_destroy": 3.0 },
      "minecraft:destructible_by_explosion": { "explosion_resistance": 6.0 },
      "minecraft:map_color": "#8B7D7B"
    }
  }
}
