Why Isn’t My Iron Golem Attacking?
Your iron golem isn’t attacking because it may not be able to detect any hostile mobs within its range, or it could be that the golem is player-made and therefore will not attack players unless they attack it or a villager first. To resolve this issue, ensure that there are no obstructions between the iron golem and the mob, and that the golem is not in the water, as this will render it passive and immobile.
