The video discusses what would have happened if the Copper Golem had won the Minecraft vote in 2021, instead of the Allay. The Copper Golem would have added more functions to copper, including a new block, copper buttons. It would have been created with a block of copper and a carved pumpkin, and would have been able to press copper buttons randomly. The golem would have been able to follow players, but would stay near copper buttons, allowing for creative uses such as solving mazes or creating fireworks shows. The copper buttons would have been able to oxidize, adding a new level of functionality. However, the video also discusses the potential technical complications and risks associated with implementing the Copper Golem, including the possibility that it may not have been as functional as expected. Ultimately, the Copper Golem was seen as a riskier option, and the Allay was chosen instead.
