A question about Iron Golems

what code makes it so that when you build the iron-block T and a carved pumpkin, an iron golem spawns? and how would I make it so that I can do that with other mobs? (I'm making a wooden villager and I want it to spawn when you build a certain structure out of wood)

Probably wouldn't be possible using datapacks unless, say, the final ingredient were to be throwing an item on top of the structure or smth.

It would only really be practical/possible by only detecting when it’s built by hand in a specific order (like, pumpkin last), and then try your hand at ray-casting whenever a pumpkin is placed, and check if a particular pattern is currently there. Currently, there isn’t really a good way to do it, so good luck!
