So I was thinking that minecraft snowgolems should be customizable. By that I mean that snow golems should be able to wear armor and have weapons. The idea is that you can give snowgolems armor and weapons such as swords and bows. So here is how it will work:
Swords:
Snow golems will be able to get equipped with swords. The snow golem will still throw snowballs at opposing mobs. However, when the mob comes into melee range, the snowgolem will attack with the sword it has equipped. If you give the snowgolem a new sword the old one will drop so that you can pick it up.
Bows:
When a snowgolem is equipped with a bow it will shoot arrows instead of snowballs. The snowgolem's fire rate will stay the same. The arrows will deal maybe 1 or 1.5 hearts of damage.
Armor:
You will be able to equip a snowgolem with a set of armor. It will give the snowgolem the same amount of protection as a normal set of armor would. When you equip a snowgolem with a helmet the pumpkin that its wearing will be in your inventory and you will see the snowgolem's real face.( Which is just a regular snowman.)
Snowgolem death:
When the snowgolem dies it will drop the snowballs that it normally drops. It will also drop the items that it is equipped with. However the weapons and armor will be damaged a bit.
Armor buffs:
If the snowgolem is wearing boots then it can swim in water but will instantly take damage if it goes under the water. If the golem is wearing a helmet then it will be protected from taking damage in hot biomes. But it will still take damage in the nether.
Enchantments:
Enchantments will work exactly the same as they usually do.
Notes:
I was also thinking that maybe if the snowgolem is equipped with a full set of armor that it will get a heath boost but, it would only boost the snowgolem's health to 4 or 5 hearts(instead of its previous two.)
So tell me what you think of the idea. Please also leave your own suggestions this topic!

Decent idea, but I dunno how much people would want it as a whole? Maybe try to make an MVP and see how everyone responds to it cause i'm a bit on the fence right now.
When I read the title I thought it would be like customizing the golem's face or by adding more snow to it making it bigger and stronger.

Message me yours if you want to trade in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just need some friends to play with. I can also do Pokemon trades in Pokemon X(or Y), but I don't have any good stuff, and the only good stuff I have is not for trade so...send me requests anyway.

Waste of armor and items IMO, for a snowman that will go and get killed shortly after going far away from their spot chasing mobs way stronger than him.
But i would like it tho, if they could be upgradeable, like having to craft parts of it so you can improve it... actually, you gave me a very good idea.
This would make a great mod... just as Karrotsmuthi said.
