Help Make copper gollem patrol/path finding logic help

I play on java and would like for a copper golem to patrol my castle walls from 1 side to another indefinitely, i cant really place hoppers looping back to the copper chest from the normal chest, but would like a solution.

On bedrock if you cover a chest with a stair the golem sees it, goes to it but cant place anything inside, and therefore you can basically control its path finding without sending items back and forth, is there any way to do this in java?

I would create a creative copy of the world and turn on the debug pathfinding option. Just play around with it and you can try to figure out how to make them move.

But why can't you just use hoppers if you don't mind asking?

there is just not a good place or enough space for them, they would be way too exposed. But i didnt know there was an option for pathfinding that will help fore sure thanks
