Worst Coins Per Hour Minions
These Minions are generally not worth having down and have the use of counting toward only unique minions. This is a shortlist of the minions that make the least money per hour. These minions can still be worth having down for collections in some cases, e.x. emeralds for Personal Bank upgrades, diamonds for Diamond Spreading to be specific.
 * After the 0.7.7 Update which limited NPC buying, the worst minions really depend on the market. Generally, the worst minions to use (have placed down) are:
 * [WORST] Flower: This minion makes a very small amount of money currently as there is no way to put the flowers up on the bazaar. This minion has been one of the worst since introduced (ice was worse at the beginning). This does have a use in the Romero and Juliette quest line but is not recommended to have down (sunflowers can be obtained but are no longer rare at all), and all it is worth is counting toward unique minions and for the quest listed. However, if a player uses multiple of this and gets a stack of Enchanted Dandelions, it can sell for quite well in the Auction House, selling for 1 million to up to 3 million or even higher, however this is mostly farmed using non-minion methods.
 * Pumpkin and Nether Wart: Due to Pumpkin being used extensively to level up the Farming skill, this minion is just not worth having down at all. Nether Wart can be largely farmed automatically without the minions, making the minion useless (except for collection and unique minions). Nether Wart minion is nice if the player is manually farming for the potion affinity artifact.
 * Emerald: Emeralds are largely useless except for powering up Emerald Armor. However, the personal bank requires emerald collection progress, and several emerald minions are the only way to upgrade the personal bank.
 * Enderman: Due to the number of people farming Zealots and Endermen in the end, the price of ender pearls has decreased to a point that it is better to have a different minion make money while buying the ender pearls from the bazaar. This minion is somewhat decent if the player is grinding for the Aspect of the End sword, but the user will struggle to deal enough damage to the Endermen in the end.
 * Diamond: Due to Diamond Spreading along with SC3Ks making a good amount of diamonds, Diamond minions are a lot less efficient. These should be used only in the early game for unlocking the diamond spreading recipe or if the player has not acquired many SC3Ks yet.

Best Coins Per Hour Minions

 * After the 0.7.7 Update which limited NPC buying, the best minions really depend on the market. Generally, the best minions to use are (Using them with the upgraded Super Compactor 3000 s (SC3Ks) and Diamond Spreading) :
 * [Combat] Revenant and Tarantula: It is suggested that the player uses tier IV at most because up to this level is extremely cheap but beyond this level gets very expensive. For the Revenant Minion, use an SC3K and Diamond Spreading, along with a medium storage chest. For the Tarantula Minion, use an SC3K and a Minion Expander (otherwise it fills up to easily) along with a large storage chest to prevent it from filling up. (Note that quite often does the enchanted iron stay in the large chest, leading to perceived low yield.)
 * [Mining] Lapis and Redstone. Generally, these two are the best minions to use for profit with Diamond Spreading and SC3K. Only tier XI has larger profit than slayer Minions; however, this is not recommended as it will take actual years to pay off (refer to below).
 * [Farming] Potato, Cocoa Beans, Wheat or Melons: This is the best farming minion that can benefit from the farming crystal; use in conjunction with the Farming Crystal and a Legendary Rabbit Pet for similar to better profit (while online) than the tier 4 slayer counterparts. This assuming a tier VII setup; anything lower and the slayer minions will be better all the time.
 * Note whilst the enchant replenish happens the CPH of these minions will likely decrease.
 * [Farming] Rabbit, Chicken, Cow and Sheep: These minions are generally good as they drop more than one thing and all drops are worth a modest amount at the Bazaar. These aren't affected by Rabbit Pet; use a Legendary Chicken Pet and an Enchanted Egg if going for chicken minions.
 * [Foraging] Jungle (Spruce): Use a Woodcutting Crystal and Legendary Ocelot Pet (SC3K and Diamond Spreading).


 *  The Minions that follow are on par or worse than the ones above, Please use these minions only as a beginner to earn early profit. 
 * [Mining] Snow: Because of the guaranteed profit from NPCs, this minion is not better than any of the minions listed above until it reaches tier XI. At this point, it is on par with the others even at NPC price. One upside of this minion is that it is by far the best source of mining XP, a skill otherwise quite hard to level.
 * [Beginners Only] Coal, Iron, Gold (best to worst): Due to compactors being cheap, use an Auto Smelter for iron and gold. For coal, use a Diamond Spreading. If they fill up too fast, refrain from using Diamond Spreading. See Lapis and Redstone above for better profit.
 * [Fishing) Clay: This minion can be used only for fishing exp, see snow for better NPC profit. A high level fishing minion could be used instead.
