Minions are a fundamental part of Hypixel SkyBlock. Minions are automated resource harvesting NPCs. Each minion will generate and harvest resources within a 5x5 Area. The resource generated varies by minion type. Minions can be upgraded in order to increase their speed and carrying capacity, to a max tier of XII for mining minions, or XI for snow minions and all others. Players start with a Tier I Cobblestone minion on their starter island.

Minions cannot be traded on the Auction House, but can be traded through player to player personal trading.

Minions can be crafted into higher tiers which increases their collection speed and its maximum storage size, with tier XI being the highest tier, and tier XII for mining minions. Tiered minions can be distinguished by their colored patch on their heads, with light green patches being tier II-IV, purple patches being tier V-VII, orange patches being tier VII-X, and cyan patches being tier XI. Also, there is a quick crafting diamond, so that one does not need to manually craft the next tier.

Initially, the player can only place five minions. Furthermore, you can gain an additional 5 minion slots through Profile Upgrades and 25 minion slots by crafting various unique minion tiers. This means players can have a total of 30 minion slots. (see increasing minion capacity).

All players in the Co-op can interact with all Minions on the island.

Cobblestone Minion I Menu

Minions have four types of slots:

  • Minion Skins (Green, 1 Slot) - These are purely cosmetic.
  • Fuel (Red, 1 Slot) - Increases minion production speed. Most will only have limited usage and will destroy itself when used up. The exceptions are the Enchanted Lava Bucket and the Solar Panel. Both power up the minion indefinitely, but the latter works only in daylight.
  • Automated Shipping (Blue, 1 Slot) - Minions will automatically sell generated items once its inventory and Minion Storage Chest (if used) are full. This can be utilized for low-effort minion setups which rely on high NPC sell-value, or minion setups aimed at long times away from the game
  • Upgrades (Yellow, 2 Slots) - Unlike the other slots, both upgrade slots have a variety of different functions they can supply, although some upgrades are exclusive to certain minions.

Some items placed nearby can also have effects:

  • Extra Storage - There is no slot for this, as it is placed directly to the side of the minion. It acts as a chest that a minion can put more of its produced resources in.
  • Crystals - There is no slot for this, as it is placed on the player's Private Island to enhance certain types of minions.

Some examples include the Santa minion skin and the Gingerbread minion skin.

Increasing Minion Capacity

Chart showing the relationship between unique minions and minion slots.

The number of unique minions the player can place on the island increases as they create more unique minions. This includes creating new unique minion types or a higher level Minion of the same type that has already been collected. The table below shows the number of unique minions that can be placed after creating a certain number of unique Minions.

Alternatively, the player is also able to obtain up to five more Minion slots via upgrades at the Community Shop.

Mob Spawning Mechanics

A two-dimensional representation of where a mob can spawn around a minion (top block height is based on the height of mob).

The mechanics of mob spawning minions are similar to that of mob spawners in vanilla Minecraft. The "ideal layout" only shows the general spawning area for mobs around a minion. Minions can spawn mobs only within a 5x5 area centered around them, unless they have a Minion Expander upgrade. The vertical range in which they spawn is 6 blocks (3 below, 2 above, and 1 at eye level with the minion). As long as there is a block for them to spawn on and spawning will not cause them to take suffocation damage, they will spawn in accordance with the minion's normal spawning times. Mobs that are wider than 1 block (slimes, magma cubes, ghast,s etc.) are limited by the horizontal range, but will still spawn partially inside nearby walls and possibly escape. If a mob is outside of a minion's range, it will not kill it automatically and collect the loot.

Improving Minion Setup

A more advanced breakdown for profiting off of minion tiers can be seen under this forum post for a link to a google sheet.

This section is about improving minion setup and maximizing efficiency and coins per hour. This section may change slightly due to bazaar prices and updates in the game so it might not be entirely accurate at times.

Profit Table

This is a table of profits for all minions without any fuel or other bonuses. Prices listed are if sold to the Bazaar (or sold to shop if item cannot be sold on the bazaar).

Bazaar prices are updated every half hourⓘ and cached. To confirm the most up-to-date values are displayed, purge / refresh the page.

Note: This table assumes that the player is using a Super Compactor 3000, and thus uses enchanted item prices. The reason for this is most people use one, and there can be a large gap between what the base item is worth and what the enchanted form is worth. Example: 160 Glowstone Dust is worth 1,712 coins while one Enchanted Glowstone Dust is worth only 548.6 coins, a notable decrease.

Note: Lower tiers (tier VII or below) of these minions are not suggested to use as they have many different kinds of items can be produced that lacking the storage or their enchanted (block) form of items' price are decreased a lot.

What Minion Tier to use for coins

The minion tier recommended for each minion varies due to the price of upgrading certain minions. This excludes ice, snow, and clay, which are all worth getting tier 11, but other minions have better tiers. Of course, it is still worth upgrading just one minion of each type to tier XI due to unlocking minion slots. This data gives a rough idea for planning on using the most profitable minions, but profit changes frequently by the Bazaar. This table below uses the Lapis Minion as an example, showing how long it takes for it to make enough material to pay itself off.

Tier Time to start producing more than cost (hours) Time to start producing more than cost (days)
I 0.69 0.03
III 5.12 0.22
V 37.42 1.56
VII 165.39 6.89
IX 708.73 29.53
XI 2655.15 110.63
XII 4787.39 199.48
Total for tier XII (days) 348.33

Other minions follow this trend similar to the Lapis Minion. Days refer to days in real life, not the in-game days equivalent. It is generally recommended to upgrade minions to tier V at most after maxing out on that minion type for the unique minions (Revenant and Tarantula are exceptions where tier IV is probably better to go for). This is due to the market changing which minions will be the most profitable, effectively rendering past tier V worthless if the best minion meta changes.

Tier XII Minions

Players can upgrade their Tier XI mining minions by exchanging them along with money and resources to Bulvar, located at the entrance of the Dwarven Mines.

Tips and Trivia

  • Increasing a minion's level upgrades its tool material.
  • There was a glitch in early SkyBlock that putting a minion in a chest had a small chance of turning into a Steve or Alex head. They also had colored names.
  • If a minion does the same action twice, it slightly decreases the efficiency of the minion.
  • If the player picks up a minion with fuel inside that doesn't last forever, the fuel will be destroyed.
  • The player's island is loaded when the player, guests, or co-op teammates enter the island. Approximately one minute after all players have left the island, the island is unloaded.
    • By loading the island, some minions may continue the same action endlessly depending on their surroundings. For example, a Cobblestone Minion next to a cobblestone generator will only break cobblestone and will not place any new cobblestone if all other blocks are not cobblestone or air.
  • Minions cannot be placed on Hard Glass. It will instead show only its head and fail to activate.
  • Players can recombobulate a minion. This makes the minion's name Purple instead of Blue when in the inventory. This hints towards Minions being Rare instead of not having a rarity at all.
  • For many variants of the foraging minions, such as the Oak Minion, if you place a block/slab 6 blocks above where the trees are planted, it will always grow into a "simple" tree rather than a normal tree. This significantly reduces the place occupied by the planted trees and allows far easier access to the minion as leaves won't block your path.

Minion Dialogue
