Minions are a fundamental part of Hypixel SkyBlock. They are small workers that can be placed on the Private Island to gather resources over time.
Contents
Basics
Minions allow the player to receive resources even when offline. A Minion is placed in the centre of a 5x5 block area (Expandable with a Minion Expander) of varying materials depending on the type of minion.
Collecting resources from Minions counts towards your Skills and your Collections.
Each Minion has its own ideal layout. A normal minion layout can be found below. Following this layout will make sure that the minion you are using will work at its maximum potential.
Minions can be crafted into higher tiers which increases collection speed and maximum storage size. Tier XI is currently the highest tier a Minion can have.
Minion Upgrades
Minions have upgrade slots, unlocked by collecting resources. Each Minion has 1 slot for Minion Fuel, 1 slot for Automated Shipping items and 2 slots for Minion Upgrades.
Minion fuel increases the speed that a Minion works at. Before placing Minion Fuel into a Minion, be aware that Minion Fuel cannot be taken back after you have put it into a Minion. Attempting to get Minion Fuel from a Minion will automatically obstruct the fuel.
Automated Shipping allows Minions to sell resources once their storage is full. The money they gather is held by the Minion until it is collected by a player (in the Automated Shipping slot).
Upgrades have various effects on Minions. Upgrades can be limited to certain Minions.
Additionally, one Storage Chest (Small, Medium and Large Storages) may be placed next to a Minion for more storage. Crystals can also be placed near Minions to further speed Minions up.

*Produces more than one drop per action
Clay makes the most money at max level at the moment. Patch: July 17
{} - indicates that it is an estimate and may not be 100% correct
To work out coins per hour rate for any level use (its divided by two because each second action is placing the block):
Early Calculator before Minion fuel directly changed production rate:
( 3600 / [production rate] x Sell Price per action) /2 * (100% + Minion Fuel efficiency Percentage) * (Automated shipping Hopper sell price percentage)
New Calculator where Minion fuel directly impacts the action time:
( 3600 / [production rate] x Sell Price per action) /2 * (Automated shipping hopper sell price percentage)
Trivia and hints
- Each new level of a Minion is a unique Minion level contributing towards more Minion slots.
Minion Dialogue
Minions have dialogue. Dialogue was added in place to make Minions feel a bit more like sentient beings. Minion dialogue can be seen above a Minion's head (whenever they are "speaking"). Below is a list of some of the dialogue that Minions use.
- "Creeper"
- Followed by "Aww man"
- "Did you say something?"
- "Did you hear that new song?"
- "Hi (username)!"
- "What's up?"
- "We live in a simulation."
- "I'm your favourite, right?"
- "Boop!"
- "Fancy Armor you have there!"[1]
- ”Nothing’s getting though that armor!”
- "This is fine."[2]
- "I'm ironman!" ~ Iron Minion
- "Wanna do something after work?", "Sure! Whens that?", "No. Clue"[3]
- "Hi I'm (Type of the minion)", "I know", "k"[3]
- "What if those stars are other Skyblocks?" "Wow, that's deep" "We live in a simulation." "Calm down, Neo"[3]
- "Shifumi?" "Sure" "3" "2" "1" "(Both minions either say Rock, Paper or Shears at the same time.)" The minion who then wins this game of Rock Paper Shears will then proceed to say "Ha, I won!" while the losing Minion says "YOU CHEATED".[3]
