Minions — Your Survival Helpers

Tired of grinding alone? Our purchasable Minions are here to help automate your survival efforts using your hard-earned Shards (our in-game currency). Whether you're farming, mining, fishing, or crafting — there's a minion ready to assist.

How It Works

• Buy Minions with Shards in our in-game shop.

• Place them in your base or island.

• Equip them with the correct tool (like a pickaxe, axe, hoe, etc.).

• Upgrade them over time after x number of actions are performed.

They work while you're online — and if your chunks stay loaded, even while you're offline!

️ Available Minion Types

Lumberjack Minion

Chops down trees in a spherical area.
Give it an axe and let it handle the wood!

️ Miner Minion

Place it near a gen and give it a pickaxe.

Minion Upgrades

Each minion type can be upgraded up to 10 levels.

Upgrading increases:

• Range (how far it works)

• Speed (how fast it performs actions)

• Storage / Multiplier (for Seller and Slayer minions)

Upgrade costs scale with:

• Actions performed by the minion (e.g., blocks broken, mobs killed)

Example: Upgrade your Lumberjack from Level 1 to Level 2 with 100 logs chopped.

Tool & Storage Automation

• Minions use durability on tools.

• Tools can be automatically pulled from a linked chest.

• Storage chests must be within 30 blocks of the minion.

• Minions will display a warning hologram if they encounter a problem.

Getting Started

1. Purchase a minion using /shop.

2. Place the minion on your land or island.

3. Give it the required tool.

4. Link a storage chest.

5. Let it work and upgrade as you go!

️ Limits & Notes

• Each player starts with a limit of 1 active minion (upgradable via ranks).

• On islands, the default minion cap is 10 total.

• Only you can access and break your minions.

Minions are your loyal helpers — powered by shards, fueled by automation, and built to make survival less grindy and more strategic.

Work smarter, not harder.
