By now, many great extensions of the Minecraft gameplay exist (such as Industrialcraft, Buildcraft….) but they have one common weakness. They usually require you to amass X resources before you can make use of the advanced stuff. The process of mining down and then stripmining for raw materials has become very repetitive and boring after a while, so atomicstryker decided to make Minions should do it for you.
This mod is made by atomicstryker, please visit the original thread (here) for more details.
Minions can [currently]:
- follow you around
- be sent to places
- chop down most any kind of trees, including Jungle giants
- carry you, animals and other players
- pickup and carry Items in their inventory
- dig mineshafts complete with stairwell
- dig out a custom sized space you define
- mine ore veins you point out to them
- intelligently strip mine where you tell them to
- return their goods and loot to you
- or to a chest you pointed out
They don’t come for free, you have to prove your worth by slaying living beings (to accumulate levels) and then take action for the dark gods. Only after a number of evil deeds they may grant you minions.
Short Minion handbook:

- Also press M for mining shapes.
- Rightclick chest (FROM DISTANCE) to set it as destination
- Charge staff like a bow to have minions follow you
- Rightclick minions to have them drop whatever they have
