Transcripts
minions are by far one of the most
important aspects of Hypixel Sky Block
as they enable you to generate millions
of coins entirely passively or even
level up skills with no work whatsoever
that being said while minions are
incredibly useful they can also be very
complicated and tricky to learn making
it an especially daunting concept for
early or even midgame players as a
result I've taken the time to put
together this video your One-Stop shop
to what minions are how you obtain them
what the best minions in the game are
and how to maximize your minion setups
the goal of this progression guide is to
walk you through everything you will
ever need to know about setting up
minions to accompany you along your Sky
Block Journey so with all that being
said let's jump straight into the first
section of this video before we get into
the juicy details of this video we need
to first start with the very Basics what
actually are minions in Hypixel Sky
Block to put it simply minions are just
an NPC entity that you can place down on
your Island and if they meet all of the
necessary requirements they will start
to generate a specific resource most
minions just require a 5x5 grid of empty
air to surround the block they stand on
however some minions like the fishing
minion require water to surround them so
that they can actually catch fish
minions start at Tier 1 and can be
upgraded all the way up to either tier
11 or tier 12 but whether a minion has a
tier 12 variant is dependent on which
Minion you're trying to upgrade at the
time of this recording not every minion
has had a t 12 variant released yet but
if you're watching this video months
down the line there's a good chance that
every minion can be upgraded to tier 12
by now regardless sometimes it's not
recommended to upgrade some minions to
their maximum levels either way and this
is something that I will cover later on
in this video upgrading minions are
useful for two big reasons the first is
that each tier will increase both the
interaction speed of the minion and its
capacity to hold items but the second
reason is that this will unlock more
minion slots minion slots are simply how
many any available spots you have on
your Sky Block Island that will actually
let you place Minions on and this will
limit the number of minions you're
physically allowed to have on your
Island at any given time this has been
put in place that you basically can't
just load your entire island with
thousands of minions because if you
could do this it would be slightly
broken by default you start with five
minion slots on a fresh profile but you
can upgrade this all the way up to 31
total minion slots at the time that this
video is being recorded surprisingly
minion slots are one of the most misund
OD and the most neglected features
regarding minions in this game so I will
be sure to cover the most efficient ways
to upgrade them later on in this video
needless to say now that we know the
fundamental details about minions let's
talk about why you should care about
them so much and how it benefits you
greatly as a Sky Block player minions
are extremely useful for a variety of
reasons but by far the most sought after
one for the majority of Sky Block
players is the ability to earn millions
of coins at no extra cost because
minions can work passively on your
Island 24/7 they can generate Millions
upon millions of coins entirely free as
long as you set them up correctly
however this isn't the only reason you
should be using minions because they can
also be used to level up any skill that
you might want to boost your XP levels
in or you can use them to level up any
collection as well in fact some
collections in this game require you to
use a minion to even unlock them in the
first place meaning that you definitely
have to set them up if you're trying to
unlock everything in this game minion
items are also extremely important to
know about when setting up your minions
when you open a minion GUI you're
greeted with this lovely menu that shows
the minion stats upgrade info its
inventory and the minion item slots if
we pay attention to the minion items on
the left hand side the first one is
simply a cosmetic slot and doesn't
actually affect the minion performance
the fuel slot shipping slot and Minion
upgrade slots however can drastically
affect the performance of any minion
that you use the fuel you use will deter
determine either how quickly a minion
operates or how much of a specific
resource it produces and some fuels will
even make the minion produce entirely
different items Al together the shipping
slot allows you to either place a budget
Hopper or Enchanted hopper in the minion
which will automatically sell the items
that the minion produces at a percentage
of the NPC price generally speaking you
want to avoid using this slot as it's
always better to just manually collect
your minions and then sell the items
yourself but there are very few setup
that will benefit from the slot which I
will cover later on in this video the
last two slots are just allpurpose
minion upgrade slots and you'll want to
fill these in every minion setup you
ever use because they will heavily
impact how much value you get from your
minions I won't touch on them too much
right now but generally speaking you
will want to use super compactor 3000s
diamond spreadings or minion expanders
in these slots because these will
prevent your minions from filling up
extremely quickly and they also boost
your income Collections and XP gain
overall however now that I've covered
the basics and the importance of minions
in Hypixel Sky Block I'm going to move
on to actually setting up your first
minion setup to get you started with
your Sky Block profile to start your
minion setup at the beginning of the
game the biggest thing that you want to
prioritize is minion slots getting your
minion slot number up as high as
possible is especially important early
on since the base five slots that you
start with really aren't going to be
much of a help as a result you should
always prioritize unlocking as many easy
Minion collections as you can crafting
up as many unique minions as possible
and then storing these minions somewhere
on your profile so you can use them at a
later date do not craft heaps of the
same minion however because this will
not unlock you any more minion slots and
will just waste your materials in order
to actually unlock minion slots you need
to make sure you craft brand new unique
Minions that you've never made before
whether they're just increased tiers of
a previous Minion or a completely new
minion altogether you're going to want
to repeat these minion crafting steps
until you've unlocked around 10 minion
slots because this should be a good
stopping point before crafting minions
gets a bit expensive for the time being
while you're working on the collections
and the materials to get these minions
you can also head on over to the
community shop and make sure that you
upgrade your minion slot profile upgrade
as this will basically Grant you a free
five minion slots as long as you choose
to Max it out the only thing holding you
back here is time so just wait for the
upgrades to finish and make sure you
refresh it once it's done assuming
you've now got yourself 10 minion slots
and you're ready to create your setup
the very first minion that I always
recommend beginners to get started with
is redstone minions Redstone minions are
very important because they will
passively level up your Redstone
collection without you having to do
anything and this is extremely important
because Redstone collection contains
accessory bag upgrades I have a whole
separate video that explains the
importance of accessories in the
description of this video so you can
check that out after you finished with
this one for the time being though
though all you need to know is that the
more accessory slots you have the more
accessories you can fit in your
accessory bag and the more accessories
you have in your bag the stronger your
profile is going to be since accessory
slots are unlocked through the Redstone
collection leveling up using your
minions is definitely the best thing
that you can do at the very start of the
game when setting up your Redstone
minions I highly suggest upgrading them
using regular compactors at the very
minimum however if you invest in some
simple minion storages or even Diamond
spreadings this is going to help you out
even more Diamond spreadings will make
the Redstone minions create both
diamonds and Redstone so you can level
up two different collections at once the
minion storage will help your Redstone
minions store more resources and I
recommend stopping at a medium storage
since anything higher is just going to
be too expensive for now as for the tier
of redstone minion you should be using
tier fives will work fine for the time
being but you can go as far as tier 7 or
tier 9 depending on how fast you want to
unlock your collections and how much
money you want to put into them and with
that being said that is quite literally
your very first super basic Hypixel Sky
Block minion setup while you let these
things run in their own time you can go
ahead and level your skills earn some
coins and figure out other aspects of
the game all the while your Redstone
minions are hard at work and leveling
your collections however once you max
out the collection and it's time for an
upgrade there's a few important Minions
that I'd recommend upgrading into the
next upgrade to Redstone minions is
actually a bit of an interesting one and
that is to use General collection
minions now now you might be thinking
what are collection minions I've never
heard of that term before collection
minions is just a term that's used to
describe any minion no matter what
resource it produces but specifically
what its main purpose is to level a
collection for example if your bone
collection is low and you want to Max it
out you could use a skeleton minion to
slowly level it up passively and this
minion would also count as a collection
minion now if you haven't already
realized the vast majority of the
Minions that you craft to level up your
minion slots are also collection minions
so if you followed this guide closely
you should have a handful of collection
minions just lying around in a chest
somewhere because you had to upgrade
those to actually get your minion slots
as a result my upgrade recommendation
from Redstone minions is to use all of
these collection Minions that you
already have lying around and then place
them down to level up every single
collection that you have until you can
Max them out the specifics of which
collections you choose to level don't
really matter it's more so just being
being able to unlock as many recipes as
possible so you can make your life much
easier if you've managed to level your
endstone collection by hand because
you've done a lot of node mining in the
end then great you won't need to place
down your endstone minion because you've
already maxed that one but if you
haven't even started leveling your
gunpowder collection because killing the
creepers in the Deep Cavin sucks then
placing down your creeper minion will be
a huge help in maxing out this
collection if you haven't noticed
already the early stages of Minion
setups should be focused on preparing
yourself for for the mid and late game
stages rather than trying to rush making
tons of coins or leveling up your skills
as for Minion upgrades that you should
be using for this new setup the money
that your Redstone minions made should
have been able to cover for a few super
compactors at least which are just the
upgraded variant of the regular
compactor you've already got if you
aren't able to afford super compactors
for all of your minions just yet try to
get as many as you can for the time
being and actively work towards doing so
until every single Minion has one this
is by far the most useful minion item in
the entire game and it's going to last
you even when you're using a
multi-billion coin minion setup on the
other hand you should be using either a
diamond spreading or a Min expander in
the second upgrade slot and this will
vary depending on the interaction speed
and the type of Minion you're using to
quickly summarize when you should use a
diamond spreading versus a minion
expander the general rule of thumb is as
follows if you want to maximize your
income then use a diamond spreading if
the minions interact interaction speed
is 15 seconds or faster if the
interaction speed is slower than 15
seconds though use a minion expander
instead because this will typically earn
you slightly more money this isn't
always the case so just be sure to
double check which ones provide more
money specific to the Minions that you
are using if you want to maximize The
Collection game of a minion though then
use minion expanders these will very
slightly buff the interaction speed of
the minion which will cause them to
generate more resources and thus level
The Collection faster that being said
using a diamond spreading can also be
used to level a collection except it's
only going to level your Diamond
collection so it's not exactly the same
thing is the minion expander because of
this it's likely that you're going to be
using all Minion expanders and super
compactors in your new collection minion
setup since this will max out the
collections at the fastest speed and
allow you to upgrade out of it as soon
as possible at this stage of the game
you can also start considering cheap
fuels and I'd recommend trying to push
for enchanted lava buckets if you can
since they're cheap and they last in
definitely so you're not going to have
to replace them at all nonetheless this
concludes the early game section of
today's video so now that you've maxed
out a large portion of your collections
you've got around 15 to 20 minion slots
and you know how to work with minions
effectively now we can start talking
about the more profitable minion setups
or the best ones to level your skills
with depending on your budget your needs
and what stage of the game you're at the
Minions that you want to use will vary
drastically to start things off I'm
going to split these minion setups into
three categories
you've got money-making minions skill
leveling minions and allround minions as
the names imply money-making minions are
designed to make a lot of money but they
won't be focusing on leveling skills or
your collections skill leveling Minions
on the other hand are designed to level
your skills very effectively but they
may not be very good for earning money
and all around minions those are just
Minions that can level skills and earn
you decent coins on the side but they
don't really fit into either category
that well the most common setup that
people upgrade two coming into the mid
game is either clay or snow minions now
technically speaking clay and snow
minions can also be considered early
game but because I like to think that
ear game should be designed on setting
up the minion foundations and not so
much full-blown minion setups I'm going
to leave these in the mid game section
of this video CL snow minions are
considered a very good starting minion
setup because these minions are really
cheap to max out and they also generate
great income for their price better yet
both minions can also help you level
your fishing and Mining skill
respectively which can be super useful
early on if you want to get a head start
on these skills before you start to
manually grind them particularly with
the fishing skill it is very nice to
have a head start in the fishing levels
because that way you can actually use
certain fishing rods to manually grind
the skill rather than having to start
all the way from scratch using some
really garbage fishing rods clay and
snow minions are classed as all round
minions because they make pretty solid
money especially at their price points
but they also level their respective
skills quite efficiently especially the
snow minion the snow minion is actually
so good that it can arguably fit into
the skill leveling minion category as
well because it actually levels your
mining skill really quickly and happens
to be one of the better minions in the
game to do so from my experience it took
me about 6 months to reach mining 50
using a really budget snow minion setup
that had no Buffs and nothing special
about it and this is really good
considering that you can get these
Levels by doing next to no work at all
at a very very cheap price however if
you were looking for something that's a
little bit more costly but will make you
better money then I'd suggest looking
into slime minions slime minions can
easily generate 5 million coins per day
using a very subpar setup but the one
downside to this is the initial setup
cost being much higher than something
like your clay or snow Minions on top of
this slime minions generate no skill XP
whatsoever and they do not level any
collections either so you are quite
literally sacrificing everything just to
make as much money as possible that
being said if you're happy to manually
level all your skills and you're
comfortable with where your collections
are at then I'll leave a link in the
description to my slime minion setup
guide so you can follow that and make as
much money as possible if you're not
super fixated on making tons of coins
though then you might want to look into
melon minions or fishing minions melon
minions are by far the best minion to
use if you want to passively level your
farming and surprisingly you can
actually make really solid money with
them even if you don't choose to max out
your setup too much melon minions Thrive
with consistent AFK for a variety of
different reasons so once again I will
leave a separate video in the
description that covers melon minions in
much more detail if this does sound like
the option for you fishing minions are
similar to melon minions in this regard
but instead of farming XP they Grant
fishing XP the only difficult thing
about fishing minions is the fact that
they generate a lot of unique resources
and fill up super quickly so if you do
plan on using these minions be sure that
you can afford the extra extra large
minion storages to go with it that being
said fishing minions sadly don't make
any good money at all so you should only
be using them if you want to avoid
manual fishing altogether the setup for
these is much simpler than other Minions
on this list though just use whatever
fuel you can afford whether it's an
enchanted lava bucket magma bucket
plasma bucket or even catalysts and then
pair this with the usual super
compactors and Minion expanders since
you're likely using these level your
fishing XP rather than earn coins minion
expanders are going to be more valuable
than Diamond spreadings here now the
last minion setup that I'm going to
cover in this video isn't really a
dedicated setup like the rest of these
but it's more so just some tips to keep
in mind for the mid game the beauty
about clay snow slime melon and fishing
minions is that these minions are almost
guaranteed to never become outdated no
matter how many updates Sky Block goes
through this is because clay snow and
slime minions all make their money by
selling the materials to to the NPC
meaning that unless Hypixel makes some
drastic changes to the NPC prices
they're still going to make great money
snow melon and fishing minions are also
recommended more for leveling skills
rather than generating income and unless
Hypixel releases Minions that do these
jobs better or they Nerf these minions
for some weird reason these will forever
stay at the top as your best options for
these skills that being said if you are
a little bit more ballsy and you're able
to play on shifts in the market very
efficiently
you can actually make substantially more
money using off meta minion choices but
this is generally far riskier and I
wouldn't recommend it if you want a more
hands-off and passive approach to your
minion setup for example when the rift
update came out the price of gas tiers
skyrocketed because they were in
extremely high demand for specific
crafts gas minions ended up being the
best money-making minion in the game by
almost three times as much as second
place and this lasted for about 2 weeks
before they went back to normal again
technically speaking you could have made
outrageous profit amounts if you played
the alpha notice that the gas TI would
become valuable and then use those
minions during that period but this is
quite a lot of work for a short boost of
money and it's not really something that
I'd recommend not to mention if you do
pick up on these Market changes early
you're probably better off just
investing in the material so buying tons
of gas tals and then selling them later
not really switching out the minions to
do so that being said there are also a
handful of other solid minion choices
out there such as sheep gravel chicken
glowstone Pig and even lapis minions but
I wouldn't recommend using any of these
either because you'll likely need to AFK
them more often they might have some
intricate setups to maximize profits and
they'll just be a lot more work to make
super profitable compared to something
like slime minions slime minions are the
staple of the midgame money-making
minions because of how easy and reliable
they are to use while other possible
options tend to not be as reliable even
if they can be slightly better either
way this covers all of the necessary
information regarding the best midgame
minion setups and once you feel like
you've had enough here and you want to
upgrade into something even better then
the last section of this video is
perfect for you late game Minion options
are an interesting one because some of
them are wildly expensive and require
some of the craziest setups to make
super efficient While others are
typically just more advanced and
intricate versions of setups that you've
likely already seen for starters I want
to address the last and also the most
expensive minion in the game The Inferno
minion I won't get into too many details
in this video about how they work but
what I will say is that these minions
are the only way that you can unlock the
chili pepper collection the reason these
minions are considered late game is
because of their crazy crafting and
maintenance costs the tier 3 Minon alone
costs around 4 million coins on average
while upgrading to a tier five is 17
million coins on top of this Inferno
minions are pretty useless without using
hypergolic grade fuel which if you
aren't aware already one hypergolic fuel
will fuel an inferno minion for 24 hours
and the cheapest one costs a little over
4.5 million coins to craft long story
short these minions are very expensive
to get started but have some very
rewarding payouts if you can stick to
them for long enough similar to the
other complicated minion setups in this
video I will leave a link in the
description below that explains Inferno
minions in much more depth so if that's
something that does interest you you can
always check that video out after this
one unlike The Inferno minion though the
next late game minions I'm going to talk
about aren't considered late game
because they're outrageously expensive
but more because their requirements are
very high the minions I'm talking about
are the Red Sand and melum minions also
known as the nether minions both of
these are very tricky to level up to Max
because you need 12,000 reputation in
either faction to get them to tier 12
but they're also quite expensive to
level up to tier 12 too however if you
are willing to work towards achieving
this they will most definitely
outperform your standard midgame slime
setup but they need a lot more attention
in the process for example red sand
minions can be buffed using a snail pet
and a mining Crystal so if you AFK on
your island with a fully maxed setup
using a level 100 snail pet and the
mining crystal is placed you'll see an
even bigger increase in your profits
than you would have seen with slime
minions slime minions can be buffed
using a Magma Cube pet but this isn't
enough to compete with Red Sands myel
minions are pretty much the same as Red
Sands but the mushroom cow pet Buffs
them instead and the prices of both red
sand and melium tend to fluctuate around
each other very often if you choose to
use either of the nether minions it
doesn't really matter which one you go
with just choose the one that matches
the faction that you've picked and it
will serve its purpose just fine if you
are like me and you've got 12,000
reputation in both factions though then
I believe my tends to be a little bit
more consistent cuz it is used in more
crafts than the Red Sand minions so you
can go for that if you really want to
but generally speaking they are the same
thing on a completely different note
though these aren't even the best
money-making minions in the game if you
have the coins to afford a fully maxed
out tier 11 tarantula minion setup then
this completely blows the profits of the
ne minions out of the water tarantul
minions are almost always in the top
three highest earning minions at base
value Ed with no fancy Buffs or setups
but they can also be buffed using a
spider pet and of course you can use
really good minion upgrades to increase
their efficiency too as a result these
are even better for earning coins
passively but their setup cost is over 3
billion coins and at that rate you're
probably going to want to use the even
more expensive setups on this list which
I'm just about to cover because if you
thought that was bad spending 3 billion
coins on the tarantula minion setup then
wait until you hear about the current
ult ultimate minion setup that is by far
the strongest and makes the best money
in the game so the current best minion
setup that consistently earns the most
amount of coins in this game is a fully
maxed out tier 12 Revenant minion setup
now the reason it's so good isn't
because it makes a lot of money from the
resources that the Revenant minions
generate but it's actually from the
combat XP that you gain from collecting
the minions the idea behind a fully
maxed out tier 12 Revenant minion setup
is that you can use it to level up
Golden Dragon pets and once they're
level 200 you can sell them for a
massive profit so very very quickly
summarize how this setup works if you're
on a co-op of eight people with 31 tier
12 Revenant minions you use hyper
catalysts in every single Minion super
compactors and fly catchers to level two
golden dragons at the same time one with
a combat XP boost one with an XP share
and you pass this around to all of your
C members every single day for a huge
boost in XP then you can profit around
150 million coins per day now you're
probably sat here super confused
wondering what sort of black magic is
able to manifest 150 million coins every
single day and I know what I just said
probably sounds like a whole bunch of
mumbo jumbo so once again I'm going to
leave a detailed guide in the
description below which will explain
Revenant minions in significantly more
depth the key takeway from this example
however is the fact that leveling golden
dragons is what's used to profit here
not so much that the resources that the
Revenant minions generate actually earns
you those coins late game Minion setups
are typically just how creative and how
far you're willing to go to squeeze out
every single coin you possibly can from
the minions you use and as a result this
is likely a stage of the game that
you'll probably never even reach whether
it's because you simply don't have the
funds to do so or because you can't be
bothered to micromanage your minions so
much to bring my own experience into
this I personally just use tier n red
sand minions with plasma buckets super
compactive and Minion expanders because
they're relatively low effort and
they're slightly better than slime
minions but for most people even just
these simple slime minion setup is still
the best option nonetheless hopefully
this segment on late game Minion setups
has opened your eyes to the seemingly
Endless Possibilities that you have with
minion setups typically this stuff is
too complicated for the average player
and unless you're really keen on hypers
specific Min maxing I wouldn't stress
too much about trying to achieve this
the final segment of this video is just
a quick collection of extra useful
information that doesn't really fit into
a specific early mid or late game
category these are just valuable tips
I've got that will help you progress
using your minions so be sure to use
these where applicable if you are using
a full skill leveling minion setup try
your absolute best to not claim them
unless the Derpy mayor is active Derpy
boosts all skill XP gain by 50% and he
also doubles minion output so by letting
your minions generate items leading all
the way up to Derpy's election this will
maximize the amount of skill XP you gain
in the process if your minions do start
to fill up before Derpy's active and you
don't want to claim the entire thing you
can always claim out random bits of
items inside of their storages and if
you are using Minions that have Diamond
spreadings you can always just claim the
diamonds in the storages and this will
help free up some space for extra
resources when Derpy does get elected be
sure to wait as long as possible as well
because the double output that you do
get from his perks will be active for
the duration of his election and this
combined with the skill XP boost is huge
if you're using skill leveling minions
when looking for viable off meta minions
there are tons of useful tools out there
that will provide you with valuable data
I've personally had a lot of success
with a website called high minions and
once again I will leave a link to this
in the description below if you want to
use it yourself this website just shows
you simple metrics such as the most
profitable minions based on bizarre
prices at the time how much money your
minions will make depending on what
upgrades you put in them and it even has
a recommended minion upgrading tool to
help you unlock minion slots I'd highly
recommend checking this out if you're
trying to make the most out of your
minions because there are some pretty
useful features this website has to
offer that being said High minions isn't
the only tool out there and I'm sure
there are probably more refined or
better profit calculators that do exist
so if you do a little bit of searching
around I'm sure you'll be able to find
something and then for my final tip of
this video If you're trying to buy
Minions that are typically high in
demand such as slime snow or clay
minions consider buying them secondhand
from other players before crafting them
up yourself often times people in public
lobbies or Discord servers will
undersell their minions at a nice
discount so they can receive some return
on their initial investment this is
perfect for the buyers too as they will
save money and time crafting them
themselves so if you have the patience
for it I highly suggest trying this out
my go-to recommendations are the Sky
Block simplified or Sky Block Z disc
Discord servers which I once again will
leave a link in the description below to
both of these Discord servers so you can
try them out yourself and with all of
that being said that concludes
everything I had for this complete
minion progression guide hopefully you
found this video useful enjoyable or
informative in some way and if you did
consider leaving a like or subscribing
to this channel as this is the sort of
content that I post around here
hopefully I've equipped you with all of
the knowledge you'll need to get the
most out of your minion setups and I
wish you the best of luck progressing in
