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
