This means that Minions will no longer receive updates for newer versions of the game. However, the project itself is not fully archived; I will continue to address bugs for previous releases. The latest working release is for Minecraft version 1.21.8. ## 📖 Description Datapack that adds Minions to Minecraft while retaining the vanilla gameplay experience.<br> Explore the seamless functionality in both single-player and multiplayer modes. ### Has included resource-pack for invisible menu's. ## ⭐ Features - Minions that gather resources for you. - A fully interactive GUI menu. - Minion Upgrade Items for storage and speed (includes external buff items). - Minion Tier Upgrades. - Offline resource calculations. - Multiplayer compatible. - 10 Minions per player. ## ⚡️IMPORTANT REMINDER You need permission to use commands to be able to install this datapack!<br> This means that commands must be turned on in single-player and OP in multiplayer.<br> **TimeLib**, the library that **Minions v3** uses, requires command blocks to be turned on when used for multiplayer servers. ## ⚙️ Installation After installing it you need to restart your world with `/reload` and press the install button in the chat.<br> ## ⛏️ How to obtain Minions Minions are overpowered since they obtain resources for you while you don't have to do anything.<br> The Minions are specifically designed for mid to late-game use, requiring a significant amount of costly materials to craft. After defeating a Wither, you gain the ability to craft Minions and all the recipes for both the minions and their upgrade items will be displayed in the recipe book. ## 🔍 Minion Interactions Look at the desired minion you want to interact with and follow it with a right-click to open its menu. The menu has the following items that each have their own function such as: - **Upgrade Module**: Place an Upgrade Module item in this specific slot to buff the minion's speed. This Upgrade Module item can be removed by clicking it again.<br><br> - **Tier Upgrade**: Click to upgrade the minion's tier to the next level. This requires the correct upgrade material, which is shown when hovering at this item.<br><br> - **Minion Information**: Displays the minion's speed, storage, and if it is placed on the correct block. Click to remove this minion and convert it back into an item.<br><br> - **Minion Storage**: Displays how many items the minion has collected. Click to collect the items.<br><br> - **Storage Upgrade**: Place a Storage Upgrade item in this specific slot to increase the minion's storage. This Storage Upgrade item can be removed by clicking it again.<br><br> ## 🧮 How to upgrade Minions Each minion can be upgraded by their respective upgrade items.<br> These upgrade items can be crafted from the drops of the minion.<br> They can also be found in the recipe book in the crafting table.<br> The recipe pattern is either 3x3 or the chest pattern.<br> The upgrade item requirement amount follows the following pattern;<br> T2: 16x, T3: 32x, T4: 64x and T5: 128x.<br> [![Partner Hosting](https://www.bisecthosting.com/partners/custom-banners/032f1237-db85-4efe-b680-37f7471726f7.png)](https://bisecthosting.com/vanderflys)
