Minions

It depends on how the server handles loading. Some only run minions while your island or plot is loaded by an online player, others offer chunk loaders or island upgrades, and a few simulate offline production. Check the rules for chunk loading, AFK policies, and any offline-time features.

Consistent cashflow and not stalling. Start with a minion whose output sells well, then prioritize storage and collection so it keeps producing. After it runs smoothly, invest into speed or fuel, then branch into additional minions or better tiers.

They can be if top tiers, the best fuels, or exclusive production boosts are cash-only. Fairer servers keep the strongest production reachable through gameplay and limit purchases to cosmetics or convenience that does not unlock unique output.

Minions can be heavy on entities and item movement. Limits, reduced animations, virtual storage, and stricter hopper rules are common to prevent item spam and TPS drops. If a server feels sluggish, minion caps and collection mechanics are usually the pressure points.

Skyblock is the most common home for the format, but minions show up in prison and survival economy servers too. The core loop stays the same: place workers, automate production, and scale through upgrades and trading.
