Minions Minecraft Mod


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.






Minions can [currently]:
  • follow you around
  • be sent to places
  • chop down entire forests
  • carry you, animals and other players
  • dig mineshafts complete with stairwell
  • 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
So, here's the short minion manual:
  • Kill enough stuff to reach lvl 8
  • Press M and do evil 4 times
  • Receive Master Item
  • Right click Master Item to spawn Minions
  • Right click to issue orders, context-sensitive (a place, trees, an animal, an ore vein)
  • Also press M for mining shapes.
  • Right click 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
  • Leftclick Minions for working incentive .... mueheheheh
Minions are fully compatible with SMP. However there may be oddness regarding their movement and animations - i'm not sure that is fixable.
