About this project

What does Minion Farmer add?

Minion Farmer: cute little Minions that farm and fish for you. Give one a Minion Base and some emeralds and it harvests every ripe crop, replants it, carries the harvest to a chest, chatters in its own gibberish and docks on its base to refuel, like a robot vacuum.

Line-up

Features

  • Minion Base and emerald fuel: emeralds power every job. The Minion carries a small tank and refuels from its base's store, then naps on the base when everything runs out.
  • Auto farming: wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart, cocoa, sugar cane, bamboo, cactus, pumpkins, melons, berries, honey from full bee nests and modded crops. Works bare-handed; a hoe speeds it up with Efficiency and Fortune. Never tramples farmland.
  • Fishing (Lv.3+): give it a fishing rod and it casts a bobber into water near its base, with Lure and Luck of the Sea.
  • Lumberjack (Lv.2+): give it an axe and it fells whole trees (2x2 giants too), gathers the saplings, sticks and apples, and replants. Houses are never touched.
  • Guarding (Lv.5): give it any weapon (even wheat) and it fights monsters in its area and defends you. Give it a bow or crossbow and some arrows and it shoots them instead.
  • Lives like a villager: with nothing to do it strolls around or chats with your other Minions, and at night it sleeps on its base and wakes at dawn.
  • 15 cute looks: Minions, a honey bear, a bunny, a frog, a bee and more.
  • Two storage modes: keep items in the Minion, or let it carry the harvest to a chest or barrel you bind.
  • Call home and Sort: call your Minion back to nap on its base from the base's window, and sort any chest with one button.
  • Five levels: upgrade with emeralds for a bigger radius, more slots and more speed. Chopping unlocks at Lv.2, fishing at Lv.3 and guarding at Lv.5.
  • Changes look as it grows: tool belt, straw hat, then a crown with gold goggles.
  • Full of personality: animated model (waddle, harvest swing, blinking, level-up dance) and an Animalese-style chirpy cartoon voice with a tone for every look (bright Minions, a deep slow bear, a squeaky bunny, a gloomy donkey, a croaky frog, a buzzing bee), with its words shown above its head.
  • Take it anywhere: pack a Minion into an Empty Minion Egg with all its items and place it somewhere else.
  • Yours alone: name your Minions, and nobody else can break your base or hurt them.
  • Commands: /minion list, /minion tp <id>, /minion remove <id>.
  • In your language: the mod follows the game's language setting. Translated into Thai, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German and French.

Farming

Base Fishing Chopping Archer Chatting Looks

Getting started

  1. Craft a Minion Egg: 4 emeralds in the corners, 4 iron ingots on the sides, an egg in the middle.
  2. Craft a Minion Base (EIE / IHI / SSS: emeralds, iron, a hay bale, smooth stone slabs) and place it in your farm. Put emeralds in it.
  3. Right-click the ground with the egg. The Minion belongs to you, claims the free base and works around it.
  4. Right-click it to open its menu: give it a hoe (optional, it speeds farming up), a fishing rod or an axe, choose its jobs and crops, bind a chest, change the radius and upgrade.

Menu

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1+, Java 25
  • Fabric API and GeckoLib 5.5.7+ (required)
