Cobble Helper

The mob takes over one of the most tedious early-game jobs, gathering blocks by hand for cobblestone, which is especially common in Skyblock. It works directly with a Cobblestone Generator, and the default configuration gathers the block a configured generator produces. Instead of standing idle with a mouse button held down, a player can leave the helper to gather and fill a chest directly. Its animation and sound play while it works, and a Redstone signal can pause it.

The helper is made by converting a regular Minecraft Zombie, which gives it a configurable status effect. Creating it is a ritual rather than a standard crafting recipe, and the steps are documented through EMI as world interaction hints. Upgrades follow the same ritual pattern and raise its mining speed and range. The helper cannot be crafted, and a Redstone signal can disable it altogether.
