by Darkjustdark

Resource Minion Mod adds minions to Minecraft, implemented as a literal Mining Minion block that collects resources on its own.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

Minions are generated from simple JSON files, so new minion types can be added without writing code, and each one can be configured for its armor, tools and resource output. Block actions run on timers that scale with the minion's settings. Installation needs Fabric API and Better Runtime Resource Pack (BRRP). The mod runs on client and server and is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License. It is not open source.

Key features

  1. Mining Minion block

    The mod implements a Mining Minion as a placeable block that performs mining actions in the world.

  2. JSON-defined minions

    New minion types are added through simple JSON files that set their armor, tools and resources.

  3. Scaling action timers

    Block actions run on timers that scale with the minion's configuration, so output speed can be tuned.
