A Minion is a type of resource generator constantly active on Private Islands regardless of whether or not the island is loaded.
Overview
A Minion is an item generator that is constantly active on Private Islands They interact with the 5x5 area around them by placing and breaking blocks, or spawning and killing mobs. By default, you can only place up to 5 of them on your island at once, but this limit can be increased. Most minions also give Skill XP. The level of a minion determines its storage capacity and its speed, both of which can also be modified by various upgrades.
