MinionSkyBlock

A free, open-source data pack for Minecraft: Java Edition inspired by Hypixel SkyBlock's gameplay loop — no mods required.

Start on a tiny island in the void and automate resource gathering with Minions — solo or with friends on a realm.

Why you'll like it

• Zero install friction — it's a data pack, not a mod. No Forge/Fabric, no client-side changes for your friends on a realm.
• Idle progression — Minions keep working while you're offline, exactly like the SkyBlock formula that made the mode popular.
• Actively maintained — built and tuned for recent Minecraft: Java Edition releases.

Gameplay loop

Three fundamental pillars:

1. Isolated island — you start on a small island in the middle of the void, with no resources around you.
2. Minions — placeable, craftable entities that generate blocks/resources autonomously. Each minion can be upgraded to increase its speed or production.
3. Mining dimension — a dedicated dimension full of resources to mine.
