Configuring a Collector

A collector picks up dropped items and XP orbs in its work area and stores them. Its area grows with the radius stat like every other type. This page builds one from scratch.

Quick start

  1. Open the /plugins/EcoMinions/minions/ folder and copy collector.yml to a new file. The file name is the minion ID.

  2. Set type: collector.

  3. List the items to collect under target-items, or leave it empty for everything.

  4. Run /minions reload, then /minions give <player> <id> to hand the minion out.

  5. Place the minion next to a farm and confirm a dropped item in range is collected.

Naming and IDs

The file name without .yml is the minion ID, as for every type. Everything not on this page is shared by every type and covered in Configuring a Minion.

# === Items: what the minion picks up ===

target-items: [] # Items to collect. Leave this empty to collect everything.

collect-xp: true # Whether XP orbs are absorbed into stored XP.

Items

The minion picks up dropped items in its work area once they can be picked up, by default from one block below it to one above. A stack that only partly fits is split, and the rest stays on the ground. It never picks up a minion item. It has nothing to seed and earns nothing offline, since nothing drops while nobody is there.

XP

With collect-xp: true, the default, absorbed XP orbs go into stored XP, whatever minion.xp.mode says.
