Collections

How Collections work, which ones to unlock first, and how to set up minions for passive income.

Last updated: 2026-04-05

What Are Collections?

Collections track how much of each resource you've gathered across your profile. As you reach thresholds, you unlock:

  • Crafting recipes for tools, armor, and accessories
  • SkyBlock XP milestones
  • Unique cosmetic rewards
  • Minion upgrade recipes

Collections are permanent — gathered resources count even after selling them.

Collections are profile-specific

Collections only count resources gathered on your current profile. If you switch profiles, you start fresh. Plan your profile choice carefully before grinding collections.

Use minions to AFK collections

Set up a minion for any collection you need but don't actively farm. T7+ minions work 24/7 even when you're offline. This is the most efficient way to push niche collections.


Minions — Passive Income Setup

Minions are the core passive income system. They generate resources on your Private Island.

Best Minions for Passive Coins

MinionTierApprox. coins/dayNotes
Snow / ClayT1LowJust for collection unlocks
Sugar CaneT11~400kEasy to set up
WheatT11~300kStable NPC price
SlimeT11~500kSlimeball Bazaar price
LapisT11~600kEnchanted Lapis prices
AlchemyT11~800kNeeds Potion Mixer setup
GhastT11~1.2MGood but costs more to craft

Minion coins scale with setup cost

More expensive minions (T11, Slime, Ghast) give better returns but cost 10–50M to build. Start cheap and reinvest profits. Don't skip tiers.


Minion Upgrades & Fuel

Minions can be upgraded with:

  • Minion Expanders — +1 storage capacity per expander (2 slots max per minion)
  • Super Compactors — auto-compress drops into Enchanted items for more storage
  • Fuel — greatly speeds up minion action rate:
FuelSpeed BoostDuration
Catalyst+25%Infinite
Hamster Wheel+25%Infinite
Foul Flesh+20%3 days
Plasma Bucket+15%1 day
Solar Panel+25% (daytime only)Infinite
Enchanted Lava Bucket+25%12 days

Best all-around fuel

Enchanted Lava Bucket is the best long-duration fuel. Hamster Wheel (from Wolf Slayer) is the best infinite fuel. Use Hamster Wheel on your best minions and Enchanted Lava Bucket on the rest.


Minion Slot Unlocks

You start with 5 minion slots. Crafting unique minion types (across all profiles on your account) increases your global slot cap.

Fastest way to unlock slots: Craft cheap T1 minions of many different types (Snow, Clay, Flower, Cow, etc.). Each unique type only needs to be crafted once.
