A Comprehensive guide on Minions
This guide covers how minions work on survival: the general information, features and how to utilize them. Some minions require a rank or certain experience level of other plugins to be fully utilized! Please open a conversation with me if there are errors & updates related to minions that were not applied to the guide. Thanks Kloppie for keeping us up to date with minion info.

Not having a rank or experience does not mean you can't use the minions, the minions will still do excellent for you.

General information
Minions on this server act as tools to help collect resources, automate chores and most importantly aid in creating passive income. Progressing in survival can be taken two ways, using minions towards gathering useful items for yourself or use the minions to make a passive income that you can invest in different aspects that can help you boost further.
Access all your minions easily with /minions, where you can sort and manage every minion owned by you.

Minions can be upgraded, this means that every minion can work more efficiently and they can be upgraded in the following manner:
Tier 1 > Tier 2 costs $750,000.
Tier 2 > Tier 3 costs $1,500,000.

Before building something with minions, make sure they are in activation range (2 chunks away from the chunk you plan to AFK in)

Minions
Minions come in 8 different types which are described below. Each type of minion has its own features and attributes that can be upgraded.
