## Skyblock Spawners, Minions and AFK Sell Chests: how it works

Spawners, chunk hoppers and sell chests are how your island earns money while you AFK. Stack spawners, collect the drops automatically and let sell chests turn them into cash.

**How to open it:** Buy spawners in `/shop` or find them with Spawner Finder enchants. Use `/sellallspawners` to sell spare spawners after a confirmation.

There are currently 17 spawner types, 5 spawner scrolls and 4 sell chest rarities.

- **Spawner stacking**: Spawners stack up to 250 per block, or 400 when the island owner has Plus.
- **Environmental farms**: Iron Golem, Villager, Guardian, Witch and Silverfish cannot be hit, so you farm them with environmental mob farms.
- **Player-kill spawners**: Blaze and Wither Skeleton only die to player damage, making them strong Combat XP sources.
- **Auto Sell Chest**: Sells everything inside on a timer, from every 15 seconds for Common down to every 0.1 seconds for Mythical.
- **Chunk Hopper**: Collects every dropped item in its chunk, from 32 items per transfer at Tier 1 to unlimited at Tier 8.
- **Collector Chest**: One item that places a Common Sell Chest with a Tier 1 Chunk Hopper on top.
- **Mining Minion**: Place it in front of a cobblestone generator for passive income, then upgrade it through 10 tiers.
- **Random Generator**: Passively generates random value blocks to raise island worth, upgraded with Generator and Grade Charms.

**Note:** Spawners only run while someone is in your island world, so the farm stops when you and your members leave.

**Tips**

- Apply a Multi Scroll to spawn 100% more mobs, or a Scroll of Secrets for enchanted drops worth more when sold.
- Collector Chests need a free block above them, since they place a hopper on top of the sell chest.
- Spawner Frenzy events speed up your spawners by 10%, so stay on your island while one runs.
- Mobs from spawners have reduced health, so they die faster in your farm.

Example: The Spawner Limit upgrade adds 5,000 spawners per level: 125 base plus 15 levels of 5,000 gives an island total of 75,125.

## AFK spawners and sell chests

Iron Golem, Villager, Guardian, Witch and Silverfish spawners cannot be hit by players, so they are farmed with environmental mob farms that run while you are on your island. Their drops go into chunk hoppers and sell chests, which sell them on a timer from every 15 seconds (Common) down to every 0.1 seconds (Mythical).
Spawners only tick while someone is in your island world, so the farm earns while you or an island member is there. Spawners stack up to 250 per block, or 400 when the island owner has Plus, and Spawner Limit upgrades raise the island total to 75,125.

- Scrolls boost a spawner: more mobs, faster spawns, more drops or enchanted drops.
- Spawner Frenzy events speed spawners up by 10%.
- Drops from these mobs are priced for sell chests and hoppers.

## Spawners
Spawners are placed on your island, stack up to 250 per block (400 if the island owner has Plus), and only run while someone is in the island world. Mobs spawn with reduced health. Iron Golem, Villager, Guardian, Witch and Silverfish cannot be hit by players, so they are built into environmental mob farms that feed sell chests and hoppers. Blaze and Wither Skeleton only die to player damage.

## Spawner scrolls
Right-click a scroll on a spawner to apply it. Scrolls come from Scroll Boxes, rewards and the shop (Fire Scroll).

| Scroll | Rarity | Effect (in-game lore) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scroll of Secrets | Legendary | Drops are enchanted versions worth more when sold |
| Multi Scroll | Rare | Spawns 100% more mobs |
| Scroll of Magic | Rare | 20% higher mob spawn rate |
| Scroll of Gods | Uncommon | Drops 20% more items |
| Fire Scroll | Common | Mobs always burn, so they die faster |

## Sell chests, chunk hoppers, collector chests and sell wands
These island items turn drops into money without you standing there.

| Item | What it does | Tiers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto Sell Chest | Automatically sells everything inside it on a timer | Common (every 15s), Epic (5s), Legendary (0.5s), Mythical (0.1s) |
| Chunk Hopper | Collects every dropped item in its chunk | Tier 1 (32 items per transfer) up to Tier 7 (4,096) and Tier 8 (unlimited) |
| Collector Chest | One item that places a Common Sell Chest with a Tier 1 Chunk Hopper on top | Single type, needs a free block above |
| Sell Wand | Right-click a chest to sell all of its contents | Common (50 uses), Rare (250), Legendary (2,000) |

## Minions
Skyblock has one minion type, the Mining Minion (also called Mining Robot). Place it in front of a cobblestone generator to earn passive income on your island.

| Property | Details |
| --- | --- |
| Rarities | Common, Rare, Legendary. Higher rarity works faster and earns more |
| Tiers | 1 to 10, upgraded with money and skill coins |
| Minion enchants | Fortune (from tier 1, multiplies ores mined), Auto Smelt (from tier 6, smelts ores) |
| Storage | Link a chest to store what it mines |
| Island cap | 5 minions, raised to 30 with the Minion Limit upgrade |

## Random Generators
A Random Generator is placed on your island and passively generates random value blocks, raising island worth. Charms upgrade it.

| Upgrade | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| Generator Charm | Upgrades generator speed. Starts at one block every 5 minutes and speeds up with each level |
| Grade Charm | Upgrades generator grade, removing low-value blocks from the pool. Grade 8 generates Coal and Lapis value blocks |
