New! MinionsWe're thrilled to unveil a total revamp of the minions in OpSkyBlock.
This overhaul brings new minions to the game, modifies the ways you can acquire them, and boosts their significance in the skyblock economy.
Our aim is to enrich your gaming experience by integrating minions more closely into your strategic planning, providing a broader range of options for advancing in the island competition alongside your island.
Mining MinionsThese spawn in the cave of the Realms World and represent their specific ores. When killed they have a small chance to drop a minion.
Coal Minion | Iron Minion | Gold Minion |
|---|
Lapis Minion | Redstone Minion | Diamond Minion |
|---|
Custom Crop MinionsThe custom crop seedlings, alongside their recipe, also have a chance to drop their respective minion.
Coconut Minion | Pear Minion | Grapefruit Minion |
|---|
| Papaya Minion | Grape Minion | Pineapple Minion |
|---|
Crop MinionsWhen harvesting crops in the Realms World, a crop minion has a small chance of dropping.
Wheat Minion | Carrot Minion | Potato Minion |
|---|
| Melon Minion | Dead Bush Minion | Blue Orchid Minion |
|---|
Lumberjack MinionsWhen mining logs in the Realms World, a lumberjack minion has a small chance of dropping.
Oak Minion | Birch Minion | Jungle Minion |
|---|
Acacia Minion | Dark Oak Minion | Spruce Wood Minion |

New! Minion UpgradesFollowing the extensive makeover of minions, we've overhauled the upgrade system to boost their effectiveness and usefulness.
The upgrades you can now apply to your minion include:
 Storage Upgrade |  Speed Upgrade | Production Upgrade |  Treasure Upgrade |
|---|---|---|---|
| The amount of items that can be stored inside the Minion. | The time in seconds a minion needs to generate their resource. | The amount of resources a minion produces per production task. | The treasure upgrade makes it so your minion can give you the condensed version of the item it produces. |
New! Minion ArtifactsWith the launch of minion artifacts, we're adding a thrilling new dimension of customization and strategic depth to your minions.
These artifacts fall into three unique categories: Item Artifacts, Minion Artifacts, and Island Booster Artifacts.
You can acquire nearly all of these items from the newly introduced Minion Artifact shop, where any boss fragment you've gathered can be used to make purchases.
Item ArtifactsThese item artifacts are separate items you can place down in your island, or can be used by having them inside your inventory.
Minion Upgrade Token | Inventory Condenser | Minion Max Token | Minion Hopper | Minion Vacuum Hopper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This allows you to upgrade 1 level of a minion for free, when you upgrade the minion and you have this item in your inventory. | This automatically compacts all of the items types in a players inventory to its condensed form when they have enough of them. For this item to work you simply need to have it inside your inventory. | This allows you to upgrade 1 minion to the maximum level, when you upgrade the minion and you have this item in your inventory. | This collects all drops from a minion in 1 spot and can store up to 1.000.000 items. It does this after all other upgrades and items are applied. When you right-click on the minion hopper it opens a GUI where you can see all the stored item. | This works the same as the minion hopper, the big difference is that instead of being able to sell the items, the vacuum minion hopper automatically send the items to your island crystal. |
Minion ArtifactsThese Minion Artifacts are items that you need to add to your minion in order to unlock them.
Compactor | Key Finder |
|---|---|
| The compactor is an item that can be added to the minion, the minion will then automatically condense the items to the condensed version of it. A compacted item only takes up 50 of the storage space. | Has a chance to drop keys inside your minion. |
Island Boosters ArtifactsThese Minion Artifacts are items that you need to add to your minion in order to unlock them.
Super Condenser | Crystal Booster | Minion Booster |
|---|---|---|
| This makes it so all minions on the island output only the condensed version of their item for a select number of minutes. | This turns all minions on the island into crystal minions and they output an enchanted crystal every 30 seconds for select number of minutes. | Increases the speed and/or production for all of your minions. |
New! Mining OutpostMeet the Mining Outpost, a special place you can take over only once every 12 hours.
Timing is everything.The outpost is up for grabs twice a day because it has a 12-hour cooldown.
You'll need to be ready with your Island to claim it when it's time.
Get a massive mining boost.Capturing this outpost gives you an island booster for 1 hour, tripling the ores you mine in the boss world. If you time it right, you could get a lot of resources, making your time spent mining in the boss world really pay off.
New! Super Fishing RodIntroducing the Super Fishing Rod, imbued with magical powers.
Within the realms world, every fish you catch grants you essence.
This essence can be used to empower your fishing rod further.
Invest in upgrades to elevate your fishing journey.
The Super Fishing Rod ensures that fishing in the Realms World is not only enjoyable but also highly fruitful.
Here are the three upgrades available for the Super Fishing Rod, each capable of being enhanced further:
 Fish Booster |  Fish Pull Booster |  Essence Collector |
|---|---|---|
| Multiply the fish you earn for pulling them in per level. | Decrease the pull needed to reel in a fish by 25% per level. | Earn 50% more essence for reeling in fish per level. |
Updated! KOTHWe've added a new KOTH game for your island to take on, making the battles more exciting and rewarding.
This KoTH happens every day at 06:00 and 14:00 server time.
It's a great way to show how strong and smart your island is by fighting in big battles to be the best.
