Skyblock-style placeable minions that automatically gather resources for you. Inspired by classic minion mechanics. Give yourself a minion item, right-click a block to place it, and the minion sits there producing its resource into its own storage on a timer - faster and with more capacity as you upgrade it.
Iron Minion V.By default minions do not dig or place real blocks. They produce the output item straight into storage (place-blocks: false). This is a deliberate simplification of the original idea so the plugin stays TPS-friendly and never touches the world, your protections, or your terrain.

| Module slots x2 | Install Auto-Smelt (smelts ore/raw output) or Compactor (packs output into blocks). |
| Upgrade (anvil) | Pay the listed cost to raise the tier (faster + more storage). |
| Info (paper) | Shows type, tier, slots, interval, fuel state, owner. |

Tiers I through XI. Higher tiers act faster (lower interval) and hold more. Each tier has an upgrade cost; XI is the cap. All configurable in config.yml.
Everything is tunable in config.yml: production interval and storage per tier, upgrade costs, fuel (item, speed boost, run-time per unit), the Auto-Smelt and Compactor module maps, per-chunk and per-player caps, owner-only, particles, and the full list of minion types. Invalid entries are logged and skipped rather than aborting the load.
place-blocks is a stub. Terrain editing is intentionally not implemented; minions produce into storage (server-safe, never touches your world or protections).Paper / Spigot / Bukkit / Purpur, Minecraft 1.21.1-1.21.11.
