If you're an avid Hypixel Skyblock player, then you've likely heard of the Snow Minion. This guide covers everything you need to know about this unique Minion and how to obtain it.

Snow Minions are specialized minions in Hypixel Skyblock that are designed to produce and collect Snow. Unlike Flower Minions, Snow Minions don't have a Collection, which means they can't be crafted. They can, however, be obtained as a reward from opening Gifts.


How to Obtain Snow Minions in Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft Server?

  1. The Jerry Event: One of the easiest ways to get a Snow Minion is during the Jerry Event, which occurs once every Skyblock year. Here, you can collect presents scattered around, with each offering a chance to drop a Snow Minion. If you find all 20, Jerry rewards you with a bonus green present.
  2. Jerry's Pond: Another option is to fish at Jerry's Pond during the event. It's a lucrative spot, offering players ample presents which could potentially contain a Snow Minion.
  3. The Bazaar: For those who have access to the Bazaar, head over to the 'Oddities' section. Purchase white gifts and distribute them among other players in the Skyblock Lobby. Not only do these gifts provide a chance to obtain a Snow Minion, but they also come with special coins and a range of potions.

Snow Minion Drops and Profits

The Snow Minion has several drop conditions:

  • Without any condition: Harvesting produces an average of 4 snowballs per item with a 100% chance of obtaining. Each snowball equates to +0.1 Stone Pickaxe XP.
  • Using a Compactor: 4 snowballs produce a Snow Block, yielding +0.4 Stone Pickaxe XP per item.
  • With a Super Compactor 3000: 640 snowballs result in an Enchanted Snow Block, offering +64 Stone Pickaxe XP per item.

In terms of profitability, the Snow Minion can generate significant returns, especially when combined with items like the Enchanted Lava Bucket and Diamond Spreading. For instance, a Tier 11 Snow Minion, when equipped with a Super Compactor 3000, Enchanted Lava Bucket, and Diamond Spreading, can produce around 60,000 coins per day.

Snow Minion Usage Tips and Tricks

  1. Mining XP Source: Snow Minions can be a great source of Mining XP, especially for players who aren't keen on manual mining.
  2. Storage Management: Snow Minions fill up faster than Clay Minions. Ensure you use medium or large minion storage. Those who don't check their minions frequently should contemplate using budget hoppers or enchanted hoppers for automated selling.
  3. Super Compactor vs. Compactor: While snow blocks tend to have a higher bazaar selling price compared to Enchanted Snow Blocks, using Super Compactors makes management easier due to slower fill rates.

A Brief History of the Snow Minion

Before the Bazaar Update, Snow Minions were a top choice for money-making as most players sold their products to NPCs. However, post-update, other minions, especially those producing high-demand items, have overtaken Snow Minions in profitability. Yet, Snow Minions remain a valuable asset, particularly for those keen on optimizing their Mining XP.

Conclusion

Snow Minions offer an exciting dynamic to the Hypixel Skyblock gameplay. Whether you're looking for profitability or seeking to enhance your Mining XP, understanding the nuances of Snow Minions can drastically improve your Skyblock experience. Remember, always be on the lookout during the Jerry event and be generous with your gifts in the Bazaar for the best chance to secure a Snow Minion.
