Borin works as a walking loot bag. He picks up drops and carries valuables, so you spend less time running back and forth.
How Borin Gathers Loot
- Automatic pickup: Borin collects ground drops near him. Ores he mines, items from mobs he fights and drops you leave behind can all end up with him.
- Built-in storage: He keeps valuable items such as diamonds, emeralds and ores in his own inventory.
- Handing items over: When you stand close to Borin, he tosses items to you.
Getting the Most Out of It
1. Before a long dig, empty your own inventory of junk. You need room for the items Borin throws your way.
2. Keep him in follow mode while mining. He stays near the dig and scoops up scattered drops automatically.
3. Stand next to him regularly so he passes his collected items to you.
4. If your inventory is full, move a step away until you have made space. Otherwise his tossed items land on the floor.
5. Before heading home, stand beside Borin once more so you leave with everything he picked up.
Protect Your Haul
Borin carries your valuables, so keep him alive. Collect his items before taking him anywhere risky, like near lava or a large mob group.
