Spawning Minis on Demand with Command Blocks

Typing out /summon commands manually works fine for one or two minis, but if you are refilling an arena or letting non-operator friends spawn minis on a server, wiring up vanilla command blocks lets anyone summon a mini at the press of a button.

Setting Up the Spawner

1. With cheats enabled, open chat and run /give @s minecraft:command_block.

2. Switch to Creative mode if needed, as vanilla Minecraft requires Creative mode to place and configure command blocks.

3. Place the command block directly underneath the floor block where you want the mini to appear.

4. Right-click the command block to open its menu and leave the settings on Impulse, Unconditional, and Needs Redstone.

Entering the Mini Command

Type or paste the summon command into the Console Command box, adjusting the vertical coordinate so the mini spawns above the floor:

summon minis:mini ~ ~2 ~ {Owner:ChosenArchitect}

Using ~ ~2 ~ spawns the 10x-smaller player copy two blocks above the command block—right on top of the floor block covering it—rather than trapping it underground. Replace ChosenArchitect with the desired username and click Done. Place a stone button or pressure plate on the floor block above the command block; activating it will immediately spawn a wandering mini of that player.
