What is the point of a Mini Me?

I've discovered the Golden Egg block from OpenBlocks and so I placed it as decoration not knowing it would shortly blow up afterwards. So when I heard the explosion I obviously went to go check out what happened and then was picked up one of my many clones, I then thought it was going to kill me but not long after I realised it was peaceful. It has now been 6 hours and it has not yet grown up and all it is doing is chasing me and picking me up. So what is the point of them?

 

Redirecting your question to...
What is the point of fun?
That's your answer.

 

I found out about it and had it on top of my beacon-capped gold pyramid on top of my big reactor turbine and when it started glowing I got really excited... Then it blew up and the poor guy died a frozen death by cryotheum.

 

Mini Me's are basically just a trolly mob that looks like your skin. You can change their skin via nametag.
Basically they walk around, breaking seeds, flowers, and rearraging the items in your chests. They can also pick you up.
They're basically useless.

Unless you hate onions.

 

... you're telling me I wasted gold on "fun"?
I've stuck mine in a safari net for the time being. Can't decide whether or not to trashcan 'im...

 

As my old baseball coach used to say, "your asshole's *this* tight, goldfish. Have done fun" Yes, my nickname was goldfish because... Well that's a story for another day.

 

LOL!! But yeah it's about the same as the walrus from extra cells. Just another thing to screw around with

 

That walrus is badass.

 

So nobody understood the onion reference? I is dissapoint.

 

would be interesting if mini-me's could be used to buff yourself.
for example make a mini-me with your name, leave it at a beacon, and you'll get buffed by the beacon even when you're not close to it

 

And when it gets hurt, you do too. You die, its dies. It wears armour, you wear armour. You get potion effects, it does too. (Vice versa to all that)

 

interesting, I like that...

 

Hey if I were to sacrifice one on my blood altar, would it atone for the sins of the world?

 

no, but it's a start

 

I think the effect would be closer to the exact opposite. Maybe it'll summon a couple demons, some devils... give or take one or two satans.

Okay, because nobody understood the onion thing, Pakratt managed to create a Flower Farm in his bee room on the AS Let's Play.

 

Who? What?
Where when how and why?

 

Sounds amazingly close to a familiar... oh, Emoniph, lemme ask you something...

 

Mini me is basically a mob that you could use to show who's how's is who's or if you're doing a roleplay you could use it for that. Or you could name tag it your favorite YouTubers if you have multiple and trap them as your own. Or you could golden lasso or safari net them and trade them for something you want. So they're basically a mob made for fun.
