Miner is a kit added in the February 25, 2022 update. Previously, it could've be unlocked by purchasing the Miner Bundle or the Holiday bundle 2022 but was made available for individual purchase on March 11, 2022. He can petrify enemies in order to mine valuable resources out of them.
Abilities[]
Petrification[]
- Main article: Petrified Player
Killing an enemy will petrify them into stone, allowing players to mine their statues and gather resources by holding F or holding the “mine player” button when near one. The quality and amount of resources mined scales with the quality of armor and sword the enemy has (killing an enemy using a Diamond Sword while wearing Diamond Armor and mining them will mostly reward Emeralds, Diamonds
, and/or Iron
wheres killing an enemy using a Stone Sword while wearing Leather Armor would usually just give Iron
), though diamonds and emeralds can still be obtained from weaker enemies, albeit at a lower chance. The resources given are rather inconsistent in some cases and may not drop emeralds and/or diamonds from mining powerful enemies.
It takes 3 seconds to mine a statue and they never despawn. Enemies that have been petrified recently won't be petrified again for 10 seconds.
Drawback[]
Because the Miner specializes in mining with a pickaxe, he cannot utilize axes.
Strategy[]
Miner is one of the most powerful economy kits in BedWars, by killing a single player you can mine extra resources on top of their loot, and there is no limit. Players killed that have more gear will reward you even more loot when mined, going all the way up to 40+ emeralds and diamonds, which can immediately bring reach to emerald armor or sword. The only major drawback is that beds are slightly harder to break late game, due to Miner forbidden from purchasing axes, but who needs beds when you can spawn kill for loot? (the smart way) Early game, iron armor can immediately award you a handful of iron and diamonds, possibly emeralds! It's overpowered, but this kit has existed for multiple seasons, so at this point players have found counters.
If you have a teammate, get them to follow you and assist in any kills. This can be a powerful strategy, as having a partner can help you tackle enemies that may outgear you. When you go in as a duo, you are more likely to be able to successfully eliminate the enemy, even if they have much better gear than you. By taking down these better-equipped opponents, you can collect a significant amount of additional resources, which you can then use to upgrade your own gear. This will make you more overpowered. However, it's crucial that you don't let your teammate bag the kill, as this will prevent the enemy player from becoming petrified. If the player is not petrified, you will be unable to receive any of the valuable loot they drop.
It's important to note that you can only mine players by securing kills on the ground, such as through melee attacks. You need to be very careful to ensure the player doesn't fall into the void, as this will cause all of the loot and statues to be lost. Generally, it's a good idea to try to steer the enemy away from cliffs or other areas where they could potentially fall to their death. This will help ensure that you can successfully mine their loot and resources. Additionally, it's often better to avoid killing enemies at their team's base, unless you confident in your abilities and don't mind the challenge of spawn killing. Killing players at their home base can make it much more difficult to successfully mine their loot, as the player's teammates may be able to intervene and prevent you from doing so.
By following these strategies and being mindful of the potential pitfalls, you can eventually master the kit's capabilities.
