Have you ever seen the Clay Soldiers mod? It's a wonderful mod in which little clay people run around and beat the tar out of each other. This idea was inspired by this mod, so kudos to the creator. A shabti is a little statue used by ancient Egyptian wizards to do stuff. There were different kinds of shabti, as illustrated in this idea. Here are the following types of shabti and how to make them:
Basic Shabti--
:GP:=clay lump. This Shabti can do a bit of everything: mine 5 stones, collect 5 logs, 1 reed clump, or 3 seeds. You have to make this Shabti in order to craft any other kind of Shabti.
Miner Shabti-- is basic Shabti is a pickaxe. This Shabti can ONLY mine--he'll collect one iron ore, 5 chunks of coal, or 10 cobblestones by mining blocks that are exposed to the air. He WILL NOT go mining down 40 blocks to get stuff.
Farmer Shabti-- is a hoe. This Shabti will collect any sort of flora: 1 pumpkin, 3 of any sort of flower, 5 reeds, or 10 seeds.
Soldier Shabti-- is a sword. This Shabti will fight until it dies, simple as that. You can order him to attack a mob by holding it in your hand and right clicking to release the Shabti.
Depending on the quality of tool you gave your Shabti, it will last longer. When the tool depletes, the Shabti will bring back any goods it has and self-destruct--but that won't hurt you, it's just so you know that it's gone.

This is neat, I would love to see this as a mod but not as an actual thing in minecraft. It wouldn't fit in. You aren't supposed to have little minions that do everything for you. This is an adventure game, Your supposed to get off your ass and do things.

Same here. Besides, it seems like an awful waste of clay and tools to get such less materials then you would if you did it yourself.

Maybe the Shabti simply says "I ran out of tools, gimme more" so you can use it. The clay is so you don't make 5,000 and never lift a finger. They can't get anything beyond coal, so I don't see why you think it would be so bad.

I guess its something you would do if you were bored and lazy (hence mod maybe?)
Indeed. To me, getting 10 seeds is not something I would waste 5 clay and a hoe on, even a wooden one. Plus the big thing is if they don't have very fine tuned AI your world will get very messy, very fast.

That's a very strong argument right there, So basically they would mine everything but coal and above.. but then if you went to where they were mining, Would all you see is the stuff they haven't mined? that's a bit overpowered. You could be doing something else while they do this, making it way too easy to get resources from mining. That's why this would be better as a mod.
