Whirligig Hunting Calculator – Hypixel Skyblock Powder Profit Tool

About Whirligig Hunting

Whirligigs are unique mobs found in Hypixel Skyblock's Crystal Hollows that drop valuable powder used for upgrading your Heart of the Mountain. These spinning creatures are an excellent source of both Mithril and Gemstone powder, making them a prime target for miners looking to progress their mining abilities.

The Crystal Hollows is a randomly generated mining area that serves as the primary source of gemstones and powder. Whirligigs spawn in various locations throughout the hollows and can be hunted efficiently with the right strategy and equipment.
