How create “swarm intelligence” ?

Hello! Is it possible to create a conditional “swarm intelligence” that will calculate a group of entities together and not each one separately. The idea is to make minions from the cartoon “Ugly I” in Minecraft. Conditionally that I through the GUI or something like that would give one minion an order, and all the rest of them carried it out automatically distributing tasks among themselves. Please tell me how it can be implemented and whether it is possible in principle?
