Jobs
Jobs turn Minecraft actions (mining, killing, fishing, crafting, brewing, enchanting, breeding ...) into income: money, job XP and a dedicated points currency. Players level up, unlock titles, rewards, daily quests and a job shop. All progress persists across restarts.
Files: modules/jobs. (main config) and modules/jobs/<jobId>. (one file per job). The 10 default jobs are only created when modules/jobs/ is empty; your changes are never overwritten by updates. Deleted files and removed actions, titles or level rewards do not come back. To have bundled additions merged automatically, set jobs. (rewrites the files without comments).
Commands #
All /jobs subcommands need jobs. (default true) plus the listed permission (all default true).
| Command | Syntax | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Menu | /jobs or /jobs menu | jobs. | Hub GUI: my jobs, browse, quests, shop |
| Browse | /jobs browse | jobs. | Paginated job list with progress, click = join |
| Info | /jobs info <job> | jobs. | All actions, targets, rewards, titles of a job |
| Join | /jobs join <job> | jobs. + jobs. | Checks max-jobs limit and cooldown |
| Leave | /jobs leave <job> / leaveall | jobs. | With XP loss, if enabled; level, title and stats are kept |
| Stats | /jobs stats | jobs. | Level/XP/earnings per job |
| Top lists | /jobs top <job> / gtop | jobs. | Top 10 per job or globally |
| Limit | /jobs limit | jobs. | Remaining period quota |
| Points | /jobs points | jobs. | Job points balance |
| Quests | /jobs quests | jobs. | Daily quest GUI with progress bars |
| Display | /jobs toggle [actionbar| | jobs. | Income display mode |
| Boosts | /jobs boosts | jobs. | Active boosts and total multiplier |
| Shop | /jobs shop | jobs. | Job shop (pays with points; if the delivery does not fit completely into the inventory, nothing is charged) |
Tip: jobs. is registered automatically per job with default true. Block individual jobs via LuckPerms with jobs.; the browse menu checks the same permission.
Leaving a job: leaving costs the configured share of your current job XP (xp-loss., default 30 %). Level, title and lifetime stats are kept and restored when you rejoin. Joining and leaving through the GUI use the same cooldown (command-cooldowns, default 3 s) and permissions as /jobs join and /jobs leave.

Action types #
| Action | Trigger | Target | Protection/special |
|---|---|---|---|
BREAK | Break a block | Material | Placed-block check, crop age, AFK detection |
KILL | Kill a creature | Creature | Spam-kill protection, spawner reduction, no suicide |
FISH | Fishing | Caught material | Also pays for treasure |
CRAFT | Crafting | Result material | Shift-click counts the real amount |
SMELT | Take from furnace | Material | Counts the taken amount |
BREW | Brew a potion | Potion material | Last brewing stand user = brewer; the result of the brew step is paid |
ENCHANT | Enchanting | Material | - |
REPAIR | Anvil repair | Material | Both slots must be filled |
BREED / SHEAR / TAME | Breed/shear/tame | Creature | - |
MILK | Milking | Creature | Cooldown per animal |
EXPLORE | Walking | ALL | Pays every explore-distance blocks, teleports do not count |
STRIP_LOG | Strip wood | Original material | - |
ALL is allowed everywhere as a wildcard. Nexo/Carpentary targets (nexo:<id>) take priority over vanilla materials.
Leveling and scaling #
xpRequired(level) = base * level + multiplier * level^exponent
effectiveIncome = baseMoney * (1 + (level - 1) * level-multiplier)
effectiveXp = baseXp * (1 + (level - 1) * level-multiplier * 0.5)XP scaling deliberately runs at half rate so high levels do not accelerate their own leveling exponentially. Surplus XP is never lost on level-ups (multi-level-ups possible); at max level no more XP is credited.
Overridable per job: each job file may have its own leveling section; missing values (or -1) use the global formula. GUI, /jobs stats and the web interface automatically use the formula of the respective job.
# in modules/jobs/woodcutter.yml: this job levels slower, earns more
leveling:
xp-formula:
base: 15.0
multiplier: 6.0
exponent: 2.2
income-formula:
level-multiplier: 0.05
xp-level-multiplier: 0.02Max level order: job's own max-level (0 = global) → global-max-level → permission jobs. (only when higher).
Payout #
Every action is settled for EVERY active job that pays for it (stacking intended): level scaling and boosts apply to money and XP, then active period limits cap them. Points are always raw: no level scaling, no boosts, no dynamic pay, no limits. The display is batched (batch-interval) as action bar or boss bar. Crafting and anvil repairs are paid only once the craft or take really happened (nothing on a full inventory or a denied take). Brewing pays for the result of the brew step (e.g. splash potion), not the input potion.
Quests: per job and day, quests-per-job quests are generated from the job's real action/target pairs. Reward = base value × amount × reward-multiplier (without level scaling), paid out automatically on completion. Daily reset at the configured time. Quests belong to the day, not to the membership: leaving and rejoining a job brings back the same quests with the same progress until the daily reset.
Boosts: three sources (admin via /jobsa boost, scheduled by time/weekday, permission jobs. where the highest wins). stacking-mode: multiply multiplies all, add adds the bonus shares; capped at max-multiplier. Admin boosts survive reload and restart.
Exploit protection #
Self-placed blocks pay nothing (history check via CoreProtect), immature crops pay nothing, spam kills of the same mob stop paying, spawner mobs pay only the configured fraction (recognised from the stored spawn reason, also after chunk unloads and restarts), suicide does not count, shift-click crafting counts the real amount, milking has a per-animal cooldown and teleports give no EXPLORE distance. Paid block breaks are optionally logged as #jobs-<player> in CoreProtect. Creative and spectator mode earn no job money, XP, points or quest progress (admin switch exploit-protection.).
crop-age-check only applies to real crops (wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart, cocoa, sweet berries, pitcher and torchflower crops, stems). Sugar cane, cactus, kelp, bamboo and chorus flowers pay regardless of age.
Warning: Without CoreProtect the jobs module disables itself by default (require-history-provider: true), visible only as a log warning. To play without a history source, deliberately set the switch to false; then placed-block-failure decides (deny = safe, allow = pays anyway). AFK detection only applies to BREAK.
