Minecraft plugin Jobs

🔌 About Jobs

Jobs — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that lets players earn money, job points and job experience by performing in‑game tasks. Jobs helps server owners add class‑style professions (miner, farmer, builder, fisher, etc.), configurable rewards, and levelling to increase player engagement on Spigot and Paper servers.

🎯 Purpose

Jobs solves the common need to reward regular gameplay with configurable economic and progression mechanics. On a Minecraft server, Jobs provides:

• a way for players to pick one or more jobs and be paid for actions (breaking/placing blocks, killing mobs, crafting, fishing, etc.)
• job levels and XP that increase rewards
• quests and daily tasks for recurring engagement

⚙ Main features

• Class‑based jobs (miner, farmer, builder, fisher, hunter, enchanter, etc.).
• Configurable pay for actions (money, points, XP).
• Levelling system where higher levels give better income.
• GUI and chat/browse commands for job info and joining.
• Signs support and top lists (global/top scoreboard).
• Daily/weekly quests and quest reset features.
• API for other plugins and several events (join/leave/level up/payment/exp gain).
• MySQL and SQLite storage supported.
• Integration support (CMILib required; optional integrations with Vault, PlaceholderAPI, MythicMobs, McMMO, WorldGuard, MyPet, EcoEnchants noted by the developer).

🧩 Who is this for

Jobs is suitable for server owners and admins running:

• Survival and economy servers that want player job progression
• RPG and roleplay servers seeking class/profession systems
• Networks using Spigot or Paper (officially supported)

🏗 Usage examples
