Jobs and earning money

Choose and join a job

Jobs pay money and job experience for specific activities. You must join the job before the work counts toward that job. Open /jobs browse, look at the available jobs, and choose one that fits what you are already doing.

A new player has one job slot. You can keep working normally in every other activity, but Jobs only pays for the jobs you have joined and the actions they support.

Choose from Miner, Woodcutter, Digger, Farmer, Hunter, and Builder. For fishing income, use the separate fishing shop and rewards described in the fishing guide.

Miner

Earn money from the listed stone, minerals, and ores you mine. The resource world is the right place for large gathering trips. Check whether a particular material is listed instead of assuming every block pays.

Woodcutter

Earn money from supported logs and tree materials. Replant where appropriate, respect other players’ trees and builds, and check the paid material list for the tree type you are harvesting.

Digger

Earn money while gathering materials such as dirt, sand, gravel, and clay. Use the resource world for large material collections and keep permanent terrain work considerate of nearby builds.

Farmer

Earn money from the listed crop and animal activities. The paid list includes more than just breaking crops. Check it for breeding, taming, shearing, and other supported tasks.

Hunter

Earn money from eligible animals and monsters. Do not kill owned animals or villagers. Spawner related payment restrictions mean a farm is not automatically an income source just because it produces mobs.

Builder

Earn money for placing the listed building materials during normal construction. Repeatedly placing and breaking blocks to farm payouts is covered by the exploit protections and rules.

Unlock more job slots

Roamer raises the limit to two jobs, Magnate raises it to three, and Paragon raises it to four. Those are total active slots. You keep the earlier rank benefits as you progress.

Choose jobs that fit your routine. Miner and Digger can suit a material gathering trip. Farmer and Builder can suit a player who spends most of their time around a growing base. You still need to do an eligible action for the corresponding job to pay.

Levels, payments, and mastery

Each job has its own level, up to a maximum of 200. Paid work earns job experience, and your base pay increases by 1% for each level after level 1. Use /jobs info <job> to see what each action pays.

Payments are batched, so your balance may not change after every individual block. Wait a moment and check your balance or job feedback before assuming the action failed.

Every job has its own title, which you unlock by reaching job level 200. Use /tags to choose a title you have earned.

Jobs experience, mcMMO skill experience, vanilla experience, and fishing experience are different. A high Mining skill does not automatically mean a high Miner job level.

Read this before leaving a job

Leaving a job removes 30% of that job’s levels. Check your free slots and next rank unlock before giving up progress to switch jobs.

To leave, use /jobs leave <job> and read the response. There is a cooldown before you can rejoin, so plan your switch before leaving.

Why an action may not pay

• You have not joined the job, or that exact material or action is not in its paid list.
• You are in spawn. Jobs work in the main, resource, Nether, and End worlds, while spawn is excluded from earning.
• Place and break protections can stop repeated payouts from the same blocks.
• Spawner related restrictions can stop combat payouts. Do not assume every farm kill pays.
• You are seeing delayed batched income. Give it a few seconds, then check the result.
• Jobs quests and the Jobs point shop are not available on Emberpine.
