Features

  • 12 included jobs: Miner, Farmer, Fisherman, Hunter, Lumberjack, Blacksmith, Builder, Digger, Cook, Rancher, Explorer, Enchanter
  • Create your own jobs: each job is one file in the jobs/ folder — copy, rename, edit
  • Flexible level system: formula or explicit XP table; levels unlock better rewards and can require items, money, other jobs, or custom conditions
  • Rich rewards: money (Vault), items, experience, sounds, particles, titles, messages, commands, potion effects, teleports, and more
  • Job events: job-join, job-leave, job-level-up for welcome messages, leave penalties, level prizes
  • Multiple menus: chest menu, dialog, browse dialog, info menu, levels menu
  • PlaceholderAPI support for job values anywhere

Requirements

  • Minecraft > 26.2
  • MetaCore (included as a dependency)
  • Vault — required for money rewards (optional)
  • PlaceholderAPI — for extra placeholders (optional)

Installation

  1. Download MetaCore.jar from here and MetaJobs.jar from the releases page
  2. Place both jars in your server's plugins/ folder
  3. Start the server — default configs and the 12 example jobs generate in plugins/MetaJobs/jobs/
  4. (Optional) Install Vault and an economy plugin if you want money rewards
  5. Edit any job or config, then run /jobs reload

Quick Start

  • /jobs — open the dialog to pick a job
  • /jobs list — see available jobs with descriptions
  • /jobs join miner — start working as a Miner
  • /jobs stats — view your jobs, levels, and progress
  • /jobs levels miner — open the level/requirements menu for Miner
  • /jobs reload — reload jobs, menus, and messages without restarting

Configuration

Main settings in config.yml:

  • max-jobs — how many jobs a player can hold (0 = unlimited)
  • main-menu — dialog (default) or chest for /jobs without arguments
  • auto-level-up — true = instant level-up when XP reached; false = manual via /jobs levelup
  • autosave-seconds — save interval for player data (minimum 30)

Each job is a file in jobs/.yml. Key sections:

  • name, display, description, max-level, experience (formula or table), permission, display-item, display-dialog, info, order
  • level-up — requirements per level (money, items, other jobs, conditions)
  • placeholders — custom values remembered per player, used in rewards and menus
  • triggers — the heart of a job: on (event), if (conditions), do (actions)

Full reference: job creation, triggers, levels, menus, messages, and examples in the wiki: MetaJobs Wiki
