What is ModernJobs?

ModernJobs is a feature-rich jobs plugin for Minecraft servers. Players choose one or more jobs (like Miner, Farmer, Hunter…). Each job earns XP and money for doing certain in-game actions — breaking blocks, killing mobs, fishing, crafting, etc.

As players level up in a job they unlock:

Level Rewards — money, items, commands and permissions granted at specific levels
Perks — powerful gameplay bonuses (auto-smelt, vein mining, permanent night vision…)
Prestige — after hitting max level, reset to level 1 with an XP bonus multiplier

Everything is fully configurable through YAML files. No coding required.

🗄

4 Storage Backends

YAML, SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB — switch without losing data

Installation

Drop the jar

Copy ModernJobs.jar into your server's plugins/ folder.

Install Vault (optional but recommended)

ModernJobs gives players money when they earn XP. Without Vault, the money part is silently skipped. Download Vault and an economy plugin (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.).

Start the server

The plugin will generate all config files inside plugins/ModernJobs/.

Configure

Edit config.yml, storage.yml, gui.yml and any job files in jobs/.

Reload

Run /jobs reload to apply changes without restarting the server.

⚠ Java 17+ is required. The plugin targets Minecraft 1.21+.
