Guide · Money & jobs
How money actually works here
Where it comes from, where it goes, and how to never be broke.
The flow, in one breath
Earning
You start with $500. After that: work a job (paid automatically as you play), sell rare fish, or trade with other players.
Spending
Town upkeep ($10 per chunk per day from the town bank), whatever taxes your mayor sets, buying from player shops, and paying people directly.
Moving it
/balance — what you have · /pay Name 50 — send it · /baltop — who's rich · /t deposit — feed your town.
Jobs — get paid to play
Pick up to 3 jobs. Once you're in one, the things you were already doing pay out automatically — no clocking in, no quotas.
Joining and leaving
/jobs browse opens the menu — click a job to see exactly what it pays for, then join from there (or /jobs join miner). Leave anytime with /jobs leave miner. /jobs stats shows your job levels — jobs level up like skills, and higher levels pay better.
The 13 jobs
Miner — ores and stone pay your wage. Pairs stupidly well with the Mining skill.
Woodcutter — trees are money (and they replant themselves here).
Farmer — harvesting crops, breeding animals.
Hunter — mob kills. Dangerous, pays accordingly.
Fisherman — every catch pays, and rare fish sell on top of it.
Builder — get paid for placing blocks. Yes, really. Build your town, earn your rent.
Digger — dirt, sand, gravel. Honest work.
Crafter · Weaponsmith · Enchanter · Brewer — production work: crafting, forging, enchanting, brewing all pay.
Explorer — discovering new chunks pays. Wander for a living.
Picking a combo
Match jobs to how you already play. Underground type: Miner + Digger + Explorer. Town founder: Builder + Woodcutter + Farmer. Tavern owner: Brewer + Farmer + Fisherman. You can respec anytime — leaving a job just pauses its level.
