Jobs Reborn Plugin Setup Guide for Minecraft Servers

Jobs Reborn Overview

A healthy Minecraft economy gives players a reason to trade, gather, build, and keep coming back. Shops help, but selling the same blocks over and over can turn into a very square-shaped chore. Jobs Reborn solves this by paying players for normal gameplay tasks such as mining, farming, building, fishing, exploring, and fighting mobs.

The plugin works well for survival, towny, and economy-focused servers because players can earn currency without needing a separate minigame or complicated marketplace. If the default jobs do not fit your server, you can adjust payouts, edit existing jobs, or create custom ones.

What Jobs Reborn Adds

Jobs Reborn is a Spigot plugin by Zrips with support across many Minecraft versions, including older releases and modern server builds. It is widely used for server economies because it connects everyday player activity with in-game money.

With Jobs Reborn, players can join jobs, earn currency for specific actions, level up their work, and check progress through commands or menus. Server owners can tune payment rates, permissions, job limits, messages, and job behavior through configuration files.

Downloading the Plugin

1. Open the Jobs Reborn Spigot page.
2. Click the blue Download Now button near the top-right of the page.

1. Save the `.jar` file somewhere easy to find.
2. Download the required dependencies, including CMILib and Vault.

Vault is especially important if your server uses an economy plugin. Without the right dependencies, Jobs Reborn may load incorrectly, which is rude but at least predictable.

Installing Jobs Reborn on the Server

1. Open your server panel and stop the server.
2. Find the version selector or server type section in your panel.

1. Confirm the server is running a plugin-compatible platform, such as Paper, Spigot, or another Bukkit-based fork.
2. Open the FTP or your preferred file manager.
3. Go to the `plugins` folder. If it does not exist, create it.

1. Upload the Jobs Reborn `.jar` file, CMILib, and Vault into the `plugins` folder.

1. Restart the server so the plugin can load and generate its files.

After the restart, use `/plugins` in-game or from the console to confirm Jobs Reborn appears in the plugin list.

Using Jobs In-Game

At first, the server may look the same. The main difference is that players can now use `/jobs` commands. Jobs Reborn is usable with its default setup, so players can begin earning money once they join a job.

The most important command is `/jobs browse`. This opens a menu where players can view available jobs and join them.

Default jobs commonly include:

• Brewer: Earn by brewing potions.
• Builder: Earn by placing and building with blocks.
• Crafter: Earn by crafting items.
• Digger: Earn by digging and terraforming.
• Enchanter: Earn by enchanting gear.
• Explorer: Earn by traveling through the world.
• Farmer: Earn by farming crops.
• Fisherman: Earn by fishing.
• Hunter: Earn by killing mobs.
• Miner: Earn by mining ores and minerals.
• Weaponsmith: Earn by crafting or repairing weapons.
• Woodcutter: Earn by cutting and planting trees.

Once a player joins a job, matching actions begin paying currency based on the plugin configuration.

Creating Jobs Reborn Signs

Jobs Reborn can also use signs for quick access to commands.

To create one, place `[jobs]` on the first line, then add the command on the next line or lines. These signs can let players browse jobs, join a specific job, leave a job, check stats, and more.

For example, a sign for joining the Crafter job can use `[jobs]` on the first line and `join crafter` on the second line.

A leave sign can use `[jobs]` on the first line and `leave crafter` on the second line.

These are useful near spawn, job halls, tutorial areas, or economy hubs where players need quick access.

Editing Jobs Reborn Configuration

Jobs Reborn works out of the box, but most servers will eventually want to adjust payouts or job behavior.

1. Stop the server from your panel.
2. Open the FTP or the file manager.
3. Go to `plugins`, then open the `Jobs` folder.
4. Edit the relevant configuration files.
5. Save your changes and restart the server.

The Jobs folder contains files for general settings, job definitions, messages, and other plugin behavior. Use the existing formatting as your guide when editing. YAML is strict, so one missing space can cause more drama than the change was worth.

Useful Commands

Jobs Reborn includes many commands, but these are the ones most players and admins use first:

• `/jobs` opens the main command menu or help output.
• `/jobs browse` shows available jobs.
• `/jobs join <job>` joins a job.
• `/jobs leave <job>` leaves a job.
• `/jobs stats` shows job progress.
• `/jobs info <job>` shows details about a job.
• `/jobs top` shows job leaderboards.
• `/jobs reload` reloads the plugin after configuration changes.

For a full command and permission list, use the official Jobs Reborn wiki or the plugin documentation page.

Common Problems

Jobs commands do not work

Run `/plugins` and check whether Jobs Reborn is listed. If it is missing, confirm the `.jar` file was uploaded into the `plugins` folder and that the server is using Paper, Spigot, or another compatible platform. If the plugin name appears in red, update Jobs Reborn and its dependencies, then restart the server.

Errors appear after editing a config file

A formatting mistake is the most likely cause. Reopen the file and compare the edited section with nearby working lines. Check spacing, colons, quotation marks, and list formatting. If the file is too broken to repair, delete that specific config file and restart the server so Jobs Reborn can regenerate a fresh copy.
