The Vault Economy

The SMC Minecraft server uses Vault for its economy API. Currently, the main way to earn money is by joining a job, which is powered by the Jobs Reborn plugin. You can trade items with other players using Trade signs, powered by the EssentialsX plugin.

You can view your current balance by using the command /balance

There are currently 12 jobs:

1. Digger
2. Fisherman
3. Farmer
4. Hunter
5. Woodcutter
6. Weaponsmith
7. Explorer
8. Brewer
9. Builder
10. Miner
11. Enchanter
12. Crafter

Each job will allow you to earn money by performing relevant actions. For example, those who join the “Builder” job will earn money by placing any of the common building blocks. Those who join the “Woodcutter” job will earn money when cutting down trees. Etc.

Use the command /jobs join <jobname> to join the specified job. You can leave the job by using /jobs leave <jobname> or /jobs leaveall

You can open the jobs selection GUI using the command /jobs browse. From here, you can get more info about the jobs or join/leave a job.

Currently, you can only have one job at a time. The longer you stay in a specific job, the higher level you will become in that job. The higher the level, the more money you earn by working that job.

You are free to leave/join any job as often as you like. However, leaving a job will costs you 30% of your current progress, so choose your job wisely.

A trade sign is used to set up a shop where players can freely trade items for money, or vice versa. For full documentation, click this link.

Creating a trade sign is as simple as placing a sign with the following three lines of text:

1. [Trade]
2. <amount> <item> or $<amount>
3. <amount> <item>:<total> or $<amount>:<total>

Line 1 is the literal text [Trade], including the square brackets.

Line 2 is what you want.

Line 3 is whatever you're offering.

• <amount> is the amount of the item you are buying/selling. <item> is the item you are buying selling. <total> is the total amount of the item or $$$ that you have to offer. When the sign is created, the items or $$$ specified in line 3 is automatically removed from your inventory/Vault balance.
• To retrieve the items or $$$ left by other players, you can right-click the Trade sign.
• Breaking a Trade sign will return any items or $$$ that were placed in the sign when it was created.
