I now have a great idea for jobs. Mining Obsidian.It will maybe be rewarded as .30 cents. Since mining this crap is slow boring and usually unrewarding i believe that my job idea is a great idea.
PLZ POST OTHER IDEAS IN THIS THREAD.
From, Craftthebest

Several issues:
1. Obsidian does not naturally replenish so it would be up to me refill the obsidian mining area.
2. Some have RM picks which means they can mine it very fast. I would have to price the job accordingly by making each block mined worth barely anything. This would make those without a RM pickaxe unwilling to use it.

how about tree farming? With the tree plugin we have, replanting shouldn't be an issue. However.... because there is a rubber market.... I really don't want to make the market price of rubber $0.
The server could either buy wood for pennies only, or.... someone could craft that coal in the tree farm. (Iron door with the lever on the inside so you can sit there without your coal being stolen). Go into a room, turn the wood into coal, and sell it for a bit more than the price of the wood itself. I don't mind the price of charcoal going down. No one is really selling it anyway.

We had one of those, mining lazer got rid of that. Someone could walk in and have the place harvested.

I guess my view on this is that now the manufacturing of lasers is very restricted and you need to be a baaron to even use them. At least that's how they are intended to operate. I also had a talk with brandon and explained that it's still fair. You can only farm the tree so often no matter how long it takes you to cut it down. Bone meal is the only hiccup to this job and even then, it's not game breaking now that I think of it.

maybe the farm was too big? I feel like for it's purposes, a 100 tree farm could serve it's purpose.

I'm willing to buy more stuff in my shop to provide "jobs". If I have time this weekend I'll setup more chests to buy things like wood and iron.

Ok I thought of another idea. It would HAVE to be built and designed by you, Gn3sda. Spawn in a zombie spawner so that members may park at the pit of this xp grinder to gain currency, and gain experience. Other servers extend this one further like... you earn money by enchanting items, but idk that this is a good fit for our server.

nope. Jobs can't have valuable side effects.
Example: I wouldn't pay you for finding diamond ores since you can just sell the diamonds after mining. I wouldn't pay you for using a mob grinder, since the enchanted items you would create later can be sold for a profit.

the idea is to earn income based on your XP gain while at the grinder.

Right, so the server is paying you and giving you XP. XP is its own reward for doing something.

2 modifications!
Make it so that you can have only X jobs at one time and when you don't have that job, you don't get the money.
First actual job idea.
Farmer
Earn $X for every fully grown crop you manually harvest.
Tier I
Earn money from Wheat
[gain Y experience]
Tier II (earn double money)
Earn money from Melons
[gain 2Y experience]
Tier III (earn tripple money)
Earn money from Pumpkins
