Overview

ProsperitySMP has two connected progression systems: Jobs and Skill Trees.

• Jobs earn wages, have levels (1–50), and grant titles as you level up. Join via /jobs join.
• Skill Trees are a live perk system tied to your job level. Open the GUI with /skills to see and unlock nodes. Every job has 10 nodes; there are also 10 Global nodes available to anyone.

You do not need to buy anything to unlock skill nodes — they cost skill points earned by leveling your job.

Job Slots

Slot	Cost
Slots 1–3	Free
Slot 4	$10,000 career expansion permit
Slot 5	Prestige / late-season unlock

Specialization vs Diversification

Both paths are valid — the system is designed so neither feels wrong.

Path	What You Get
Specialize (go deep in one job)	Stronger wage scaling, better titles, better contracts, stronger skill perks
Diversify (level multiple jobs)	More business models, more income sources, more flexibility

A level 50 Miner is the best miner on the server. A player with Miner + Builder + Woodcutter has more options. Pick based on how you want to play.

Global Skills

Global skills are available to all players regardless of job. They unlock based on your highest job level.

20	Sure Footing	-10% fall damage. Stacks with Steady Hand (Builder).

The 6 Jobs

Each job has 50 levels, takes ~50 hours to max, and grants a +1% income bonus per level (max +50% at level 50, applied to job wage). Every 10 levels unlocks a new chat title.

Builder

Focus: Construction, public works, architectural projects — and the highest-paying contracts on the server for players with real building skill.

If you love building in Minecraft, this is your job. The economy is structured so that skilled builders are paid like specialists, not laborers. Routine block-placement wages are modest by design — the real income comes from contracts.

Level	Title
1–9	Novice Builder
10–19	Apprentice Builder
20–29	Elite Builder
30–39	Master Builder
40–49	Grand Master Builder
50	Legendary Builder

Skill Nodes

Level	Skill	Effect
5	Steady Hand	-15% fall damage. Stacks with Sure Footing.
10	Block Recovery	20% chance for fragile blocks (glass, sea lanterns, flower pots) to drop themselves instead of breaking
20	Restoration Expert	Upgrades Block Recovery to 30% chance
30	Builder Cane	Equip a named end rod in your offhand to gain +2 block interaction reach. Admin gives via /buildercane.

Why Builder Pays Off

Builder isn’t a grind-to-50 job. It’s an audition. As you level up and your work gets visible around the city, you get invited to bigger commissions:

Tier	Commission	Pay Range
Small builds	Path paving, fencing, signage	$50–$200 each
District commissions	Build out a city block, market stalls, residential complexes	$600–$1,500
Large infrastructure	Civic landmarks, multi-session projects	$1,500–$5,000 + title naming rights
Government commissions (handpicked by the owner)	Major builds the city actually needs — dungeon zones in the mountains, monuments, major districts	Negotiated. Could be $10,000+ for the right builder.

Private Work — Building For Other Players

City contracts are only one source of income. Plenty of builders make a living taking private commissions from other players: house builds on their plots, custom decorative work, shop fronts, statues. The city is not involved in these jobs:

• Materials: Whatever you and the client agree to. Most common arrangements: client supplies all materials, you supply your own and charge a markup, or split costs.
• Price: Set by you and the client directly. The player market sets the rate.
• Advertising: Open a shop sign offering your services, post in chat, or build a portfolio plot people can tour. Word of mouth matters here.

A skilled builder who can deliver consistent quality usually ends up with both city contracts and a private client list — that’s where the real money is.

Practical tip: Builder pairs well as a second or third job. The block-placement wage is modest, so most successful builders carry it alongside Miner (for cheap material supply on private jobs) or Woodcutter (for cheap lumber). Run /jobs join builder even if your main job is something else — you’ll be ready when the commission boards open.

Prestige

When you reach level 50 in a job, you can Prestige — your level resets to 0 in exchange for permanent passive bonuses and a unique Master Item for that career.

Prestige is the largest single money sink in the game. Each tier costs significantly more than the last, and you can prestige independently in every job.

Prestige Costs

Tier	Cost (per tier, per job)	Reward
P1	$25,000 + 10 diamond blocks + 64 emeralds	+5% income, +10% XP, Master Item I
P2	$75,000 + 30 diamond blocks + 1 netherite block	+10% income (cumulative), +20% XP, Master Item II
P3	$200,000 + 80 diamond blocks + 3 netherite blocks	+15% income, +30% XP, Master Item III
P4	$500,000 + 200 diamond blocks + 8 netherite blocks	+20% income, +40% XP, Master Item IV
P5	$1,000,000 + 500 diamond blocks + 20 netherite blocks + 1 dragon egg	+25% income, +50% XP, Master Item V

Cumulative Bonuses

Prestige Level	Total Income Bonus	Total XP Rate
Just L50 (P0)	+50%	+0%
P1	+55%	+10%
P2	+60%	+20%
P3	+65%	+30%
P4	+70%	+40%
P5	+75%	+50%

A P5 maxed Miner has +75% income on every block they break, on top of all their tool effects.

Master Items

Each prestige tier grants a unique Master Item specific to that job — a permanent, Soulbound, named tool with the original owner’s name engraved forever.

Job	P1 Item	What It Does (P1 baseline)
Miner	Master Drill	Netherite pickaxe, Eff V, Fortune III, Telekinesis, Unbreaking V, 3x3 AOE
Farmer	Master Harvester	Netherite hoe, Eff V, Replenish, Telekinesis, 5x5 harvest
Builder	Master Trowel	Place pattern in one shift-click; saved templates
Woodcutter	Master Lumberjack	Chop whole tree + auto-replant in one swing
Hunter	Master Bow	Homing arrow at low-tier; multi-shot at higher tiers
Fisher	Master Rod	Auto-recast + treasure boost

Higher tiers (P2-P5) add more abilities to the Master Item — autosmelt, larger AOE, vein detection, auto-deposit to a linked chest, etc.

Master Items are Soulbound but tradeable. You won’t drop them on death. You can sell or gift them to other players, but the original owner’s name stays engraved as provenance. Expect Master Items to sell for $100,000+ on the player market once Prestige players exist.

Why Prestige Matters

• Long-term progression — even after you max a job, there’s a next mountain to climb
• Biggest sink in the economy — total cost of P5 in one job is ~$1.8M plus massive material requirements
• Prestige is forever — Master Items persist across the season, and any cumulative bonuses earned are kept indefinitely
• Each job is independent — you can be P3 Miner with no prestige in other jobs, or P1 in five jobs at once
