Database Config (jobs_config.json)

SQLite (Default) - Perfect for most servers

{
  "database": {
    "type": "SQLITE",
    "sqlite": {
      "path": "jobs_data/jobs.db"
    }
  }
}

• No setup required
• File-based storage in jobs_data/jobs.db
• Ideal for small to medium servers

PostgreSQL - For high-performance networks

{
  "database": {
    "type": "POSTGRESQL",
    "postgresql": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 5432,
      "database": "jobs",
      "username": "jobs_user",
      "password": "your_password",
      "poolSize": 10
    }
  }
}

• Connection pooling for optimal performance
• Recommended for servers with large player counts

Jobs Settings (jobs_config.json)

{
  "jobs": {
    "enableLeveling": true,
    "maxLevel": 100,
    "baseExperienceMultiplier": 1.0
  }
}

Permissions

SimpleJobs uses a straightforward permission system:

Player Permissions (granted to all players by default)

• jobs.user - Base user permission
• jobs.join - Join jobs
• jobs.leave - Leave jobs
• jobs.info - View job information

Admin Permissions (automatically given to server operators)

• jobs.admin - Full administrative access

Leveling System

Experience Formula

Experience required for next level: 100 × level^1.5

Examples:

• Level 1→2: 100 XP
• Level 10→11: 3,162 XP
• Level 50→51: 35,355 XP
• Level 99→100: 98,995 XP

Reward Scaling

All rewards scale with player level: baseReward × (1 + level × 0.05)

Example: At level 10, a 10 coin base reward becomes: 10 × (1 + 10 × 0.05) = 15 coins

SimpleJobs implements the Cassaforte Economy API, ensuring:

• Automatic money deposits to player accounts
