The '''Miner''' is one of six [[Jobs|jobs]] on Prosperity SMP. Miners earn wages by breaking stone, ores, and deepslate in the resource world. Higher levels unlock drills (3x3 AOE mining tools), Master Smith enchant upgrades, and access to the prestige system.

== Joining ==
Run <code>/jobs join miner</code> or select Miner from <code>/jobs browse</code>.

== Pay rates ==
Miners earn per block broken. Wages increase by 1% per level (up to +50% at level 50).

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Block !! Base wage
|-
| Stone, deepslate, granite, diorite, andesite || $0.035
|-
| Cobblestone || $0.025
|-
| End stone || $0.040
|-
| Coal ore || $0.040
|-
| Iron ore || $0.040
|-
| Gold ore || $0.040
|-
| Diamond ore || $0.040
|-
| Sandstone, red sandstone || $0.025
|}

Income also comes from selling mined materials at the [[Admin shop]] or player [[ChestShop|shops]], and from [[Contracts|civic contracts]].

== Drills ==
Drills are 3x3 AOE pickaxes that break a 9-block area with each swing. They are purchased with <code>/buydrill</code> and gated by Miner level.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tier !! Name !! Level !! Price !! Base !! Enchants
|-
| 1 || Compact Drill || 15 || $1,000 || Iron pickaxe || Efficiency III, Unbreaking IV
|-
| 2 || Industrial Drill || 30 || $4,000 || Diamond pickaxe || Efficiency IV, Unbreaking III, Fortune I
|-
| 3 || Apex Drill || 45 || $6,500 || Netherite pickaxe || Efficiency V, Unbreaking IV, Fortune II
|}

Drills work only in the resource world, nether, and end. They are blocked in the main world to prevent plot griefing. Drills are repairable via anvil with the matching ingot material.

=== Drill AOE behavior ===
Each swing consumes one durability point on the center block only. The eight surrounding blocks are broken without additional durability cost but still drop items normally. Fortune enchants apply to all nine blocks.

Jobs wages are paid only for the center block. The drill's value comes from material yield, not wage multiplication.

== Master Smith ==
The [[Commands#Tools and upgrades|Master Smith]] is an upgrade station at the Job Center that offers elevated enchant levels for pickaxes.

=== Direct upgrades (skill tree gated) ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Enchant !! Unlock !! Cost
|-
| Efficiency VII || Skill tree node (L35+) || $5,000 + 3 diamond blocks + 8 iron blocks
|-
| Fortune V || Skill tree node (L45+) || $5,000 + 3 diamond blocks + 8 gold blocks
|}

=== Enchanted books ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Book !! Gate !! Cost
|-
| Efficiency VII || Skill tree || $10,000 + 5 diamond blocks
|-
| Fortune V || Skill tree || $12,000 + 5 diamond blocks
|-
| Efficiency VIII || Prestige P2 (Twice-Forged) || $35,000 + 12 diamond blocks
|-
| Fortune VI || Prestige P2 (Twice-Forged) || $40,000 + 12 diamond blocks
|-
| Efficiency IX || Prestige P4 (Mythic) || $100,000 + 20 diamond blocks
|-
| Fortune VII || Prestige P4 (Mythic) || $120,000 + 20 diamond blocks
|}

Books are applied via standard anvil. Direct upgrades cannot be applied to drills, but books can be applied to drills through the anvil (intended design).

== Prestige tools ==
Each prestige tier grants a named prestige pickaxe with Efficiency V, Fortune III, and Unbreaking V on a netherite base. The tool name and color change per tier, but the base enchants are the same. The real stat progression comes from Master Smith books, which unlock at P2 and P4.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tier !! Tool name !! Master Smith unlock
|-
| P1 || Reborn Drill || (base Master Smith books)
|-
| P2 || Twice-Forged Drill || Tier 2 books (Eff VIII, Fortune VI)
|-
| P3 || Thrice-Forged Drill || (no new books)
|-
| P4 || Mythic Drill || Tier 3 books (Eff IX, Fortune VII)
|-
| P5 || Eternal Drill || (no new books)
|}

Prestige tools are soulbound (never drop on death) and tradeable (the original owner's name stays engraved).

== Titles ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Level !! Title
|-
| 1 || Stonehand
|-
| 10 || Cavehand
|-
| 20 || Chartered Miner
|-
| 30 || Deepworks Operator
|-
| 40 || Master Prospector
|-
| 50 || Titan of the Deep
|}

== Stipends ==
While mining in the resource world, Miners have a 20% chance per block broken to receive 1 gunpowder as a stipend drop. This supplies the crafting economy with gunpowder for TNT and firework rockets.
