Government build contracts

From Prosperity SMP Wiki

Government build contracts hire players to construct public buildings - civic halls, infrastructure, event spaces - on government land. A contracted builder receives flight and special building tools inside the build site, without needing to gather or buy the materials themselves. The system went live on 2026-06-10.

How it works

  1. Staff open a build contract that names the builder and the build site (a protected region).
  2. Inside the site, the builder runs /buildmode to enable flight.
  3. Materials are placed directly with region-limited WorldEdit commands - blocks go straight into the world, never into the builder's inventory.
  4. Basic blocks (stone, dirt, glass, and similar) can also be drawn by hand with /bp for detail work.
  5. When the build is finished, staff close the contract and all build-mode access is removed automatically.

Builders stay in survival mode the entire time. Flight turns off automatically when leaving the build site.

Builder commands

Command Description
/buildmode Toggle build flight while standing inside your contract's build site
/bp <block> Receive a stack of a basic building block (stone, cobblestone, dirt, sand, glass, and similar)
//wand Get the WorldEdit selection wand
//set <block> Fill your selection with a block
//replace <from> <to> Replace blocks within your selection
//undo Undo your last WorldEdit action

Limits

  • WorldEdit works only inside the contract's build site and only with building materials. Valuable blocks (ores, diamond, netherite, beacons), containers, TNT, and lava cannot be placed.
  • The hand palette (/bp) covers only basic, low-value blocks. Everything with market value is placed via WorldEdit so it never enters an inventory.
  • Job wages are not paid inside build sites. Placing or breaking blocks on a government build does not earn Jobs income - builds are paid through the contract itself.
  • Build-mode access ends when the contract closes, when the builder logs out, or when staff revoke it.

Getting hired

Build contracts are opened by staff for specific public projects. If you want to build for the government, reach out on Discord - strong builders are always wanted.
