WorkForce

by AsterJEK

WorkForce is a Forge economy mod for 1.20.1 that lets server owners set up jobs for roleplay servers, with players picking from them.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Jobs are defined on the server, and each one controls which restricted items a player may use or craft. A chest-based interface lets an administrator manage those restrictions without editing files by hand. Players can hold several jobs at once, because the mod relies on Minecraft's tag system to decide which items each job covers.

Players do not need the mod to join a server that runs it, since the environment is server-side only. Installation has no required dependencies, and the mod adds its own items and blocks, plus a list of commands that can be viewed in game. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0-beta as the latest file, and the code is not open source under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Job management

    Server owners can set up and manage jobs for roleplay servers, with rules for each job kept in one place.

  2. Restricted item chest

    Restricted items are handled through a chest interface that is simple to read and change.

  3. Multiple jobs per player

    A player can hold more than one job at a time, with each job's permissions applied through item tags.

  4. Vanilla-friendly design

    The mod works alongside vanilla content and adds new items and blocks without replacing existing ones.

  5. Profession help and commands

    A profession help entry and a full list of available commands are provided, along with instructions for configuring the mod.
