This mining smelting job gives players a complete legal grind, taking them from swinging a pickaxe at raw ore through smelting it into ingots and selling the finished metal for profit. It is a satisfying, honest money-maker that fills your economy with an activity anyone can start on day one.
Miners head to a quarry, break rock into ore with skill-based digging, then haul their haul to a furnace where smelting converts it into valuable ingots. Each stage uses real inventory items and configurable timers, so the loop feels like genuine labour rather than an instant payout.
Stages of the mining smelting job
- Skill-based ore mining at configurable quarry and rock locations.
- Smelting stations that convert raw ore into higher-value ingots.
- Item-based flow so ore and ingots move through standard inventories.
- Selling points with adjustable prices for a balanced payout curve.
- Optional tool requirements like pickaxes that wear down over time.
Configurable and stable
- Set yields, timers, prices and locations from one clear config file.
- Server-side checks prevent spawned ore and duped ingots.
- Lightweight, event-driven logic with no constant background loops.
- Translatable notifications and labels for global servers.
- Works cleanly with common frameworks and inventory systems.

It also slots naturally into the loops your players already enjoy, giving staff and regulars one more reason to keep coming back, and because it is open-source you can adjust, rename and balance it to match exactly how your own server likes to run.
Because it is built to drop straight into a live server, this release installs cleanly and works alongside the systems you already run, so it earns its place without the usual porting headaches — the kind of dependable, ready-to-use addition that quietly raises the overall quality of a FiveM server.
