Hello, I have quite a few ideas for suggestions for this plugin.

⭐ Suggestion 1 — Add/placeholders improvements

🔹 1) Global Top Level Calculation (Archived Jobs Option)

I would like better placeholder support for the rankings and the quest description — I had previously suggested this (#1943) and never received a reply.

I would like a configuration option to decide how the total level in the global top list (/jobs gtop) is calculated. Specifically, whether it should include only the jobs the player currently has active, or include archived jobs as well.

Example use case:

• A player was Miner level 50
• They left the Miner job without losing the level (it becomes archived)
• They then joined Fisherman and reached level 60
• With a config option like:
  showArchivedJobsInJobsTop: true/false

If true, in /jobs gtop and in the placeholder, the total level shown for the player would be 110 (50 archived + 60 current).
If this behavior is harder to implement via config, then a specific new placeholder such as %jobs_jtop_displayname_total_with_archivedjob_[1-15]% could be added instead — whichever is simpler to do.

🔹 2) Quest Placeholders (Description & Progress Bar)

I would also like improved placeholder support for quests.

• Currently we have:
  %jobsr_questdesc_[jobname/number]_[questIndicator]%

But this requires specifying both the job and the quest ID manually, which makes it difficult to use dynamically (for scoreboards, holograms, etc.).
Requested placeholders:

• ✅ A placeholder for:

The description of the quest the player is currently progressing in, automatically detected
(without needing to manually define job name or quest ID)

Example idea:
%jobs_quest_current_description%

• ✅ A placeholder for:

The progress bar of the current quest, exactly like the one shown when hovering a quest in /jobs quests

Example idea:
%jobs_quest_current_progressbar%

⭐ Suggestion 2 — Events in the API

In the current Jobs API, the event JobsExpGainEvent has a getJob() method, but JobsPaymentEvent does not have that same method. Would it be possible to add the job reference (getJob()) also inside JobsPaymentEvent, so plugins using the API can detect which job a payment is coming from?

⭐ Suggestion 3 — Payment config option affecting EXP

Related to the payment event — there’s this config option in Jobs:

# Changes how often, in seconds, players are paid out. Default is 5 seconds.
# Setting this too low may cause tick lag. Increase this to improve economy performance (at the cost of delays in payment)
economy-batch-delay: 60

It currently affects money payments, but could you make it also affect the experience gained payout? Something similar for EXP batching would help performance and consistency for servers with many players.

⭐ Observation — Placeholder not showing in /jobs gqtop

I’ve also noticed that %exp% in the locale file does not show in-game for the /jobs gqtop command. I’m not sure if this is a personal config issue on my end or something that affects everyone.

Thanks again for all the work on this plugin!
