Unlike some jobs that feel repetitive, mining has variety, progression, and surprises. From hunting rare ores to dodging TNT, it’s both profitable and fun. With mood management, strategic grinding, and the right upgrades, the Miner job can fund everything from luxury cars to mega-mansions.

How to Become a Miner

Getting started as a Miner is simple and works just like any other job in Bloxburg:

  1. Open the Jobs Menu – Click on the briefcase icon on the right side of your screen.
  2. Select Miner – Scroll until you find the Miner job and accept it.
  3. Head to the Mines – You’ll be teleported straight into the Bloxburg Mine, a large cave full of blocks and valuable ores waiting to be uncovered.

The Mining Process: What You’ll Do

Once inside the mines, you’ll be geared up with a helmet and pickaxe. From there, it’s all about breaking blocks to collect money and experience.

  • Mining Blocks: Walk up to grey, unmined blocks, click, and watch your character swing the pickaxe until they break. Each block mined rewards you with cash and job experience.
  • Rare Ores = Bigger Pay: While standard grey blocks give you a base payout, rare ores like Copper, Gold, and Amethyst show up deeper in the mine. They take longer to break but pay out much more.
  • Watch for TNT: Some blocks are marked with TNT. Mine one, and you’ll have seconds to run before it explodes. The blast will still give you money and experience, but if you’re too close, you’ll “die” and get sent back to your house—slowing your grind.

How to Maximize Your Mining Income

Mining is simple, but the right strategies make a huge difference in how much money you pocket:

1. Keep Your Moods High

Your moods—Fun, Energy, Hygiene, and Hunger—directly boost your pay. Always start mining with full moods. A smart trick is to set up a mood station (like a TV, bed, or fridge) near the mine entrance for quick top-ups during long sessions.

2. Prioritize Rare Ores

Standard blocks are steady, but if you want serious profit, go deeper and focus on rare ores. These yield the best payouts and XP, making your grind much more efficient.

3. Buy the Excellent Employee Gamepass

If you’re serious about maximizing profits, the Excellent Employee gamepass is worth the Robux. It gives you a permanent boost to both pay and job XP, turning mining into one of the highest-paying jobs in Bloxburg.

4. Semi-AFK Mining

Mining is one of the better jobs for going semi-AFK. Position your camera where plenty of blocks spawn, then repeatedly press the action button. Just stay alert for TNT blocks—you don’t want to get blown up mid-grind.
