# Digger

## Introduction

<figure><img src="/files/Oy9hHwSv4OEeRxe1YNqL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Diggers, pick up your trusty shovel and shovel away - dig exactly 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep and find the treasures within. This job is all about getting down to Earth, and carrying away as much of it as you can. Digger skills revolve around getting more and more valuable items out of the ground.

The Piglins at the Site P [trade outpost](/economy/traders.md) are fascinated with Earthly terrain, bring large amounts of it to them for a big reward. Otherwise, players looking to terraform are always in need of large quantities of dirt, sand, gravel, you name it. This job is about volume so have a beacon handy and preferably a mending book nearby.&#x20;
