How to work together safely

What to agree, what to check and how to protect yourself, whether you are paying for the work or doing it.

Most Minecraft work goes fine. When it does not, it is usually because two people assumed different things. A few habits remove most of the risk.

Minebit connects people and does not handle payment, hold money or resolve disputes. This is general advice, not legal advice.

Check who you are dealing with

  • Read the profile or network page. Look at reviews, completed jobs and the Vetted or Verified marks. They tell you something was checked, not that someone is guaranteed.
  • Ask for proof of past work and look at it yourself.
  • Be careful with accounts that are very new, push you off the site quickly or avoid simple questions.

Agree it in writing

Keep the agreement in your Minebit conversation or another message you both can see. It should cover:

  • What exactly will be delivered, and what counts as finished.
  • The price, the currency, and when payment is due.
  • The deadline, and what happens if it slips.
  • Who owns the result and whether the source is included.
  • What support or updates are included afterwards.

Pay in steps for bigger work

For anything more than a small task, split it. The person doing the work gets paid as they deliver. The person paying sees progress before they pay more. Both sides carry some risk, and neither carries all of it.

  • Be wary of anyone asking for a large payment before any work, or for payment methods that cannot be traced or reversed.
  • Be wary of anyone who wants the finished work delivered before they pay anything.
  • Ask about fees before you start, on both sides.

Review code before you run it

If you are the one paying, have someone review code before it goes on a live server, and test it first on a copy. If you are the one writing it, keep the source until you are paid and be clear about what you hand over.

Look after access

  • Give the least access that does the job. A developer rarely needs your full panel login.
  • Use separate accounts, not shared passwords.
  • Take access back when the work ends.

If something goes wrong

Talk first, calmly, in the conversation. If it is not resolved and you think someone broke the rules or took money without delivering, make a report with the evidence. The team reads reports. They can warn, remove marks, blacklist or ban, but they cannot recover money. After a job, leave an honest review so the next person knows.
