Law

Have you ever needed to punish players without right-out banning them, maybe they are a friend that just needs a reminder as to the true values of Minecraft, if so then Law might be the answer. Law allows you to warp players into prisons that you have built and provides a lovely set of in-game commands to aid the process.

 Features

Currently Law provides the prison punishment, but will expand in the future to cover other ways to let players know "thats not how things go on this server".

<small>Prison</small>

• Build and define prisons with cells for locking up the bad guys.
• Imprison or free players with a single command, even if they are offline
• Players imprisoned/freed while offline appear in the correct location when they next join.
• As well as multiple cells, you can have multiple prisons in multiple worlds.
• Imprisoned players cannot perform interactions or break blocks, preventing escape.
• Prisoners inventories are confiscated and returned to them when freed.

<small>General</small>

• Intelligently saves plugin state to file after every command, which prevents losing changes after a server crash.
• Supports integration with permission plugins, with sensible defaults otherwise.

Todos Before Release

• Possibly integrate with economy plugins for a bail feature.
• Provide an imprisonment period, so that prisoners are freed automatically after a certain duration (like real life).

Visionary Goals

• Have other areas to a prison, such as a courtyard or canteen where imprisoned players will find themselves at different times throughout the day, where they can meet other prisoners for a chat.
• Allow prisoners to break blocks such that they could escape with their bare-hands, but have NPC guards which track them down if they escape.
• Have activities for prisoners to do which may earn them small amounts of money, or have benefit after release.
