What is Prison?
Prison is a Minecraft plugin that adds all the features necessary for prison servers. Plugins for prison servers exist already, but many of them are poorly maintained, and the solid ones are paid resources. Prison eliminates the paywall and the updating hassle, and puts a one-stop solution in their place.
What can it do?
Prison has two main components - called modules - that are built-in: mines and ranks.
Mines
- Create mines for players to collect materials.
- Have mines automatically reset after a certain amount of time.
- Interactively edit the composition of your mines.
- Teleport your players to safety during a mine reset, so they don't suffocate.
Ranks
- Create ranks for users to buy.
- Use multiple rank ladders. For example, you could have a prestige ladder, or a donor ladder, etc.
- Run commands when users rank up, to give them access to new permissions or set off fireworks in their place.
- Show rank tags in chat with the help of a chat formatting plugin, such as EssentialsX-Chat.
If you have suggestions for features that you'd like to see, you should create a feature request at our issue tracker and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Why should I switch to Prison?
If hassle-free updates and zero payments is not enough for you to consider switching to Prison, it doesn't stop there.
- Prison is modular. If you don't want to use a certain feature on your server, you can disable it in just a few keystrokes.
- Prison is completely, 100% open source. This means that your developers can make changes to the plugin to customize your server's experience, if you so desire.
- Prison is and always will be free. While we do ask for donations, all of our code, resources, and binaries are provided free of charge to the Minecraft community.
- New releases are heavily bug-tested. We test every single aspect of every new release of Prison before releasing it to the community. If a release doesn't pass our rigorous update checklist, it is iterated upon until it does. What does this mean for you? Solid updates with minimal bugs for your server.
- Prison is always expanding. We are always looking for ways to expand Prison with features that make your server run more smoothly. Additionally, we are always looking for contributions from the community, be it code contributions, feature requests, bug reports, translations, or documentation.

Posted Feb 11, 2015Hi! Trying to get this plugin to work for my server. Only issue is when I attempt to use any prison commands it's blocked in all worlds. Won't say which it works in though. I haven't set anything in my per world plugins folder for it to restrict world access yet either. Perhaps any plugins you know of that would conflict with it? If you need my plugin list I would be happy to provide it.

I will not let it go down. I will update it for new Minecraft versions. However, I will no longer be adding stuff to it. The only people adding stuff to it now is the community.

Posted Feb 8, 2015Hello, SirFaizdat. Please, I mean please don't stop working on Prison. This plugin is amazing, and works flawlessly for me. Please continue to work on it. I was a bit sad because you said you were going to stop working on it. This is the best prison plugin I have ever come across in my life. Please don't let it die. I beg.

It may never be released. The life of this plugin sadly may come to an end. There are just too many bugs and no one is really stepping forward and submitting pull requests, and don't have the time to manage all the bug reports anymore.

Posted Feb 5, 2015Hello all,
I have discovered an issue related to my server in regards to the ranking system.
Upon successfully ranking up, if I restart or reload my server, everybody gets reset back to the default rank. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?
I am making a strong attempt to add Prison to my server and have resorted to add this plugin to my server. However, I am having an issue that I cannot seem to resolve after three days of work.
If you could please lend be a hand, that would be splendid.
Thank you for your time in reading this and attempting to assist me in my Prison endeavors, lolelf123.

Posted Feb 4, 2015Do you have a global WorldGuard region? That might be it. Try standing in the mine and then doing '/rg info' to see if there is a region inside the mine.

Prison doesn't supply block specific protection, so it must be another plugin. Do you have worldguard or Essentials Protect installed?

Posted Jan 28, 2015Ok thank you very much SirFaizdat. It's a really great plugin and I believe you can do it. Adding multiworld support would make me a very happy person. Thanks.

Currently the plugin is not really good with multiworld support. I don't know if I'll be supporting this plugin for much longer, so I'll hopefully release an update with multiworld before I transfer the plugin to a new dev.
