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.

Hi. Please do not use the new development build! Everything is buggy as it was built to test the new build server that we are using. I will let you know when the development build is ready for testing. Thanks for using Prison :)

Posted Mar 5, 2015Hello, I would like to mention a problem I am currently having with my server, with my first mine I create no-one can build/break it unless they are op but with every other mine I create it is completely fine. I would like to mention that this only occurs once I have created the mine and I restart the server... any idea what the cause of this could be? Note: I am using 1.8 v2.1.1
Regards Cameron Fraser

Thanks for maintaining this plugin, good luck nailing down the lag issue. I did try out the one you posted on the dev builds today in a test server, but noticed it didn't load old mines. Just wondering if I need to prepare myself to redo all the mines with the next version.

Hi! We're currently working on the lag. It seems the automatic reset system is lagging a bit but the /mines reset command is not. Personally, i have no idea what this is! XD Whatever it is ill work on the lag. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks! The vast majority of people voted for 1.8, so thats what version it will be! The next build implements CraftBukkit 1.8, not Spigot. I am hoping that Prison will work for Spigot, but thats up to Matt to find out!

Posted Feb 25, 2015Hey guys! Just though you'd like to hear what you should expect in the next few updates:
- Less "Timed out" errors (therefore lag improvement) - Prisons own ranking system - Random mine generator - Prisons own warp system (pickaxe on warp)
Although, I need to know what version you guys want Prison to be! We've released a version on both 1.7 and 1.8, but I need to know what version I should code Prison from now on.
Thanks guys...
Wish SirFaizdat good luck on the indie games!

Posted Feb 23, 2015Important Message I have decided to step down as the manager of Prison. The reason why is because I'm starting an indie game development group and I need to shift full attention to that. TheOneAndOnlyDMP9 has kindly offered to be the new manager of Prison. Thanks, DMP9!
Nothing should really change for you. In fact, things will get better! With a much more dedicated person as the manager (I don't have the time anymore), you should be seeing more frequent updates and feature requests acknowledged.

In config, there's an option to change that. For colors, just use an § instead of a & before the color code.
EDIT: What version of Prison are you running?

You must use Spigot if you want the newest version of Prison to work.

Posted Feb 17, 2015I don't know what's happening with PEX, it works fine for me. I am currently in the process of finding a developer to continue the project and hopefully fix these bugs. Is anyone willing to become the new developer of Prison?

Posted Feb 16, 2015Okay, so I switched from Group Manager to PermissionsEx. The reason being is that I have the prison ranks as the main groups and donator ranks as sub-groups. With Group Manager, if I add a player to a sub-group donator rank, the suffix for that group doesn't display, however, it does with PermissionsEx. There is a problem though. The ranking up in your plugin simply doesn't work with PermissionsEx. I've made the the inheritance is correct, I've completely wiped the data from PermissionsEx and your plugin and re-wrote everything, but it just doesn't work. I type /rankup, it ranks me up to the next rank, but when I type it again, it keeps me on that same rank. So each time a player ranks up, I'd need to restart the server, move that player manually to the group they ranked up to in the PermissionsEx configuration and start the server up again. I'd have to do this every time a player ranked up once. Please help me or if it's a bug with your plugin, it would be great if you could fix it ASAP. Thank you. :)
