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 Jul 16, 2015Hi everybody! I have been having trouble setting up the blocks in the mines on my 1.7.9-R.0.1 server, i try /mines addblock A emerald 1 and it just says "Please wait for he item manager to load." I came back hours later and it still says this, I've been thinking I don't have a plugin needed for it so as a reply to my post I would like an answer of how to fix this or the name of that Item Manager plugin. Thanks!

Posted Jul 15, 2015Prison 3 plugin came with an error when loading that was Java related. Seems dependant on 1.8 after getting that it loaded although in the Console loading it says at the end of prison info that it didn't load successfully. Any ideas? No Java error. Just prison saying it couldn't load. Not the server saying it couldn't load. I have tried both version on this page and the newest developer version. And one older version from newest on Dev page. Thoughts?

What version are you using? If it's v2.x.x, then the author (me) did put thought into how the mine reset. In the config, just set fill-mode: true to fill-mode: false.
By the way, it would cause much more lag than resetting only air. Imagine having a server with many large mines. It would cause a LARGE amount of lag because it will be resetting each block and it will try to do it on the same tick on the main server thread. This would equal time outs for many players and a potential server crash, which is why I added this fill (in) mode.

Posted Jul 13, 2015This plugin obviously took quite a bit of work and works excellently, but the author put little thought into the mechanics of the mine reset. For example: I have a mine that is 50% derp_block and 50% op_block. Let's say I mine 92% derp_block and 8% op_block per stack that I have mined. Over time, almost all the blocks will be op_block, or if someone mines mostly op_block, the opposite will be true, The config has no option to enable complete resets, which wouldn't cause that much more lag than resetting only air.

It's possible to remove access to the command. Just add the permission "-prison.autosmelt" to all groups, and make sure that no groups have the "prison.autosmelt.auto" permission.

Posted Jul 13, 2015Ranking system
Thank you everyone for voting on the most recent poll. The poll is now closed. We have decided to concentrate on Prison's ranking system, as the majority of the votes on the poll went towards the ranking system.
There is a new poll
Thanks all,
The Prison Dev Team

In prison 3.0.1 you can disable commands if you wish, but in prison 2.1.1, unless you recompile prison with auto smelt completely removed, it is impossible.

What do you mean by disable? You can't turn it off (i.e. typing /as doesn't turn it off), or is it that you can't remove the ability to use the /as command?
