Prison
Prison is an uncomplicated imprisoning plugin. Many different locations can be designated as prisons, and upon being killed by a player with the correct permission, a player will respawn at the nearest one. Prisons are simply defined as locations in a world - keeping them there is up to you!
The plugin is primarily for use on role playing servers, and has little use in combating true, malicious griefing. The idea for this simple plugin was suggested by Rellac, here.
Defining Features
- Minimal fluff - does the job and no more.
- Multiple prisons.
- Prisoners are sent to the closest prison.
- Players are sent to prison upon being killed by another player.
Commands
Prison locations are able to be added, removed and listed with commands.
| Command | Description | Aliases |
| prison | Displays useful information and available commands. | |
| createprison <name> <x> <y> <z> <world> | Creates a prison at the location. | addprison, setprison |
| removeprison <name> | The named prison is deleted. | rmprison, delprison |
| listprisons | All prisons are listed, along with their coordinates. | lsprisons, prisons |
Permissions
Permission nodes exist for those who can edit prisons, imprison and cannot be imprisoned.
| Node | Description |
| prison.edit | Controls the use of all prison editing commands. |
| prison.add | Controls use of the command to create prisons. |
| prison.remove | Controls use of the command to remove prisons. |
| prison.list | Controls use of the command to list prisons. |
| prison.imprison | Those killed by players with this permission will be imprisoned. |
| prison.immune | Those with this permission cannot be sent to prison. |
Change Log
| Version | Changes |
| 1.0.0 | Out of beta! Adds argument prediction, a prettier list command and a /prison command. |

Hey roystavasius,
I have no idea how these would affect Prison. I guess that it would differ depending on the implementation of the command.
Thanks, Redd.

Hi gooftcreeper425,
Are you saying that it does not work in 1.7.2?

Hi skarelock,
Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Unfortunately, I really don't have any time to update Prison at the moment. I'll add it to the idea list though!
Thank you, Liam

Posted Oct 3, 2013Wouldn't it make more sense if you respawned at the 2nd nearest jail to prevent spawn camping? Just a suggestion.

Heya DirtyBoner,
Nice idea, but most likely no. As I mention up in the description, I want to keep this plugin as simple as possible, and part of this is not bothering with what people do after they have been sent to prison. Regardless, I'll stick it on the ideas list, but I expect you'll find this kind of thing in another plugin.
Classy name by the way. ;)
Thanks, ReddChicken.

Posted Jul 8, 2013Can you perhaps make it so when the person has been jailed you can set a timer for that person's release?

Hi RicardoRedstone,
Yes, there is a message displayed to the player upon death. And yes, I will probably allow this to be customised (and disabled) in the future. However, this plugin is an imprisoning plugin, and that fact is likely to become more explicit as it develops. I would recommend using a dedicated respawning plugin, so you can get exactly what you need.
Thanks, ReddChicken.

Posted Jul 2, 2013Could this be used like a repawn point plugin in a RPG server? or it doesnt only change the respawning point(a message in chat or sometihng like that, and also, if theres anytihng of that kind, theres any way to disable?)?

Hi guys,
Sorry for the incompatibility problem. I haven't had much time to work on Prison at all recently, but the issue will be fixed.
The conflict with EssentialSpawn has now been fixed! Get yourself some v0.3.

Another plugin is probably overriding Prison. I find it has incompatibilities with EssentialsSpawn.

Posted Jun 19, 2013For some reason this plugin is just no working at for us. We set up a prison (first one named jail then one named prison) and set up permissions for our police group to have prison.imprison and prison.immune. I killed someone without the prison.immune while I had prison.imprison and she respawned at spawn, not in the jail, but it gave her a message saying that she had been imprisoned? Any help?

That would be the name of the world. By default, the name of the main world is literally "world".
In the future I plan on having Prison predict the world name, instead of having you type it in every time.

HI x3endlessfear,
Yes, I can see this being needed. I will keep the orignal functionality for now, but this is very likely to appear in the configuration at some point.
Thank you, ReddChicken.

Posted Jun 3, 2013Id like to see a config for being able to only need to hit the guy with a certain item to arrest him, instead of full on killing him which would also allow the person with the permissions node to kill without putting people in jail.
