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.

Have you gave up on the new revamp? Seems like your about 2 months overdue on your initial estimation.
@TheStripeOfRed
I use World Guard Regions...Do you know how to set permission Groups to be able to access regions? Just look at WG Wiki about regions. Here's a hint, it's my 1st 2 mines....
My apologies to all of you who are asking questions in this comments section. I didn't even know that there was a Curse page for this.
Please ask your questions and bug reports by creating a ticket on the issue tracker. I will not respond to support questions in the comments.
@MCTylerPVP
No! I have ranks For A, But I am wondering how do I make it so A rank cant acess b mine but B can...
Can someone show me how to set that up?
@MCTylerPVP
Vault allows plugins such as Prison and Jobs to use CraftConomy as well as a load of other economy plugins by integrating with the plugins directly and then having plugins (such as Prison) access the same code to retrieve the data (rather than having to access CraftConomy, Essentials Eco, iConomy, etc. directly). There must be something wrong with Vault's CraftConomy implementation, perhaps there was an update to CraftConomy or Vault.
I don't think it was Vault, but I guess Prison and CC has 2 different methods of accessing Vault, anyway I found a solution with MWM and Essentials. All the errors were directly pointed at Prison, not Vault. (CC didn't work with the Jobs Plugin either.)
@MCTylerPVP
It must be a Vault issue there, because all Prison 2 does is access Vault's methods to retrieve data.
@TheStripeOfRed
Seriously? DOES ANYONE EVER READ?
Umm. I have a problem. I am trying to do /mines addrank, but it's saying its not a command. Is there something i'm missing or is this a bug. I am using the 2.1.6 emergency patch thing.
Prison 2 doesn't work with CraftConomy...Who will give in on this one?
@Missentv
I do not think this is possible. I have tried adding this functionality in the past, only to find that WorldEdit does not allow you to select non-cuboid regions (or at least, access these locations from the code). If WorldEdit adds support for this in its API in the future, I'll definitely add it.
Hi SirFaizdat
How do i make my Mine in a cyllinder, instead of a square?? which plugins do i need, HOW ??
@ChimpGamer
You can still use GroupManager, it's just that it glitches out a lot and causes a lot of issues. I believe that the issue lies with GroupManager <-> Vault, since GroupManager is so outdated, but I can't find the exact cause.
@GarrettD78
It works on 1.9.
@MJA2308
Pre-alpha builds can be found here. I am currently working on developing v0.2.0-alpha, which will take a lot of work because I am trying to move away from the library that I used with v0.1.0.
Where is prison 3 it is the 18th of March 2016!!!!! WHERE IS IT?????
Works on 1.9?
How to disable the auto smelt
Like i want it only for donor ranks @LanbertMC
You don't know how to Negate a Permission?
@valzuuu
I'm sorry that you're not satisfied with the plugin. If it doesn't satisfy you currently, don't keep using it. Check back for Prison 3 though, because it will have a lot of features (including GroupManager support), some of which are currently only available in paid plugins.
Here are some alternatives for now: Mines - MineResetLite Ranks - EZRanksLite
I'm sure there are better ones, but these are the ones that I know of. I'm very sorry that Prison has failed to meet your expectations. Again, be sure to check back periodically for Prison 3.
