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.

@donnieremus
You have to create the rank "D" in GroupManager. Prison 2's rank system merely attaches itself to the groups plugin. Prison 3's ranks system will be less dumb ;)
Whenever I do /prisonranks add D 0 it says That rank does not exist! Of course it does not! What do I do? Im using Group Manager
@beachyboy18
PermissionsEx supports multiple groups, yes. You'd just do /pex user <username> group add Donator. Note that the Prison plugin won't regard Donator as a rank, but it will regard rank G as a rank. I don't know if that makes sense, reply if you need clarification ;)
Is there a way to have two ranks at once. For example, if the person was a Donator rank and rank G for example? I use permissionsex
@ak521
I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish it by 2/14/2016.
If Minecraft 1.9 is not released by that date, then I will release a beta version.
Great! Estimate of the day its going to come?
@GerardS0406
Indeed, it will (in fact, the code's been written already. I made a mistake and didn't test Prison 2 with GroupManager when I released it, and now it's too late to turn back.
Will Prison 3 once again support Group Manager since it's the only Permissions plugin that I know that supports different groups per world.
Sorry for the lack of replies to support tickets lately, I've been busy with midterms. My midterms are tomorrow, so things should be getting back to normal fairly soon. Wish me luck :)
@ak521
Yes, you can add commands that will be run for each rank.
When Prison3 is out, it can run specific commands when a player performs /rankup, right?
You may remember that with Prison 2.0 I had a forum where I posted periodical development logs. Well, I'm bringing that back for Prison 3.0.

New Website!
We now have a new website! Click here to access it. Note that it is in a beta phase, so please inform me of any bugs or shortcomings.
@thaletjuuh
Sorry when you have a good thing to offer as this plugin does let me know.
Hi, can someone explain why my mine is still empty when I create it and fill it with 25% coalore and 75% stone?
Thanks
@Hasbits: Could I have a domain name? That would be nice, thanks
Need Domain? I can take care of this for you and legal transfer it to you PM me a name you want domain. Also seems you might need some help with funds. Get in touch.
When the mines reset and people are standing on it player will go flying.
@LaLamborghini12
Something's wrong with the mine saving. Can you please create a support ticket here with more details? Thanks!
Hello
I love this plugin and can't wait for Prison 3 but lately I've had problems with the plugin. When i make a mine and place blocks in it and reset it etc. I shut down the server then the next day i come on and the mine is no longer there. Is this a bug?
Thanks
