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.

Someone has bought our (free) domain, which was "springpoint.ml." We no longer have a working website. I do not have a means of purchasing a real domain, and we will not see this happening until the summer or fall. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience in terms of the website, and I'm working on getting it back up.
I've committed to doing at least 30 minutes to an hour of coding a day, so Prison 3 development will hopefully speed up. However, I have midterm exams coming up, and we all know that exams are a child's worst enemy (next to snow plows in the winter, of course). I am still aiming to have Prison 3 out by Valentine's Day, because I've been keeping you waiting for over a year now. If all fails and for some reason Prison 3 can't be released on Valentine's Day, Prison v2.2 will be created to fix any outstanding bugs.
Thanks for your patience and understanding :)
@raffy43
It'll come in Prison 3, although the new command will be /mines <mine> set spawn. Part of the new save system is something called Properties; you set them using /mines set and get them using /mines get or /mines info. It'll make more sense when you see it!
when it is released a version that fixes the command "mines setspawn"?

I planned to release on New Years Day, but a ton of stuff happened and I barely had time to even use the computer. Development is back on track though, but I can only work so fast on a project of Prison 3's scale. I can try to make Prison 2 compatible with GroupManager, if you'd like.
@CeleriumGaming
If you use PerWorldPlugins, yes.
Would I be able to configure this to just one world? So it can be added to a hub type server?
Faizdat, that's the problem! I use GM, not PEX. Can you guys get a little faster production... you said "New Year's Day"
@WinFamSurv
Prison v2 is being actively supported, and Prison v3 is being actively developed. Prison v2 is still functional, as long as you do not use GroupManager for your group plugin.
Sorry about the links being down, my web host had a "hard drive disk failure."
Were looking to include this in our servers, but want to se Version 3 but none of the links to info about it are working, is this still being worked on/supported.
EllisWin.
Oh wait u said converters will be built in. YAY thanks :D
@SirFaizdat @ak521 Agreed.. Prison v2 is out and you can install it here at the site you're currently on! Prison 3 will be better, but no, sadly :( :( it didn't come out on New Years. Trust me, the wait will be worth it :3 :3 I got a sneak peek. BUT ALSO!!!!!!! How will i transfer what I've already done with the plugin into prison 3? I know that *.rank will not be a Binary file in v3, but can you make it so i can upload all my *.rank files into the ranks folder (same with *.mine) and it will convert it into a .yml or .txt file in Prison 3. Thanks, my server is counting on it :3 :D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Ok wove you SirFaizdat!
@ak521
Why not use the current version? Converters will be built in!
WHATTTTTTTT NOOOO Can you try to hurry- my server has been in maintenance for almost an year now! We need your plugin!
@ak521
Few more weeks!
Prison 3 out?
@SDkiller1973
Please create a ticket here. It makes it easier to put everything in one place ;)
That error message means there's an error in your console. Please create a ticket at the link above with that console error message.
Hi i really need a answer for this error.when im trying to add rank some kind of a error happen it is call [an error internal occur while attempting to perform this command.]I need a answer for this thank you
@Ninja044
I came on your server but no one is on right now. *.rank is a serialized binary file, you can't really edit it.
Hey, SirFaizdat! So, I'm guessing you're not up to this, but I need help in my server w/ making mines more op, IP: foreignhub.mcph.co WEB: foreignnetwork.weebly.com Also, what type of file is the *.rank?
