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.

@SirFaizdat
yep...it says it's not up to date...but i'm using 1.7.2bukkit and prisonn 1.1.2 pastebin:http://pastebin.com/aXdQ7LXJ
@SirFaizdat
Is there a way though to have it just rankup to another rank not the ones you have to donate to?
@redikus
Is there an error in the console?
@VideoGameBlackBelt
The plugin does not have its own ranks. It just promotes you to the next rank when you do /rankup. It uses your permissions plugin's ranks. Just set the warps in the permissions plugin!
Question, what if I have a server with more than prison, like spleef lets say. And there's perks for spleef if you donate for a rank. You then decide to play on prison so you do that. You get far enough and you get enough money to /rankup (I think this plugin has its own ranks inside of it right?) You do /rankup and it ranks you up to the built into the plugin next rank. You do /warp {whatever the rank is} and you get warped there. Essentials would do this. But wouldnt it have to connect with this plugin to have a specific warp for access for that person when they're that rank cause what if I use Bpermissions (I do lol) or any other permissions plugin? It would think there is no such rank? Do I just set the warp with this plugin? Thanks!
@TraxxasHosting
i have the same issue
the problem solves only if i delete the conigs files...i need to do that at every reload/restart
@redikus
A patch is coming out (Prison v1.1.5) that should fix this. Should be out very soon.
i have a problem..The plugin just stopped working..i can't do any command
@EpicXBladez
Make sure you added the ranks to Prison by running this command:
/prisonranks add <Rank Name> <Price>
@EpicXBladez
Me too
im having issues, i have set up the ranks, yet when i use /rankup it says 'you have already reached the highest rank! (no ranks loaded)
what should i do? ==
Yesterday I installed the plugin. I made the ranks and some mines. The following day I went on the server to finish the mines. I did /mines it then pops up with a message saying type /mines help for help. I then typed /mines help it shows up with the same command. " type /mines help for help". Could you help me fix this. If it is best to work this out over Skype my skype name is XxXCraftAPro from AUS. If you could help me work this out it would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards, Carter Douglas Oblivion Network CEO
@SirFaizdat
Can you make thatm when the mines reset, it will teleport the player out of the mine?
@Doggmatic
I have been considering adding economy. The only problem is compatibility with other plugins. Vault allows plugins to interact with tons of different economy plugins. However, if I release economy in this plugin, Vault will not support it, and many plugins that rely on economy will not have it. However, I might add an economy into Prison in the future, once I find out how to get Vault to support it ;)
Was that confusing? xD
in 2.0 are you going to have an eco part with it? I am trying to prison in a separate world and I am having issues separating the money from each world. I am using perworldplugins but not too many eco plugins work properly anymore. I have iconomy for my survival world and boseconomy for prison but it wants to take iconomy money to rankup in prison for some reason. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks for your hard work.
@SirFaizdat
I got it working. There was an error in my Group Manager glitching it. One thing I noticed tho is that it is not warning us when the mine is resetting. I have it resetting every 5 minutes with warnings at 2,1 but it doesnt warn us.
@Wetpoppy
Released 1.1.4 that basically reverts to 1.1.2 which was relatively bug free. I know my plugin is REALLY BUGGY which is why I've started development on Prison 2.0, which you can read about here ;)
Using the latest update (This happened in the last version too) when I make a mine for example /mines create A-logs 17 100%, and then save-all then reboot it doesn't work after the reboot. It completely destroys the plugin and I can't use any of the plugin's features. It's a pretty major bug, please fix ASAP. Thanks.
@Doggmatic
Can you send me your ranks.yml and permissions file in a PM?
