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.

WOOP! I am excited to join the team! Expect even faster bug squashing and new features :D Already have some great ideas.
@SirFaizdat
Ah ok. The page still says "Currently compatible with PermissionsEX" so I wasn't sure.
@kyledag500
Funny you said that, I just switched from PermissionsEx to fully the Vault API in the most recent 1.1 update!
I would recommend using the Vault API for the perms, instead of PermissionsEX. I was thinking about creating a prison plugin, but then I saw you did this one. I would be willing to help out with more features if you like :D Maybe PM me?
@JacobsBukkit
Oh dear! Thanks for telling me! I will release a fix ASAP!
Could you please tell me what permissions plugin you are using?
New Bug:
when adding a rank the price or name does not show up in /ranks but it shows up in the config? O.o

PLEASE FIX ASAP
@EnderKyuubiMC
Try deleting the jar file and the Prison folder, that should fix it ;)
If that doesn't, check to make sure you don't have any updater plugins installed. This plugin is incompatible with them.
@SirFaizdat
I am currently running Prison v1.0.2. Once everything is fixed up, I think this will make a great plugin for prison servers.
@JacobsBukkit
Due to my poor memory I forgot to add support for GroupManager and bPermissions, which causes it to not support their names from showing. This will be fixed in a future update. Sorry for all of the inconvenience!
@EnderKyuubiMC
What version are you running? Are you running 1.0.1? If so, please update to 1.0.2 which includes a patch for this. If not, please tell me by replying to this message.
Bug:
None of the commands except /ranks and /mines say anything after entering. Doing /mines and /ranks say to do /ranks help and /mines help but just repeat the msg after entering.
Bug:
Ranks do not show up when doing /ranks
@ergenta
If there is an error in the console, can you please post it?
The plugin will not load into my server. says its not updated and I'm running 1.7.2. what would cause this?
