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.

Please help me!
Whe I use the command: /pranks add test 10
Appears: "That ranks does not exist!"
Notice for server owners
Mojang is allegedly beginning to enforce the EULA, warning servers that don't comply to comply within seven days. Read more here. I'll be attempting to write a list of EULA-compatible items for prison servers, so stay tuned for that.
SirFaizdat please put in the comments when prison3 is stable enough for me to use on my main server :P i been delaying prison on my server so long
@SirFaizdat
Oh yea...Didn't try that...Thanks.
nplax, u need to have the group created 2
@SirFaizdat When i do /prisonranks add A 10 it say Prison>that rank does not exist, also how do i create a default rank?!?
@MCTylerPVP
Does changing check-updates in the configuration to false work? Though you won't be notified of Prison 3's release that way.
@Noahkiq
Agree....Get rid of the update message Please!
A Note
The Prison 3 pre-releases are currently not functional enough to be used on a public server. That's why they're in the pre-alpha phase. The goal of releasing this pre-alpha is to see what issues exist in the foundations of Prison 3. Please consider trying it out a bit on your local server to see if it functions, and report all shortcomings to the issue tracker. Thanks :)

@ak521
Use one of the stable builds (v2.1.6) instead, that's the buggy alpha that doesn't even save correctly.
@SirFaizdat
SirFaizdat, I tested this on a server. Plugins loaded, but no commands work. If this might help, here you go:
[Server] INFO Error: Failed to enable module Mines. [Server] INFO Enabling module Mines... [Server] INFO Do not use this on your production server. It is very buggy and limited. You have been warned. [Server] INFO Enabling Prison-3 v0.1.0 [Server] INFO SpringCore v0.1.0 enabled successfully, in 43ms. [Server] INFO Enabling SpringCore v0.1.0
I'm using craftbukkit 1.8.8, btw.
Learn how to take no for an answer
more specifically, you are trying to check for updates, and not using any control form of a timeout. You are crashing the server because there was no response to your update site.
@MCTylerPVP
Yes, you can use those colors, I just hadn't realized I had to use actual PEX ranks which is probably one of the main reasons I want Prison v3.0.
Hey, I'll make you a deal...I will throw it on my VPS this weekend if you have a Awesome Pregenerated world that I can load with MultiWorld! Do you use onedrive or dropbox?
@Noahkiq
Can you use all those color codes in a rank? I called my rank a but I used the prefix in my Perm plugin to colorize everything.
@MCTylerPVP
Well, I did try to make it seem that way because it is a pre-alpha. However, with Spigot 1.9 coming out on Friday, it will accelerate through the alpha and beta phases fast.
It just sounds so unworkable. Maybe you shouldn't have described it so well.
@MCTylerPVP
I was hoping that more people would at least give it a test, because the fewer bug and feature requests I receive, the longer it'll take for me to find it myself. I am working on v0.2.0, but I don't know when it will be released since so far, only one bug ticket has been submitted :(
Ye I won't touch this even on my test server...Sorry.
@TMMcraft
Because it is far from ready and will probably end up ruining your main server.
