Prison server

Prison

Start at rank A and mine your way to Z. Sell your resources, unlock more mines and turn your pickaxe into a tool that suits the way you play. Build your own cell, work through quests and compete in Pit Rush. Once you reach Z, Prestige gives you another climb with new perks to work towards.

Your first few minutes

Your starter kit is given to you automatically when you first join Prison, including a pickaxe to get you started.

1. Use /mine to travel to the mine for your current rank.
2. Equip the pickaxe from your starter kit and mine inside the mining area. Collected resources go into your inventory.
3. Right-click the mine's sell NPC to sell eligible items. Sell regularly so your inventory has room for more resources.
4. Check /ranklist for rank prices, then use /rankup when you can afford the next rank.
5. Keep using your pickaxe to earn tool XP. Sneak and right-click with it to open its upgrade menu.
6. Use /rewards to collect stored rewards and /cell to claim your own building space.
7. Open /qa for quests and achievements, or watch for the next Pit Rush event.

Mining, selling and ranking up

Each rank unlocks its mine. /mine takes you to your current rank's mine, and a successful /rankup moves you to the newly unlocked one. Mine inside the pit rather than the surrounding build. Mines refill as you play.

The sell NPC is the straightforward way to sell your inventory's eligible items. You can also use /sell all if your rank gives you access to it. /sell hand sells matching items from your inventory, not just the single stack in your hand. Store any resources you want to keep for building before selling.

Use /ranklist to see the current money prices. After you enter Prestige, rank-ups also need reputation earned through mining. Your scoreboard shows your progress, while /mine stats gives you a more detailed breakdown.

Level up your pickaxe

Mining with an enhanced tool earns tool XP. Each tool level awards an upgrade token to that tool. These are separate from your Minecraft XP levels and from Prestige tokens.

Hold your pickaxe, sneak and right-click to open its menu. Choose Custom Upgrades, Vanilla Enchants or Tool Management. The menu shows your available tokens, upgrade limits and costs before you buy.

Custom upgrade slots are limited, so choose a combination that suits you. Prestige perks can expand those limits later. The Vanilla Enchants menu offers standard enchantments, while Tool Management lets you repair, rename or reset custom upgrades. Repairs and renaming use Minecraft XP levels. Resetting returns spent custom upgrade tokens; later resets cost Shards and there is a limit per tool. Check the confirmation menu before proceeding.

Rewards, Lucky Blocks and boosts

Keep an eye on /mine stats for your mining reward goals. Visit /rewards regularly to collect stored items, including mining rewards, rank badges and any Pit Rush prizes you win. Leave space in your inventory before collecting them.

• Miner Keys: earned through mining reward progress and used at the matching crate.
• Haste Potions: temporary mining-speed boosts. Read the item for its strength and duration.
• Lucky Blocks: can appear while you mine. Hit the Lucky Block to claim its reward.
• Luck Potions: earned through mining progress and collected from /rewards. Drinking one temporarily improves your chance of finding Lucky Blocks. You cannot drink another while one is active.
• Bombs: right-click while holding one in an unlocked mine to use its mining effect. Different bombs behave differently, so read the item first and check any owner or expiry restrictions.

What happens after Z?

At rank Z, use /rankup again when you meet the cost to enter the next Prestige and return to A. Higher Prestige levels make the climb more expensive. Once you are in Prestige, you also need reputation for rank-ups. Earn it by mining; your reputation resets when you enter a new Prestige.

Rank-ups during Prestige award Prestige tokens. Use /prestige to open the perk shop and spend them. Perks include mining effects, money and reputation boosts, Autosell, Auto Fix and higher tool-upgrade limits. The shop shows each perk's price, level and controls. Some perks can be toggled, and Speed and Haste let you choose an unlocked effect level.

Autosell sells eligible items when your inventory fills. Auto Fix repairs an enhanced tool just before it would break, but Auto Fix is disabled in the PvP mine, so watch your durability there.

Remember: /rankup advances your rank or Prestige; /prestige opens the perk shop. Prestige tokens upgrade your player perks, while tool upgrade tokens belong to your tool.

Your own cell

Use /cell to claim a cell if you do not have one, or return to your existing cell. Build and decorate inside your cell's editable area, store resources and invite friends. Trust only people you want to give building and interaction access to your cell.

Cells are for building and storage, with resources earned through the mines. Splash and lingering potions cannot be used in cell worlds.

Pit Rush

Pit Rush is a timed mining competition. When a round is running, use /warp pitrush to enter. Mine for points and compete for a place in the top three. The event's blocks score points instead of giving you normal mining drops.

Bring a plain, unenchanted pickaxe, axe, shovel or shears. Tools with custom Prison upgrades cannot be used, and Haste cannot be used in the pit. Keep your upgraded pickaxe for the normal mines and use a separate plain tool for this event.

• Changing bonus block: directly mining the highlighted material gives double points.
• Personal objectives: mine the target material and different block types for bonus points.
• Community goal: work together to reach the target. Once reached, players outside the displayed top three receive double direct-mining points to help them catch up.
• TNT blocks: trigger a mining blast for points. Blast-mined blocks do not advance personal objectives or the community goal.

Point multipliers never stack above double points. In the event world, the Pit Rush scoreboard shows time remaining, standings, bonuses and your objectives. The top three win prizes, which you collect through /rewards.

Quests, achievements and leaderboards

Open /qa to browse daily, weekly and monthly quests, achievements and journeys. Start a journey, choose your route and follow its objectives while you play. Earn Quest XP and spend it in the quest reward shop with /qa rewards. Quest XP is separate from your pickaxe XP, Minecraft XP and Prestige tokens.

Use /mine stats to see your rank, mining totals and reward progress, or /mine top to view the mining leaderboard. When a Hall of Fame season is active, /halloffame shows its information and /halloffame scores shows the current scores.

Getting around, homes and PvP

• /mine returns you to your current rank's mine.
• /top, when used in a normal rank mine, takes you to that mine's entrance.
• /warps opens the available warp destinations.
• /sethome and /home let you save and return to permitted locations, within your home limit.
• Homes may be set around normal mines you have unlocked, but not inside the mining pit, including spaces you have already mined out. Homes are not allowed in PvP mining areas.
• Saved homes still require access to their destination mine. After entering a new Prestige, unlock a mine again before returning there.
• PvP areas allow combat. Store valuables before entering and read the area's signs before you start mining or fighting.

Some utility commands and perks depend on your rank or unlocks. Use the in-game menus for current prices, requirements and limits.
