Prison Season 7

Hey all!

Season 6 saw an exciting amount of gameplay and advancements by the majority of our players with last season being the longest season we've had on the prison server! We're excited to finally be able to announce a variety of significant improvements, updates and changes we've made to the prison server that we cannot wait for you to try out! There's a lot to cover, so we hope you take your time to go through everything below to stay informed on anything that has changed and how some of our new features work - be sure to cover everything below before asking questions!

1.17 Update

Prison will now be running 1.17 using 1.12.2 is no longer recommended, please use the latest version for an optimal experience. Players with access to limited creative can freely use the new items/blocks introduced in the newer versions.

Prison Player Mines

Each player will now have their own mine, this means the previous /warp [A - Angel] system no longer exists players will be able to teleport to their own mine via /mine

Player mines work similar to the /warp system in the previous seasons although, when you rankup the mine will automatically reset and change the mine's blocks and sell prices to the next rank.
If you have a donator rank, the server will pick the best sell prices for you between your donator rank and 'rankup' rank
- Example: Player has Lapis rank, but also is Angel rank ---> Server will give Angel rank sell prices as it's higher than Lapis sell prices
