Server Information

Server IP - ◈ play.thepen-mc.net ◈

So What's the Deal?

Classic. Nostalgic. Barebones. Prison.

Do you remember the old days of Prison Servers? Before OP Prison Servers? Back in 2014? Those were the days. Where not everyone had Diamond and Netherite armor and you actually had to grind? Where you had to PVP to survive? If you remember those days and you enjoyed the grind and community aspect of a Classic Prison Server, then you're in the right place.

What makes this server different?

➵ Become a Parolee and leave the prison

➵ Guards who will assist/protect new players and enforce contraband

➵ Swords, potions, and drugs (coming soon) are all illegal, and Guards will PVP you if they see you with them

➵ The grind - You have to smelt your ores, and walk through PVP zones to sell them in the Commissary, no more instasell

➵ Rent a prison cell, or a prison plot, to store your things, build, or create your own shop to sell to others

➵ You start with basic tools and leather armor, you have to work for better gear

➵ Solitary Confinement - you can get sent here by a Guard for disobeying them

➵ Bounties - have an enemy? Just put a bounty on their head. Check the bounty poster board to see what bounties you can claim

➵ Auction House - sell your items at auction

➵ Parkour challenges and hidden Quests (coming soon) throughout the Prison

➵ Multiple ways to Earn Money - Fishing, Farming, Mining

What are the Ranks?

A - Default Prisoner

B - $50,000

C - $350,000

D - $1,000,000

E - $3,000,000

Parolee - $6,000,000

Citizen - $10,000,000

Guard - Apply On our Discord!

What's a Guard?

Guards were once commonplace on Prison Servers. They bring a Roleplay aspect to the server and help maintain order in the prison. Guards will protect new players and will enforce the below prison rules:

➵ PVP is not allowed

➵ Swords are not allowed

➵ Potions are not allowed

➵ Drugs are not allowed

➵ Bows are not allowed

Breaking these rules in front of a Guard will either result in them attempting to kill you or sending you to Solitary Confinement for 5 Minutes (If you run from them).

Meet these Requirements to Apply for the position:

5 Hours of server playertime (check with /playtime)

Be a minimum age of 13

Be at minimum the "B" rank

Familiar with navigating the Minecraft and Discord servers

Have a basic understanding of how to roleplay as a Guard

It's time to bring back the era of Classic Prisons!
