Changelog
The following are the most important features/modifications implemented toward this season's map and functions.
Server Version! Version 1.19 Update
We've updated our Prison to the newest version. To do this, we had to start all over again. We made sure to keep up with the latest from Minecraft, that's why we're using version 1.19. This update lets us add more new things. It also makes future updates to Snapcraft easier.
New! Spawn and Mines
With a full reset, we've introduced an exciting new spawn. This area includes a PvP arena featuring a PvP mine. The spawn area is also populated with helpful NPCs, ready to guide you through all the features we offer. Within the spawn, you'll find the beginner's mine and leaderboards that let you track your progress against other players.
But it doesn't stop at the spawn. We've added a whopping 32 new, larger mines, where you can use your custom enchantments. These mines include a variety of new 1.19 blocks, made possible by the latest update.
When you enter a mine, you'll see a mining scoreboard. It shows how much space you have left in your backpack and the percentage left before the mine resets. Selling items is now easier - you don't need an NPC. You can drop your backpack with 'Q' or use the /sell all command to sell all your items.
We've also set up flyzones in all mines, allowing you to fly around as you wish.
Updated! Gangs Feature
We're excited to introduce the Gangs feature in Prison. We've developed a unique version that includes several engaging elements:
- Gang Levels: Every gang has a level that provides extra boosts to its members based on the gang's rank. You can increase your gang's level through missions.
- Gang Missions: These daily tasks, upon completion, reward you with gang XP and gang bucks. You can use these for enhancing your gang with various perks.
- Gang Perks: These perks allow you to upgrade your gang in several ways, such as adding more members, expanding your gang vault, increasing your gang's sell multiplier, and more.
- Gang Bank: This is a shared vault where you can store various currencies with your gang, such as Money, Tokens, Gems, and Beacons. It allows you to both deposit and withdraw these currencies. There's also a log feature, so you can track who added or withdrew which currency and when.
- Gang Settings: This feature allows you to further personalize your gang. Here's what you can do:
- Gang join messages: Set a custom message that appears when a gang member logs in.
- Role names: Customize role names within your gang. For example, if you want moderators in your gang, you can create a role with that name.
- Role icons: Change the icon for each role in your gang. Choose from several templates and select your preferred color.
- Gang permissions: Manage what actions each role in your gang can perform. For instance, if you want moderators to only have certain abilities, you can adjust that here.
- Gang perks: Purchase upgrades like a larger vault, sell multiplier, and more.
Lastly, we have the Gang Top feature. More details about this can be found in the next section of this forum post.
New! Gang Top Feature and Rewards
The Gang Top feature showcases the best gangs on the server. To rank in this feature, your gang needs to accumulate beacons, a currency earned through mining. By depositing beacons into your gang bank, your gang can rise in the Gang Top rankings.
Each week, we reset the beacons and award prizes to the top 3 gangs. To compete, you need to mine and deposit beacons into your gang bank. After a week, the gang beacons will reset, and you have to start mining once again. This allows new players and gangs also to start competing in the gang top.
Here are the rewards we've set:
Weekly Prizes:
- 1st Place: The leader of the top-ranked gang receives 6,000 Snapcraft Gold.
- 2nd Place: The leader of the second-ranked gang receives 4,000 Snapcraft Gold.
- 3rd Place: The leader of the third-ranked gang receives 2,000 Snapcraft Gold.
Final Top Prizes (awarded at the end of the 6-week season):
- 1st Place: The top-ranked gang leader receives $150 USD and 15,000 Snapcraft Gold.
- 2nd Place: The second-ranked gang leader receives $75 USD and 10,000 Snapcraft Gold.
- 3rd Place: The third-ranked gang leader receives $25 USD and 7,500 Snapcraft Gold.
The Snapcraft Gold awarded weekly expires in 7 days. In the final week, we tally the beacons collected over the entire 6-week season to determine the winners. We believe this competitive aspect will keep players engaged and excited to participate.
New! Beacons Currency
We're introducing Beacons, a new currency essential for competing in the Gang Top feature, as explained earlier. You can earn Beacons through mining. To speed up your accumulation, consider getting a Beacon booster. Or a special enchantment, which will be detailed in the next section on Custom Enchantments, can help you find more boosters.
To check your current Beacon balance, use the /blockbalance command. Alternatively, you can view your balance along with other stats on the tab list.
New! Custom Enchantments
Building upon last season's success, we've added a range of new enchantments. These are designed to enhance the mining aspect of Prison, which we believe are most essential for this setting.
Enchanting your pickaxe is easy. Simply shift right-click to open a menu for the pickaxe. Here, you can apply the following enchantments:
- Efficiency: Increases block-breaking speed. Max level: 250 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Fortune: Yields extra drops while mining. Max level: 250 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Explosive: Triggers explosions to break extra blocks when mining. Max level: 500 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Token Greed: Chance to find extra tokens while mining. Max level: 250 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Jackhammer: Chance to remove a layer of blocks when mining. Max level: 500 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Veinminer: Automatically mines nearby blocks of the same type. Max level: 500 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Turtle: Launches a turtle shell that breaks blocks for you. Max level: 100 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Beacon Finder: Chance to find beacons while mining. Max level: 250 (when fully pickaxe prestige).
- Laser: Chance to mine a straight line around you. Max level: 250 (requires pickaxe prestige 2).
- Fund Raiser: Gifts every online player tokens when breaking blocks. Max level: 250 (requires pickaxe prestige 2).
- Purity: Increases sell multiplier every 5 minutes of active mining, depending on the level. Max level: 250 (requires pickaxe prestige 3).
- Lucky: Chance to find lucky crates while mining. Max level: 100 (requires pickaxe prestige 4).
To unlock the maximum level of certain enchantments, you will need to prestige your pickaxe. Prestiging allows your pickaxe to reach its full potential. Initially, enchantments have lower level limits. To access higher levels, you need to prestige your pickaxe. This requires a minimum of 400 enchantment levels on your pickaxe and at least 1 million blocks broken for the first prestige level. Each level has different requirements for enchantment levels and blocks broken.
Each time you prestige your pickaxe, it resets the enchantments. However, this allows you to reach higher levels and unlock new enchantments.
In the pickaxe menu, you can toggle enchantments and scrolls. If you don't want a certain enchantment, you can simply switch it off.
The pickaxe also has a new layout. Hover over it to see all the enchantments, the pickaxe level, added scrolls, and the pickaxe owner, all displayed in a fresh new format.
We've also introduced a new feature related to pickaxe enchantments, called the Pickaxe Researcher. This will be explained in the next section of this forum post.
New! Researcher Feature
We've just discussed pickaxe enchantments, and now we introduce the Researcher feature. This is designed to provide progression in the gameplay, ensuring you can't unlock everything instantly within just a few hours.
Enchantments are unlocked through a process of research. Simply choose an enchantment for research and wait for a certain duration until your pickaxe has fully researched it. Once the enchantment is found, you can start to unlock it. After completely researching one enchantment, you can proceed to the next.
For instance, finding the Jackhammer enchantment takes about 8 hours. You can expedite this process using in-game research timers.
This feature ensures a balanced pace of gameplay, preventing players from progressing too quickly.
Updated! Revamped Economy
We've completely overhauled the economy. The selling prices for mine blocks, rank-up costs, crate rewards, shop prices, and many more aspects have all been recalibrated. Our goal is to create a balanced and enjoyable prison economy for our players.
Please note that this is our first season of Prison, and your feedback is immensely valuable. We are committed to making improvements wherever possible based on your suggestions.
Updated! Backpacks Overhaul
Backpacks, an integral part of the in-game experience, have undergone a complete revamp. Your backpack is your loyal companion in the mines, automatically collecting and storing items for you. The starter backpack can hold up to 750 blocks, but this limit can be increased. Simply right-click your backpack to open a menu where you can make the following upgrades:
- "Capacity" Enchantment: This increases your backpack's storage by 250 items per level. You can purchase this upgrade with tokens. At the max level of 750, your backpack can store a whopping 187,500 items.
- "Charmed" Enchantment: This adds a chance to deposit extra items into your backpack. This enchantment has a max level of 400.
- "Auto Sell" Enchantment: Forget about manual selling. This enchantment will automatically sell your items. Each level decreases the time between sales, eventually almost instantaneously selling for you. The max level for this enchantment is 10,000.
If at any point you no longer need a certain enchantment like auto-selling, you can toggle these enchantments off via the same menu.
You can also sell all the items with the command /sell all or drop the backpack with the command Q. Please note that you must have a backpack in your inventory; otherwise, blocks cannot be sold, and items will not go into your inventory. This system ensures that more valuable items, like crate keys, go into your inventory, while blocks to be sold are stored in your backpack.
Updated! Boosters Enhancement
While boosters were part of last season, we've taken things up a notch this time around. We've not only improved the existing ones but also added a variety of new boosters. Now, you can avail of beacon, money, and token boosters, which can last from 5 minutes to over an hour, each offering different multipliers.
In addition to these, we're introducing an event called "Frenzy." This event, which occurs every 6 hours, features a different booster each time. For instance, there might be a x3 money booster active for an hour. This event is fully automated by the server, ensuring a seamless and exciting gaming experience.
New! Autominer
Autominer is a fantastic tool that enables you to continue mining even when you're not actively playing. It's like having a personal robot working tirelessly in the mine for you. You can access the Autominer feature using the /am or /autominer commands, which will open a menu where you can:
- Manage Autominer Time: To start using Autominer, you'll need some Autominer time, which can be obtained from crates and other sources.
- Toggle Autominer: To activate Autominer, you need to be inside a mine. Once activated, it spawns an NPC that mines for you. The NPC will gather and store all the items and tokens it discovers.
- Access Money & Token Storage: This is where all the money and tokens your Autominer has collected are stored. You can claim these by clicking on this button.
- Upgrade Autominer Pickaxe: You can enhance your Autominer's pickaxe just like your own, adding powerful enchantments like Explosive, Token Greed, and more.
- Upgrade Autominer: Here, you can boost your Autominer's speed and money-making abilities.
- Activate Autominer Boost: This feature uses up your Autominer time five times faster, but it also triples your Autominer's speed.
- Use Autominer Disenchanter: If you want to remove any pickaxe enchantments from your Autominer, you can do so here.
- Change Miner Skins: Customize your miner with various skins, each with its own unique effects. For instance, a Sonic Autominer skin will increase its speed.
Remember, you can unlock multiple Autominers – up to four can be running in the mines simultaneously.
New! Cells: The New Plots
We have replaced the previous plot feature with a new concept called Cells, which aligns more closely with the prison theme. Resembling the skyblock mode, Cells offer you a personal space, akin to an island or cell, where you can store your items, establish player shops, construct unique creations, and organize your own events. With Cells, you have far more customization possibilities than with the previous plots.
The Cells feature includes:
- Cell Upgrades: Enhance your cell's capabilities and features.
- Cell Permissions: Manage who can access and interact with your cell.
- Cell Warps: Set up specific points for quick teleportation within your cell.
- Cell Roles: Assign roles to your cell members to delegate responsibilities.
- Cell Settings: Adjust your cell's settings to suit your preferences.
- Visit Other Cells: Explore other players' cells for inspiration or socialization.
For more information on this feature, you can use the command /cell help in the game.
You can invite other players, including your gang members, to join your cell, fostering collaboration and teamwork to build an incredible cell together.
Updated! Crates
As a part of our extensive feature overhaul, we've completely revamped the crates system. All the crates have been redesigned from scratch, introducing new rewards that are carefully curated to integrate smoothly with the new prison economy.
We've also added Token and Mining crates that you can find simply by mining. Other crates like the Voting crate and several others can be won in-game or purchased.
A significant innovation is the introduction of virtual crate keys. With this feature, the crate key is stored within the crate itself instead of being an item. This change aims to prevent potential issues such as dupes.
New! Pickaxe Merchant
Have an extra pickaxe that's no longer needed? Or perhaps you've won one from a crate or discovered one during a PvP session in the PvP arena? You can utilize the Pickaxe Merchant to exchange these unwanted pickaxes for tokens. The merchant destroys the pickaxe and provides tokens in return based on the value he assigns to your pickaxe, which depends on the enchantment levels it carries.
This is accessible via an NPC at the spawn point or through the command /merchant.
New! Milestones
The Milestones feature is akin to playtime rewards, but it tracks the number of blocks mined instead of playtime. We've set up a total of 21 milestones, each offering a unique set of rewards.
This system provides additional incentives for mining blocks, keeping in mind that only raw blocks broken are counted, excluding those broken by explosive or other enchantments.
New! Bombs
Introducing a fun and dynamic feature for Prison – Bombs! These handy tools can accelerate your mining process. All you have to do is throw a bomb into a mine, and it will automatically sell the items it destroys for you.
Different tiers of bombs can be found in crates and other reward outlets. This small yet exciting feature adds a unique twist to the mining experience in Prison.
New! Mail Delivery
Experience a secure and hassle-free method of sending packages to your friends, even when they're offline! With our innovative Delivery System, you can send gifts, HELP your friends with in-game items, or surprise them with unexpected packages.
To send a package, simply type "/maildelivery" followed by the recipient's name. An inventory will appear where you can place your items. The delivery man will ensure your items are safely packaged and delivered to your friend. If you wish to cancel the delivery, just click the "Cancel" button.
To collect your packages, type "/deliveries" or visit the Delivery Man at spawn. Your packages will be securely stored until you're ready to claim them. We believe this Delivery System will add an exciting layer of interaction and convenience to our Minecraft server.
New! Leaderboards
We believe that players should be able to show off their achievements in style and feel a sense of progression and competition while playing on our server. That's why we are revamping our leaderboards and introducing new features to help you see exactly where you stand.
With our new leaderboard system, you'll be able to view your exact position on every leaderboard, whether it's in spawn or the newly introduced leaderboards. This means that you'll be able to see your rank and how far you are from the next level or achievement. Whether it's your Prison rank, your PvP kills, you'll be able to keep track of your progress in real-time.
New! EXP Shop
Each block you shatter garners you 1 EXP, which is stored as per Minecraft's default system, and is visible in your hotbar. This EXP can be used as a currency to purchase a variety of items such as autominer time, bombs, boosters, crate keys, and more.
Spend your hard-earned EXP at the /expshop to unlock exciting rewards.
New! Lucky Blocks
Lucky Blocks, represented by sponges within the mines, offer a surprise element. Each time you break a Lucky Block, you'll receive a random reward in your inventory. If your inventory is full at the time of the lucky break, don't worry - the rewards will be stored in your mail delivery. Rewards range from tokens to money, crate keys, and more.
New! Profile Menu
Introducing the revamped Player Profiles feature! Bid farewell to the old /stats menu and welcome a comprehensive player information hub on Prison.
With Player Profiles, you can view a plethora of statistics, including blocks broken, tokens earned, and more. What's more, these profiles can be filtered by weekly, lifetime, and monthly stats. To view your own profile or another player's, simply use the command /profile or /profile <playername>.
This is your opportunity to measure your performance against others and track your progress over time. So, get ready to explore the new Player Profiles and discover your standing in the Prison world!
Updated! Aesthetic Overhaul
We've embraced the mantra of change for growth, evolving the Snapcraft style and ensuring our prison game keeps pace. This season, we've implemented a significant aesthetic overhaul for the prison. Here's what we've updated:
- Help Commands: A new /help command for new and veteran players, giving easy access to new features.
- In-depth Help Commands: Added detailed help commands for specific features to facilitate better understanding and usage.

I know this must be a disappointing revelation for a lot of you, but think about the exciting new changes, the new alliances you can forge, the new map, the new features, and updates the different kinds of gameplay and style being provided with this update will surely make it a worth-while and exciting reset!
