A new seasonal crate has been added again.
New! Prison Prestiges
We will be looking at the core of the Prison gamemode, the progression system.
The current A-Z ranks and prestiging system have been deemed ineffective and lack value. Therefore, we will be overhauling the ranking and prestiging system to bring balance and excitement to the game. Let's dive into the changes in prison ranks and prestige.
We took the time to take a step back, have a closer look at the gamemode, and came to some conclusions and steps we need to take in order to move forward in the right direction for prison.
Removing A-Z ranks
This change may seem unconventional, but it will ultimately benefit OpPrison. The current system of transitioning from letters to numbers in the ranks, with the letters having no additional value, doesn't make sense. The original purpose of grinding through the A-Z ranks was valid, but now it only showcases two different skill tiers. To simplify things, we have combined these tiers and renamed them as 'prestige,' as it is a familiar system.
As a result, all A-Z mines will be removed. Additionally, the cost of each prestige has been adjusted to accurately reflect the difficulty level, and beacons will still be required.
New prestige rewards
With this change, we also need to rebalance some of the rewards given with prestiging.
This is why we will be making the following changes to prestige rewards:
Sell multiplier: 0.05 per prestige.
Tokens reward: 2,000 tokens per prestige.
Crystals reward: 25 crystals per prestige.
Prestige Keys: Every 5 prestiges.
Prestige colors
Prestige colors are unlocked for all players and are automatically applied when you reach a certain prestige.
You will need a GodFather or Kingpin rank to select the colors that you desire.
New! Prestige Mines
With prestiging being the new way to rank up, we have added new mines to replace the former individual mines for each prestige.
Prestiges will now be grouped into sections, each with its own set of mines. The design of these mines has also been revamped to enhance the overall mining experience.
With the prestige system in place, we knew it was time to revamp the mines and their contents as well. Here is a list of all the new mines that you will find on our Prison server:
P0 Mine (Starter mine)
Coal ⤷ Sell 1 for $7,500 Coal Block ⤷ Sell 1 for $975,00 | P5 Mine

New! Chat Games
Get ready to put your vocabulary and math skills to the test with our newest addition to the Prison server.
Chat Games will now be running every 30 minutes and each win earns you a Chat Games Point which can be redeemed in the new /chatgames shop.
So, come on and give it a try! Show off your knowledge and get a fun boost in the process.
The Chat Games will consist of two exciting challenges: Unscramble and Math.
Unscramble
In the Unscramble game, players will need to unscramble a Minecraft-related word within 20 seconds.
Math
In the Math game, players will be given a mathematical equation to solve within 20 seconds.
The fastest player to correctly answer each game will win a Chat Games Point and earn their place on the leaderboard.
Don't let this opportunity slip by, test your skills and have a blast competing against other players!
New! Pet Skins
Want to give your pet a new look? With the addition of pet skins, you now have the option.
These skins can be earned in-game or purchased from the store or gold shop. Each season, new skins will be added and previous ones will become scarce, increasing their value over time. You can also trade your pet skins with others, making them a valuable commodity in the pursuit of becoming the top trader in Prison.
Note that these skins are purely cosmetic and will not affect your pet's abilities or strength.
Updated! Anti Cheat
After extensive testing, we are confident that this new anti-cheat is a huge improvement over its predecessor. With the updated system, you can expect a more fair and more enjoyable experience.
The anti-cheat will be working more effectively and efficiently, ensuring that all players are playing on an even field.
This means that cheating and exploiting will be a thing of the past, and you'll be able to enjoy the game as it is meant to be played.
Updated! Pickaxe Enchantments
As part of the ongoing effort to balance the game, we have adjusted the prices of most of our custom pickaxe enchantments. Furthermore, we will be removing and modifying some enchantments to bring fresh excitement to the game.
Enchantments that will be removed.
Let's get started with the enchantments that we have removed.
Speed - We have removed the speed enchantment to make place for more valuable enchantments, the speed effect can now be unlocked as a gang perk.
Haste - This enchantment has been removed as it does not add any extra value to the high-efficiency levels of your pickaxe.
Night Vision - This enchantment has been removed as it does not add any extra value since you get night vision everywhere.
Drill Hammer - The enchant is just not good enough compared to what other enchantments do, so we decided to remove it.
Enchantments that have received a buff
Token Greed - The Token Greed enchantment will now also affect tokens from Lucky Blocks.
Beacon Finder - Will now give 2 beacons every time instead of 1.
If you think that's all, then wait! There is much more! We will be adding 2 new enchantments.
The two new enchantments are:
Prestige Finder | Lucky |
---|---|
A small chance to find prestige cost and prestige vouchers. Max level: 2,500 | A chance to find lucky crates when mining. This is a new crate that contains a bunch of random rewards. You will earn two rewards per lucky crate. Max level: 100 |
These two new enchantments will cost crystals to upgrade rather than tokens, which adds some more variety to your saving up your currencies.
You might be thinking, Lucky? That enchantment already exists! Well, you're right but we felt like the current state of the Lucky Enchantment is bad and we gave it a brand new change. On top of that, both of these rewards will go into your mail delivery rather than the previous logic of obtaining them when you sold your items.
Updated! Enchantment Prices
Earlier, we mentioned our efforts to balance and improve the overall gameplay experience. As part of that, we have revised the costs of pickaxe enchantments. Let's take a look at the modified prices. We noticed that the token output has become higher and higher each season, and with the changes to token greed and crates, we know it's about time to take a look at the pickaxe enchantments once again and rebalance some of the prices of these enchantments.
The most popular enchantments have received either an increase or a small decrease in price, depending on the strength of the enchantment, with this change we feel like we can properly scale out your progression in a more even way rather than skyrocketing at the start.
Here is an overview of all the new enchantment prices:
Soul Luck | Soul Amplifier | Soul Crystal | Explosive |
---|---|---|---|
1 - 25 = 1,000 Soul Gems | 1 - 25 = 1,000 Soul Gems | 1 - 5 = 500 Soul Gems | 1 - 500 = 50 Tokens 501 - 1000 = 100 Tokens 1001 - 1500 = 150 Tokens 1501 - 2000 = 200 Tokens 2001 - 2500 = 500 Tokens 2501 - 3000 = 1,500 Tokens 3001 - 3500 = 2,500 Tokens 3501 - 4000 = 5,000 Tokens 4001 - 4500 = 10,000 Tokens 4501 - 5000 = 20,000 Tokens |

Updated! Pickaxe Prestige
Finally, we have also reviewed pickaxe prestige. Our original goal was to slow down progress, but this resulted in a bigger gap between players and a lack of interest in prestiging pickaxe.
With the rebalancing of enchantment prices, we have decided to remove the feature of losing all enchantments upon prestiging. Pickaxe prestiging will still be required, but it will no longer strip your enchantments.
With the introduction of Pickaxe Orbs, we have decided to lock these slots until you reach a certain pickaxe prestige.
We will also be reintroducing pickaxe prestige 4 and making enchantments accessible based on your pickaxe prestige instead of your overall prestige rank.
This means you will now have the following pickaxe prestiges:
Prestige I | Prestige II | Prestige III | Prestige IV |
---|---|---|---|
Cost:
Unlocks:
| Cost:

Updated! Private Mines
The Private Mines have been a staple in Prison for a while, so we are making some important updates. To start, we will no longer allow boosters to impact the tax on claims.
This may come as a disappointment for players who frequently use Private Mines, but with the addition of beacons and upgradeable lucky blocks, we believe that these mines have enough value on their own. Allowing boosters to impact taxes has caused significant inflation in the economy and made the rich even richer. With these changes, we aim to regulate the growth of the economy and create a level playing field for all players.
Private Mine Size
Next to the change of taxes and boosters, we will also be introducing the ability to upgrade your private mine size. Private mines will now come in 3 sizes, Small, Medium, and Large.
You can unlock the Small private mine, simply by purchasing the private mine package in our store, or in the gold shop.
Once you own a Private Mine you will be able to purchase upgrade tokens for your mine within the Gold Shop. You can choose to upgrade to a medium or a large mine. Once you have obtained this token you will be able to use it on one of your Private Mines. Once the token has been used your mine size will be upgraded.
Misc. Updates & Changes
Multiple small changes have been made, some of these small changes are the following:
Updated Anticheat.
Updated payouts menu.
Made pets invisible in PVP.
Updated crate keys rewards.
Nerfed Gladiator pet damage output.
Added soul enchantments in the pickaxe enchanting menu.
Removed laser from auto miner enchantment
Set up all new mines for prestiges.
Small overhaul of /mines menu.
Updated holograms plugin for better performance.
Donator mines now have a small extra sell multiplier, the higher the rank the better.
and much more!
