Description
Jail Mod (Fabric)
The Jail Mod is a server-side mod that allows you to imprison players in a virtual prison, preventing them from interacting with the world until they are released. It is perfect for Minecraft servers where you want to impose temporary penalties or temporarily limit the movement of certain players.
Key Features
- Temporary Imprisonment: You can imprison a player for a specific amount of time, blocking interactions with blocks, entities, and objects, such as buckets of lava or water.
- Automatic or Manual Release: The player is automatically released after the set time, or an admin can release them manually.
- Imprisonment Reason: When you imprison a player, you can specify a reason that will be communicated to the player.
- Command to know the remaining time: Imprisoned players can check the time remaining until their release.
How to use:
Build a prison (a closed structure).
Set the coordinates where you want the prisoner to spawn with the command
/jail set x y z(example/jail set 0 60 0)Reload the configuration using
/jail reload.Send someone to jail with
/jail playerexample 120 Griefing.If you don't want to wait for the prison time you set in seconds (example 120 seconds), you can release the player early with the command
/unjail playerexample
