Hey guys, i'm in need of help. This thread is mainly for the plugin experts who have a wide knowledge of plugins and know what plugins would be good for a prison server.

Can you guys tell me what plugins are "essential" in a good prison server?

(I saw a really good prison server where you start of with a op pickaxe and it shows how many blocks you've broken in the name of the pickaxe as you break them, do any of you know what that is? Or is it a custom plugin?)

I have Prison 2 installed already, what else would we need?
 
PebbleHost
High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

MRL, EzRanksLite (If Prison2 Doesnt cover that already) ClearLag, CreateKit (Make kits in game :p) World guard, Any type of pvp plugin that disables commands (CombatTag is a good one). Just search around, there is a lot you can get, and may people have their own personal preferences of plugins. :p

If you are looking for good paid ones.... CrateReloaded (free version but the paid version has support etc) EZRanksPro (no more ezrankslite) PrisonMines, VoteParty, ClearLag (free), AutoSell, InventoryFull (free) , Gangs+ (Possibly?), DeluxeChat (cos it makes chat look neat), FeatherBoard, EZPrestige (free), TitleManager (free), EZBlocks (for blocks on pickaxe also free) and ChatReaction (free and to have players compete in chat a little). Ofcourse the other things is PermissionsEx/GroupManager, WorldGuard and WorldEdit, GAListener and Votifier for voting, Buycraft for donations, Vault for economy, Essentials, an AutoBroadcast plugin and possibly citizens for npc right click shop combined with commandnpc which you can find on bukkit.

EZRanksLite got removed from spigot and if your server is 1.9 it should break. The author, Ryan/clip has made a new resource called EZRanksPro which gets updated and you will also receive support for. It also has a few extra features. Also, I updated the list to have a few more common things in it you might need.

Nope, He doesn't "Quit" his good plugins, and EzRanksLite is EXTREMELY good, and one of the if not the first Prison RankupPlugin out there that really worked well, that is/was a resource on Spigot.

You kinda need the autosell plugin to sell your items, you can get autosell, just don't enable it or give perms for it.
