Minecraft Prison Servers

What is a Minecraft prison server?

A ladder dressed as a jail. You start in mine A with a wooden pickaxe, mine the block it gives you, sell it, and buy your way into mine B — and so on through the alphabet, each mine holding a more valuable block than the last. The whole game is that loop, tuned.

Enchantment systems that make the pickaxe do absurd things by rank Z, plus a plot area for the money you accumulate and usually a PvP mine for the players who want the loop interrupted. Progression is deliberately slow at the top ranks, which is where most servers put their store.
