I never played prison so I am not an expert. I am trying my best to make a good prison server even with my lack of knowledge of prison servers. I don't know what to do about guards. Can a prison server even be without guards? I watched some videos on youtube. . I am really concerned because guards seem to only do one thing: punish people. Like I don't understand why anyone would want a player to run around and inflict punishment and jail time and to just generally make everyone's gameplay experience worse. This goes for legit guards that do their job. What happens if someone becomes a guard and starts jailing everyone and attacking everyone? Lol what a nightmare. Maybe you guys know something about this topic that I don't. So please share your knowledge. As for having warzones mixed in with safezones and incentives to enter them; Maybe we can have areas in prison where there are cubes of diamond ores and emerald ores in designated areas. Kind of like above ground mines that look like squares. People can choose to grab a pickaxe and just rush into the warzone sprint from safezone to safezone mining very valuable materials.
Guards basically send people to spawn/jail (if jail for like 1 min) if they hold a sword in their hand and the guard sees it. I think all mods should be guards and you should chose players whom you feel wouldn't abuse the power
Guards are like Moderators many servers call them Guards to fit in with the theme of a prison. Guard as in like prison guard that keep all the in mates in check Other servers also use Guard as a donor rank (dropping all the Moderator powers of course) and just have Mods
Don't add them, servers with guards tend to have players arguing a lot about guards saying that they are abusing (which most of them do). Most successful prison servers don't have guards so I don't see why sc would have a need for them. Plus guards ruin the fun in pvping on prison, you so much as breath on someone and your in jail for 5 min (not literally but you get the point... Players will get jailed for stupid reasons).
Why not add a mine in jail so people would not be mad about being jailed, and you could like buy bail? If guard is added, that is.
Surge I have played prison a few times, if you need tips I can give you some ideas.(I also can give plugin ideas)
Guards wander around spawn, mines and PVP areas looking around. If they see someone with a 'contraband' item such as a sword, or some other items that Surge could come up with. They jail that player for 1 minute as a funny punishment for owning illegal items. This gives the player a fun experience of being sneaky and playing to keep their stuff and not let the guards see them with it. Also, this could incourage some form of 'black market' where only certain people know of and is hidden in the spawn. Here players could trade the contraband items and make a fun sort of gameplay.
I really don't think this prison server needs gaurds. I used to be a huge prison addict and most of the prison servers I played on we're not "Op prison". The reason why I think this server doesn't need guards you can get really good gear witch literally makes you not able to kill and people could just PvP with axes. Remember this is just my opinion -Diamond
I would put Gaurd as a donor rank It really matches the theme of prison Let's = let us For example "Let's go to the mall" Lets = to allow For example "My mom lets us use the car"
Well, with people like Thundergun who spend sooooo much money on Minecraft, I can see someone like momochase buy the rank "guard" and abuse the hell put of it ;p
A good thing to add would be to let people buy stuff from other people on their plots when they click on the chests
