There are many Minecraft servers out there, and it can be hard for players to find one that suits their needs.

Many developers use plugins to build code and plug it into their servers. Plugins are more constrained in what they can achieve because, unlike mods, they do not alter the game itself.

PurplePrison is a Minecraft prison server with a twist. It has been around since 2014, and over one million players have joined it.

PurplePrison is an OP prison server with a ton of features based on normal Minecraft, so it doesn't take away too much from the original game.

Players start as a "New Inmate." They have to rank up and dominate the prison. They can accomplish this by using features such as the server’s black market and a huge Discord server boasting over 70,000 members to trade information and items with.

PurplePrison has a ton of amazing plugins that add features like the ability to gamble with other players via a coinflip system. Players can also go to the plot world on the server with the command "plot auto" and make their own builds.

Another huge feature of the server is its PvP, which focuses on the normal 1.8 combat system. The best weapon is an item called an Omega Axe, which has 85 Sharpness.

Players are constantly fighting on this server. With the ability to form gangs, they can even start gang wars.
