About Dank Prison

Dank Prison turns the classic rank-up prison loop into a long-term progression game. You mine public and private mines, sell blocks, improve a pickaxe with Spiral and other custom enchants, then turn your drops into crates, keys, tokens, gear, and more upgrades. Mines reset only when you choose, so progress is built around improving your setup instead of waiting for a wipe.

The mining grind connects to fishing, pets, artifacts, relics, awakenings, Autominer, special mines, mini-games, and server-wide booster goals. Gangs add shared bonuses and PvP objectives through outposts and Convoys, giving advanced players reasons to work together and compete.

What Makes It Different

Dank Prison does not reset your main progress. Its central loop is built around Spiral, which lets one pickaxe swing break more blocks as it levels up, creating more money, crates, keys, tokens, and rewards at the same time.

The server also forbids free item boosting between players. Each player has to earn their own progress, even when working with a gang.

Dank Prison Gameplay

Start by mining in rank-based areas and private mines. Sell mined blocks for money, rank up, and use the rewards from mining to improve your pickaxe and other systems.

Mining can produce crates, keys, artifacts, gems, boosters, pets, event crates, and fishing-related items. You can manually reset a mine with /rm when the timing is right, rather than waiting for an automatic reset.

History of Dank Prison

Dank Prison lists January 1, 2018 as its opening date and credits Dank420Girl as its creator and owner. It was built as a custom-coded Prison server rather than a simple collection of downloaded plugins.

A formal release history begins with version 1.0.0 on November 10, 2020. The early releases were grouped into named eras such as The Dank Beginning, The Next Chapter, The Dank TakeOver, and The Dank Redefinition.

During 2021 and 2022, the server expanded through frequent releases covering its mining systems, gangs, PvP features, custom items, fishing, pets, and progression tools. The 1.5.5 release on October 16, 2022 added Bedrock support through the same network address with a separate Bedrock port.

The 1.7.0 release on March 20, 2024 made a private mine part of every new player's journey. Private mining became one of the server's defining ways to control the pace of progression and improve mining efficiency.

Version 1.8.0, released September 4, 2024, marked the Folia upgrade. Later 1.8 releases continued refining the network while preserving the long-running Prison progression instead of replacing it with a seasonal reset.

The server moved into its 10.x release series with version 10.0 on June 25, 2025. Releases through 10.1 added further systems and adjustments while continuing the server's custom-code approach.

Version 10.2 began on January 7, 2026, followed by the 10.3 series in March. The 10.3 updates included a fallback connection system for returning players during Minecraft authentication outages and further Bedrock compatibility fixes.

The 10.4 series began on April 13, 2026. Its updates refined voting rewards and changed private-mine cooldowns to scale with the number of private mines and available reductions. Dank Prison now remains a persistent, heavily customized Prison network with Java and Bedrock access, deep pickaxe progression, group PvP, and a large collection of connected side systems.
