Courts, prisons, and sentences

Build and register a prison

Prisons are built by players. The mod does not generate buildings or fill them with resources.

An authorised administrator places a Prison Control or Reinforced Lock and uses the Prison Surveyor to select two corners of the outer region. Sneak-right-click safe ground outside the prison to mark the release point, then register the prison in the control book.

Select each cell’s corners inside the prison and mark a safe arrival point. Register the cell and choose capacity from 1 to 16 players. Keep selections, arrivals, and exits in the same dimension, with space for a standing player.

Judicial authority

With Council installed, the current elected and sworn President handles supported court cases, evidence, hearings, decisions, and warrants. Ending the mandate removes those powers.

Without Council, emergency judicial authority belongs to administrators. Emergency interventions are identified in the history.

Warrants and detention

Handcuffs require a valid warrant for a single temporary detention. Consult the court’s physical interfaces for the case and authorised actions. Holding the tool alone is not unrestricted arrest permission.

Serve and consult a sentence

Sentence time counts while the prisoner is online. Interacting with the control or lock shows the original term, time served, and remaining time. Automatic release uses the recorded safe exit.

Community work

The prison must have registered, validated work zones and actual finite resources.

1. Accept a task from the prison’s Work Board.
2. Receive the Sealed Work Bag and complete the actions in the specified zone.
3. For production, remain near the workstation for each timed batch. Follow the specified stations for transport tasks.
4. Bring the completed bag to the Delivery Box in the same zone.

Imported or creative materials do not count. The default reduction limit is 50% of the original sentence, and normal online sentence time keeps running while you work.

Fines, bail, and records

The public Record Book exposes final decisions. Confirmed payments use persistent receipts; compatible Treasury installations can receive judicial revenue. Origins enables supported digital-wallet payments, while the standalone path uses physical emeralds.
