The Pen MC Old School Prison Grind

You can keep doing classic mining or switch it up with custom fishing or a mob arena with waves and bosses.

This server also has guards that enforce contraband rules and there are illegal crops that are high risk and high reward. You can rent cells and plots and use auction house and player shops.
