The Pen is a classic prison server that is trying to bring back the older prison vibe before everything turned into super OP stuff. You start simple with leather and iron and you have to work your way up by crafting your own gear.
Diamond gear matters a lot here because you cannot upgrade it into netherite. That makes good tools and armor feel way more valuable and worth grinding for.
The rank path goes from A to H and each rank opens a new mine with different ores. There is also Parolee and Citizen so you can leave the prison and explore the free world and get shards for prestige.
Money is not just one boring method. You can make cash through mining and custom fishing and there is a mob arena that opens at the first prestige.
You can rent cells and plots to build whatever you want like farms storage or just something cool to show off. There are illegal items too like special crops plus weapons chainmail armor and potions. Guards can confiscate them or you might get PvP or sent to solitary.
Staff are part of the roleplay with Guards and Wardens keeping order. The server also listens to player suggestions and tries to build a close community.

This server is called The Pen and it is a classic style prison server that feels like old Minecraft. It does not have crazy overpowered enchants or instant sell stuff. You start with basic tools and you have to grind your way up.
You rank up through the prison from A all the way to Parolee and then Citizen. After you reach the top you can prestige for extra rewards. There are different ways to make money like mining and smelting ores, fishing with custom progression, growing illegal plants in your cell, and using player shops.
There are guards that protect new players and also enforce the prison rules. They watch for illegal things like pvp, swords, potions, bows, and illegal crops. If you break the rules in front of them they will go after you. There are multiple guard ranks like Guard, Senior Guard, Warden, and Senior Warden so it feels like real prison roleplay.
The prison has cells and plots you can rent for storage, farming, shops, or hiding contraband. There is an auction house for trading, bounties you can place on enemies, and parkour challenges around the prison. The economy is grindy and you have to travel through pvp zones to sell at the Commissary so it is risky and exciting.
If you want a simple prison server that feels like 2014 where grinding matters and the community can actually know each other this server fits that vibe.
