The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the older 2014 style. It is barebones and all about grinding instead of getting overpowered fast. There is no instasell so you have to work for your money.
Mining is the main grind where you smelt ores yourself and then you have to travel through PvP zones to sell. Ranking goes A to H then you can reach Parole.
After you rank up you can prestige and you are not forced into one path. You can keep mining or swap to custom fishing or fight in the mob arena with boss waves. There is also a cookie farming bakery system where you grow wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics and do long term cookie quests plus leaderboards.
There are guards that enforce contraband rules and illegal crops that are high risk and high reward. You can rent cells and plots use the auction house set bounties do parkour and run player shops. Premium stuff is not meant to be pay to win since it can also be earned through gameplay.
