Gangs

Gangs are Prison teams that share chat, ranks, mine access and perks, and compete on a weekly leaderboard ranked by the beacons their members hold.

Gangs are the team system of Prison. A gang has its own chat channel, ranks with adjustable permissions, shared access to each other's mines, permanent and activatable perks, and a place on the weekly gang leaderboard. A gang never owns money or items: its strength is the total of the beacons that its members personally hold.

How gangs work#

  • Every player can be in one gang at a time. Create one with /gang create <name> or from the menu, then invite friends or open the gang to the public. See Creating and Joining a Gang.
  • A gang holds up to 6 members. If the gang owner has the Savage or Caveman rank, the gang can hold one extra member (7 in total).
  • Members have one of four ranks (Member, Officer, Co-owner, Owner). Each rank can be given or denied individual actions such as inviting, kicking and activating perks. See Gang Members and Roles.
  • Beacons are a currency that drops from rare beacon blocks in your mine. A gang's beacon total is the sum of its members' personal balances. That one number decides both the gang's leaderboard score and which perk levels the gang unlocks. See Gang Beacons.
  • Gang members can mine in each other's mines. See Mines for how mines work.
  • Gang perks boost the beacons, tokens and drops that every member earns while mining. See Gang Perks.
  • Every Wednesday at 20:00 the weekly leaderboard closes. The three gangs that grew their beacon total the most are paid in Gems. See Gang Leaderboard.
