Prison menus gather the gamemode's systems in one place: the Prison hub, your personal Menu, the How Prison Works guide, the Prison Progression Guide for new players and the Your Stats screen. A separate command, /stats, prints your main numbers to chat.

|---|---|---|
| Prison | /prison | A button for every Prison system |
| Menu | /prisonmenu (alias /pmenu), or the nether star in your hotbar | Your personal features and your stats |
| How Prison Works | /prison help (aliases /prisonhelp, /phelp) | A short explanation of each system |
| Prison Progression Guide | /guide (alias /help2) | The first steps for a new player, in order |
| Your Stats | Click your head in the personal menu | Your enchant levels and reward multipliers |
The Prison hub#
/prison opens the Prison menu, a hub with a button for each system. Every button runs the command shown under it, as if you had typed it.

| Warps | The warp list (/warps) |

Your personal menu#
/prisonmenu (alias /pmenu) opens your personal Menu. You also carry it as a nether star named Menu (Right-Click) in your last hotbar slot. Clicking the star, or trying to drop it, opens the menu; the star cannot be moved out of your inventory or dropped.
Each button closes the menu and runs a command for you.

How Prison Works#
/prison help (also /prisonhelp and /phelp) opens How Prison Works, a read-only screen with one book per system: Mining, Backpack and Selling, Ranking Up, Your Mine, Your Plot, Your Pickaxe, Mining Robot, Tokens and Beacons, Gangs, Quests and Achievements, and Rollcall. Hover over a book to read a short summary of that system and the commands it uses. The How Prison Works button at the bottom of the hub opens the same screen.
The progression guide#
/guide (also /help2) opens the Prison Progression Guide, which lists the first steps of Prison in the order to do them. It opens by itself the first time you join Prison. Most tiles are buttons: clicking one closes the guide and runs the command shown for it as you, so you see the same replies as if you had typed it.
| Tile | Runs | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Your First 30 Minutes | Nothing | The order in five lines: go to your mine and fill your backpack, sell blocks and rank up repeatedly, upgrade your pickaxe and backpack, complete quests and fill player orders, create or join a gang when ready |
| 1. Go to Your Mine | /mine go | Mine blocks to fill your backpack. Mentions /mine sethome for choosing where you arrive |
| 2. Sell & Rank Up | Nothing | Sell your backpack for money, then use /rankup or /maxrankup. Mentions /autorankup as an option |
| 3. Upgrade Your Pickaxe | /pickaxe | Spend earned currencies on enchants for mining speed, income and special block effects. Hold your pickaxe when you click |
| 4. Upgrade Your Backpack | /backpack | Opens the backpack menu |
| 5. Follow Quests | /prisonquests | Daily, weekly and monthly quests rotate in and pay out when you finish them |
| 6. Earn Gems Without Paying | /orders | Fill requests from other players in orders, or list valuable items for gems on the auction house. Daily voting also gives free rewards |
| Gangs | /gang | Create or join a gang, mine beacons for gang value and compete on the gang leaderboard |
| Warps & Dungeons | /warps | Use the server warps to find crates, dungeons and other progression areas outside your mine |
| Free Rewards | /kits | Claim available kits and use /vote daily for free rewards |

The stats screen#
Hover over your head in the personal menu for a short summary: your Fortune and Token Finder levels (or "No pickaxe in your inventory." / "No enchants yet.") and your Money and Tokens multipliers. Click the head for the full Your Stats screen, which has one tile for:
- Fortune and Token Finder, if your pickaxe has them: the total level, split into the pickaxe's own level and any bonus levels from gear, with what the enchant does at that level;
- each reward multiplier (Money, Tokens and Beacons), shown as a total such as "Money multiplier x2.40", with the bonus from your active effects and your booster: "Booster: +100% (1h 20m left)", or "Booster: none active".
The Back arrow returns to the personal menu. For how multipliers combine, see Income Multipliers.
Your statistics in chat#
/stats prints a short summary to chat under the heading Your Statistics:
| Line | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blocks Broken | Blocks you have broken in total. From 1,000 upward the number is shortened, for example 1.23k or 4.56M |
| Kills | Your kill count |
| Money | Your money balance |
| Tokens | Your token balance |
| Level | Your rank, which is the level of your mine |
| Prestige | Your prestige |
| Playtime | How long you have played |
The same balances are always visible on the sidebar; see Prison Scoreboard. For what you earned in the last minute, see Mining Summary.
Tips#
- If you forget a command,
/prisonlists every system with the command it runs. - Open the stats screen to check that your booster is running and how long it has left.
- The guide's text tiles, Your First 30 Minutes and 2. Sell & Rank Up, do nothing when clicked. Getting Started with Prison explains the same path in full.
- Which messages and effects you see while playing is set in Prison Options.
