Method
We looked at what each server gives you once you join: how often new content lands, what there is to do after the first week, how much a free player gets, and whether Java and Bedrock can both play. Facts about other servers come from their own websites. This list is written by the OtterSMP team, so weigh our own #1 pick with that in mind.
The basics
A Minecraft prison server is a mining gamemode: you mine blocks, sell them for money and spend it on better pickaxes, enchants and ranks. OP Prison speeds that loop up with huge enchants, prestiges and rebirths.
