This simple jail plugin aims to be very lightweight and easy to use. It allows players with proper permissions to jail other players, unjail them and check if they are jailed (also shows information). There is also a whitelist to allow only certain commands while in jail. All messages are configurable! It does support UUID's. It should support /reload, but full restart is preferable.

This plugin requires Java 8 and Spigot/Bukkit 1.8-1.12 for versions below 2.2 or 1.16 for 2.2+.

Just install the plugin as usual and let it generate the config file. Configuration options are explained below, under "Sample config". After that you need to build an unbreakable prison cell, because this plugin does not include block protection (players can break their way out of the prison, if there's no plugin or bedrock to stop them). Also you need to set jail and unjail positions with respective commands.

• /jail <player> <time (#mon|#d|#h|#m)> <reason>
  • simplejail.jail (OP)
    
  • /jail Prunt 7d2h Griefing is not allowed!
  • Jails specified player for a specified time with a specified reason. Teleports them to the specified jail point. You can combine different time formats (e.g. 1mon2h).

• /unjail <player>
  • simplejail.unjail (OP)
    
  • /unjail Prunt
  • Sets player free if they were in jail. Teleports them to specified unjail point.

• /checkjail <player>
  • simplejail.checkjail (OP)
    
  • /checkjail Prunt
  • Checks whether or not specified player is jailed or not. If is, then shows info about them.

• /setjail
  • simplejail.setjail (OP)
  • Sets the point where player is teleported when they're jailed. Protect it with another plugin or build it from bedrock so jailed players couldn't break their way free.

• /setunjail
  • simplejail.setunjail (OP)
  • Sets the point where player is teleported when they're released from jail. It could be, for example, server spawn or outside of prison.

• /simplejail
  • simplejail.reload (OP)
    
  • Reloads the config file.
