What this page proves

Each entry below shows the address we checked, the latest successful status timestamp, whether its player count covers one server or a whole network, the advertised Minecraft version and the Bedrock-port result. These are measurements. The final ranking remains an editorial judgement based on the testing process in our methodology.

#1 TalonMC

  • Address checked: play.talonmc.net
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 1,898 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-1.21.10
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: Custom-coded rather than a stock prison plugin: you rank up through mines with /mine goto, mine Tokens, and spend them on OP enchants including Jackhammer for.

#2 JartexNetwork

  • Address checked: play.jartexnetwork.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 1,202 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: Jartex documents its prison mode on its own wiki rather than leaving you to guess: public mines, a personal cell to build in, gangs with missions and an outpost to capture.

#3 Minecraft Central

  • Address checked: play.mccentral.org
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 1,045 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: Minecraft Central is a long-running multi-gamemode network whose own server message was advertising a fresh prison reset when we last pinged it, which means the mode is.

#4 Complex Gaming

  • Address checked: play.mc-complex.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 1,326 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: One of the longest-running modded networks in Minecraft, with prison as one lane of a very wide lineup.

#5 ManaCube

  • Address checked: play.manacube.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 1,364 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: ManaCube lists prison directly in its own server message, next to survival, parkour, earth, PvP, skyblock and creative, so the mode is one lane of a genuinely broad network.

#6 ExtremeCraft

  • Address checked: extremecraft.net
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 917 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: No verified Bedrock response
  • Review basis: A long-established network that runs prison alongside survival and a custom item economy, and the highest-placed entry here in TopG's prison category.

#7 OPBlocks

  • Address checked: play.opblocks.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 729 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-26.2
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: OPBlocks names prison in its own server message and had just launched prison season 34 when we pinged it, so seasonal resets are the rhythm here rather than one permanent.

#8 Purple Prison

  • Address checked: purpleprison.net
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 582 online now. Dedicated server count.
  • Version: Minecraft Paper 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.9.x, 1.10.x, 1.11.x, 1.12.x, 1.13.x, 1.14.x, 1.15.x, 1.16.x, 1.17.x, 1.18.x, 1.19.x, 1.20.x, 1.21.x
  • Bedrock: Port 19132 answered during verification
  • Review basis: Purple Prison is a prison-only server rather than a network lane, which is why its player count is entirely prison players and not a network total.

#9 CosmicPrisons

  • Address checked: play.cosmicprisons.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 347 online now. Dedicated server count.
  • Version: Minecraft Cosmic Games
  • Bedrock: No verified Bedrock response
  • Review basis: CosmicPrisons is the other prison-only entry here, and its server message was advertising Version 6.0 Celestial with major changes when we pinged it.

#10 SaiCoPvP

  • Address checked: saicopvp.com
  • Latest successful check: 2026-09-03 16:09 UTC
  • Player count: 162 online now. Network-wide across all gamemodes.
  • Version: Minecraft Velocity 1.7.2-1.21.11
  • Bedrock: No verified Bedrock response
  • Review basis: SaiCoPvP runs its gamemodes as separate realms and had just reset all of them when we pinged it, so every mode including prison was starting fresh.
