Minecraft Prison Server List for 2026
A server list worth the name has to say when it last checked. Every entry here carries the age of its reading, and when our pinger goes quiet the site says so rather than showing you a stale number dressed up as live.
The whole thing is available as JSON under CC BY 4.0 if you would rather build on it than read it.
10 servers on our list
-
#1 TalonMC Our #1
Custom-coded rather than a stock prison plugin: you rank up through mines with <code>/mine goto</code>, mine Tokens, and spend them on OP enchants including Jackhammer for.

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.
play.jartexnetwork.comOP Prison · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 991 online (network-wide)
-
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.
play.mccentral.orgClassic Prison · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 1,176 online (network-wide)
-
One of the longest-running modded networks in Minecraft, with prison as one lane of a very wide lineup.

-
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.
play.manacube.comClassic Prison · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 1,392 online (network-wide)
-
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.
extremecraft.netPrison · Minecraft 1.7.2 - 26.2 · Bedrock: No · 925 online (network-wide)
-
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.
play.opblocks.comOP Prison · Minecraft 1.8 - 26.2 · Bedrock: Yes · 995 online (network-wide)
-
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.
purpleprison.netClassic Prison · Minecraft 1.7 - 1.21 · Bedrock: Yes · 648 online
-
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.
play.cosmicprisons.comOP Prison · Minecraft 1.21.11 · Bedrock: No · 165 online
-
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.
