This plugins adds Jail to your Minecraft server. Admins can define several jails and then jail/unjail people, can be on a time basis. This plugin also offers wide variety of protections, this way players won't escape out of jail.

If you would like to help translate this project, please shoot me an email graywolf336@craftyn.com and let me know which language(s) you would like to contribute to and I will add you.

If you want to make some changes, build, and run the unit tests you will notice we require CraftBukkit 1.8 with maven and it isn't hosted anywhere publicly for legal reasons. You will need to build CraftBukkit 1.8 yourself and then put it locally for maven with the following command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=craftbukkit-1.9-R0.1.jar -DgroupId=org.bukkit -DartifactId=craftbukkit -Dversion=1.9-R0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar
