Creating Your First Jail (Setup Guide)

Setting up a secure jail is simple. Follow these steps:

  1. Select the Area: Use /djail wand to get the selection tool (a golden axe). Select the two corners of your prison area with left and right clicks, just like with WorldEdit.
  2. Name the Physical Area: After selecting the region, assign a name to it using the command: /djail set flag <area_name>.
  3. Set the Jail's Spawnpoint: Stand in the exact spot where you want prisoners to teleport to when they are jailed. The command will save your position and the direction you are looking. Use: /djail set jail <jail_name>.
  4. Link Area and Jail: To activate the anti-escape system (anti-noclip), you must link the physical area to the jail's spawnpoint. Use: /djail link <jail_name> <area_name>. You can use the TAB key to help autocomplete the names.
  5. Set the Release Spawnpoint: Go to the location where players should be teleported after their sentence ends and use the command: /djail setspawn.
