Best Permanent Minecraft Servers

We are LockedMC, a prison server with all the necessary fundamentals with more flavour on top.
We try to combine two different audiences in one server, with the fundamentals that make OP Prisons ever so addicting, flavoured with a focus on social interaction and community building. One could compare it to someone taking the best parts of an OP Prison server and a PvP Factions server, and combining them into a wonderchild.
That wonderchild is LockedMC.

A classic grinding experience

Do you like grinding your way to the top rank with mining? Perfectly possible!
Do you want to do something else than mining? No problem!
We offer a complex system to make money, with hidden recipes that when found can be used to deal things to other prisoners. Items are actually useful too, with effects like mining boosts, pvp advantages or XP boosts – or some just offer a trip with fun effects. You can also mine with your shovel, since Dirt and Gravel have a chance of dropping rarer blocks than any regular mine. .

The premise is simple: It’s just as addicting as OP Prison with practically the same grind format, but it offers a lot more diversity and different ways to effectively make money.

Focus on PvP

Grinding is cool, and everyone should be able to enjoy it in their own time – but PvP used to also be a vital part of most prison servers. We’re looking to bring this back by offering high incentive to PvP other players, getting shanked in prison is just daily business after all. For Season 1 we’ll be supporting a full 1.8 PvP system – with a grind implemented to get some of those famous “god apples”. Changes to PvP come with every season, with these changes we listen to our community and change things according to their preference. (Future ideas would be bed pvp, crystal pvp, totems, 1.9+ pvp)

PvP needs to be enjoyable, not frustrating, and players need incentive to do it.
Participating – but most importantly winning – in PvP nets unique rewards that can not be obtained elsewhere.
We boast 3 PvP zones, each with their own incentive – KOTH, Envoys & Black Market – and a Gangs feature to allow players to team up and take those rewards in a group.

Social Endgame

What people want most is to “be better” than someone else. Have the most money, have the most power, social status is the most satisfying endgame for every player in Minecraft.
We made it a feature, by focussing on social engineering as a ways of obtaining more power in Prison.

First of are Guards and Wardens, they are players who’ve applied for those roles.
They play the game just like you – but instead of being in Gangs they simply consider themselves the authority in Prison.
Are you the kind of person who wants power without working for it? That’s exactly what Guards are and do, welcome to the team! Don’t like that? Work hard to change things, and eventually you’ll amass way more power by taking control of Prison as a Gang.

Guards patrol around looking for Contraband – if they catch you, you’ll have to drop it or face time in Solitary.
Had it with those pesky Guards? Time to group up with a few inmates and try to kill one in the yard.
They’ll drop a unique set of powerful armour if you succeed, but it won’t be easy.

For players who don’t join the authority (Guards & Wardens) – endgame is all about our Gangs feature.
Anyone can be recruited by a Gang for protection, but only people with max rank can be in the upper ranks of Gangs and create them. Gangs offer many gameplay features – from PvP to Headquarters – but in the end it’s all about getting more influence and taking over Prison with your Gang.
