Server info.

BookedMC is a non OP prison server. You start in Intake and earn your way up to Freeman.

Start here

Do the Intake tutorial first. It gets you through mining, woodcutting, farming, fishing and smelting, so you know where to get started.

Miner is your first main rank. From there, new ranks open more of the prison and the work you can do.

Use the main Pod Officer for the server menu. The Intake NPC handles the tutorial.

More of the prison opens as you rank up.

Rankups use cash. Notorious is the optional prestige step after Freeman.

Cash and REP

Cash
Earn it from selling resources and the work you do. It pays for rankups, cell rent and shop purchases.
REP
Earn it from specialization tiers and server activities. Spend it on permanent perks. It doesn’t buy ordinary ranks.

XP and tiers

Ward XP goes toward specialization tiers. Each activity has its own progress, so working on mining doesn’t fill the industrial track.

/wards shows your ward progress.

Your cell

Rent a cell for storage and machines. /cell opens its dashboard.

Keep the rent paid

Use /cell renew before it expires. An unpaid cell can be evicted and reset.

Decide who gets access

You can share a cell without giving every person full control. Entry, building, containers and machine use are separate permissions. Set them through the members controls.

Machines need power

Machines go inside your cell and use cell power. If power is empty, they stop working.

PvP and Outlands

Inside the prison

The prison has safe areas and PvP areas. Watch the hotbar highlight when you move between them.

Gold Safe area
Red PvP area

Outlands

Freeman opens the Outlands. This is the PvP area outside the prison, where gang bases come into play.

Gangs and control points

Gangs compete for control points. Holding one gives temporary boosts and shop tax in its rank area. Boss is the rank that lets you start your own gang.
