Prison Pearl

Description

PrisonPearl allows players to imprison and control other players through the use of ender pearls. If you kill a player with an ender pearl in your possession, the pearl is converted to a prison pearl, and the player is imprisoned in the end. You must then secure the pearl from anyone who might wish to free the evildoer. You can also elect to use your prisoner as slave, by holding his pearl and summoning him from the end. He is bound to the pearl, and will die and return to the end if he attempts to flee.

Imprisoning

Players are imprisoned when they die and have taken sufficient (configurable) damage from a player who has one or more ender pearls placed in his hotbar. The person who dealt the most damage to the player gets one pearl converted into a prison pearl. If a player stops taking damage for a configurable a period of time, his damage log is reset and he will not be imprisoned if he dies.

Securing pearls

A pearl is only secure when placed in an inventory block, such as a chest or dispenser. A prison pearl in a players inventory will be freed if that player logs out. A prison pearl left on the ground will be freed if it despawns, or if the chunk containing it is unloaded. A burned or laved prison pearl will also be freed. Also Pearls will need to be stored with the food item the admins have selected for the server. You will have to place the food item in the chest along with the pearls.

Freeing players

To free a player, simply throw his prison pearl, or use the ppfree command with the pearl in your inventory. If the player is online and free_tppearl is set to true, the player will be teleported to your location. If not, he will be respawned normally in the overworld.

Using slave labor

Use the ppsummon command with a pearl in your inventory to summon that player back to the real world. This player can do anything as he pleases, but if he travels a configurable distance from the pearl he will begin to take damage. You can place the pearl in the chest if you think it is secure enough to prevent the prisoner from freeing himself. If he dies for any reason, he will be respawned in the end. You can reward your slave by using the ppreturn command, which sends him back to the end where he was with his inventory intact. A bad slave can instead be punished by using the ppkill command, which will put him back at the end spawn with no inventory.

Be careful not to allow your slaves to come in to contact with other people, because they could be stolen! Simply re-imprison an enslaved player to obtain their prison pearl, and use them for your own needs or free them on the spot.

Rescue missions

An imprisoned player can at any time locate his pearl with the pplocate command. Any interested parties can then attempt to break in to the pearls storage location to free it.
