You have been convicted. It doesn't matter how or why. You've been sentenced to life in the most notorious prison in the world- Bains Penitentiary. Your days will be spent working the mines and slowly wasting away... However, a new type of currency has been developed within the prison- Behavior Points. Every block you mine you may trade in for a certain amount of BP. Earn enough of this currency and you can buy many items, a prison plot, and even move up in rank to nicer sectors of the prison. Choose the right path, and you will move up in rank. Choose the dark one, and become notorious...

(Sorted from lowest to highest)

Solitary Confinement of Bains Penitentiary- Located deep underground. Only the worst prisoners will be sent here. Hard labor is done in the obsidian mines. This area is known for illegal activity, but due to the amount of violence Guards tend to avoid it. 1,000 BP is needed to rejoin society in C-Block.

(Default) (5k BP if moving up from D)

The default rank of convicts- The basic stone quarry and tree farm are available. Sell your loot in the block shops in order to gain BP. Blocks can also be sold in the Player Market, the free market of the prison. Crime and violence are frequent here, as it is the most populous sector.

(15k BP)

Your first taste of luxury- congratulations on your dedication. But it doesn't stop here. To continue progressing through the ranks, more BP is needed. Access to two new mines, the Sandstone Quarry and Dirt Yard, will make things easier. More protection is also gained- less pvp-enabled areas allow you to protect your loot. Rent a customizable cell for even more security.

(35k BP)

You're making great progress- you may find that ranking up is easier from here on out. Two of the fastest moneymakers as well as minimal PVP make this block a great reward. Risk your life in the Mob Farm, or rake in the BP in the Nether Mine. The Prisoner Conference area also resides here, where you may meet up with ex-convicts from the outside world.

(65k BP)

You've made it- how does it feel? You are now the highest rank of prisoners. With every sector at your fingertips, you are now free to manipulate the prison. Four new ways to earn BP, permanent cells, and complete non-pvp make this block the best in the prison. Dig in the luxurious Snow Mine, where you'll fill your inventory faster than you can believe. Take your pick to the Mossy Mine or Ender Mine, where you'll collect rare blocks while also making a large profit. Feeling hungry? Use the block's Pig Farm and use or sell the pork. Freedom is only one step away!

(100k BP)

Congratulations! After a dismal life behind bars, you've finally been set Free! But the fun doesn't stop here. You are now allowed to enter and exit the prison as you please. The Wilderness has no rules. (Besides server rules) Griefing, stealing, etc. are all allowed. However, prison rules must still be followed when inside the facility. You are also free to join the growing city of Omega, where you'll experience a multitude of fantastic perks. Mine at leisure in the NetherBrick Mine or StoneBrick Mine, the two most profitable mines on the server. Explore the Nether through the only portal on the server. Buy and sell at the Omega Market, which allows access to almost every block in the game. EXP potions and most other types of potions are also available for purchase.

PERKS SHOULD BE PUT RIGHT HERE

Convicted Donation Page

• Remember, donations are DONATIONS, not purchases. The perks that we give are simply to thank you for your generosity. Again, do not treat a donation as a purchase. If you feel like you wish to withdraw your donation, simply create a claim in PayPal's Resolution Center and we'll get it figured out.
• Breaking the rules and getting banned WILL NOT GUARANTEE A REFUND!
• If the server shuts down, we will refund those that have donated within a month.

"When I log in, I get a black screen and disconnect!"

This is common when loading large servers. Simply join a single player map, "save and quit," and rejoin Convicted. Using 64-bit Java seems to prevent this.

"There is too much chat spam!"

Set your GUI settings to "small." This will relieve a lot of the spam.

"OMG LAG!"

Though lag could be caused by the large amount of traffic we receive on a given day, it is most likely a problem on your end. Try running optifine and changing your graphic settings to the lowest possible for best performance. 64-bit Java is also recommended.

Official Signature: Use it to support the server!
