Jail Logic
by n3mmuss
Jail Logic lets server operators confine a player to a virtual prison, where interactions with blocks, entities and items are blocked until the sentence ends.
What it does
A jailed player is held in a closed structure built at coordinates set with a command. Operators send a player to jail with a reason that is shown to that player, and the imprisoned player can check the time left until release. While jailed, a player cannot break or place blocks, use objects such as buckets, or interact with entities. Release happens automatically after the set time, or an administrator can release the player by hand.
The mod is built for Minecraft servers that want temporary penalties, such as limiting movement after griefing. Its messages and the location where released players appear are stored in a configuration file that is generated automatically, with default messages that can be changed to suit a server's tone and style. The configuration can be reloaded with a command without restarting the server.
Jail Logic is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21 and 1.21.1 and 1.5 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. It needs Fabric API on the server. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Configurable prison location
