Hi I have a fairly new minecraft server and I have a question about /jail. I was a moderator on a server and i created the jail cells so i could do /jail and then it tp's the player to the jail but I forgot how to do that. So do I have to create warps like warp cell 1 warp cell 2 e.t.c. and I would have to do /jail to a player then i go to the warp cell 1 then tp that player. but couldn't they go out or does jail make them not do that. also is there a easier way to do a /jail area. like /jail cell 1 create or something like that. also is there a command i could press that would give me help with /jail in game like /jail help or something around there? please help thanks
Have a look through the plugin repository for jail plugins, there are several with documentation for what you need. I'm personally using Essentials jail function which does everything you just described. http://dev.bukkit.org
It's been a little while since I set up my jails using Essentials, but I think the command for it was /setjail <jailname>. Then to jail someone, it's /jail <user> <jailname> <time>, with time being optional. I used cell1 and cell2 for my jail names, but you could name them pretty much anything as long as it's all one word. Once you use the /jail command on someone, they get sent directly to the jail cell and they can't do commands or building/breaking until they're unjailed. If you use the timer feature, they'll be released automatically once the time expires.
make sure your are either op or have the permission to set up here is the link to all essentials commands and perms http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Command_Reference
