How to build a prison in Minecraft

If you want to know how to build a prison in Minecraft, in the next chapters I will show you the materials you will need for the execution of this project, as well as show you an example of a prison that you could build in your Minecraft world. The procedures apply to all editions of Minecraft and game platforms.

Materials to be used

As for the materials to be used for building a prison, you need to consider using resistant blocks. You could use Wood, but a prison made with this resource would be very weak, especially at a nearby Creeper explosion.

To defend the structure from an explosion you could then use Obsidian, using it as the main material or as a coating, but it is a wasteful resource in terms of collection time, as you can only collect it after cooling some lava with water.

The best compromise you can use is the classic brick block, which can be stone or clay. In both cases, I suggest you consult my guide dedicated to the subject, so as to have an idea on which of the two types can definitely be right for you.

In addition to the above, you also need an Iron Door and a Lever, on which you can find more details in this tutorial of mine. You will then need Iron Bars, which are crafted in a workbench with 6 units of Iron Ingots. Finally, you can decorate a prison cell with a Bed and also with Torches to light up the room.

How to make a prison in Minecraft

Now that you know what materials to use to make a prison in Minecraft, let’s see together how to approach the construction of this project in a very simple way. In the next paragraphs I will show you how to build a single prison cell, so you just need to repeat the project as many times as there are cells you want to insert in your structure.

Let’s start, therefore, from the cell: prepare a 7 × 7 area by digging the ground for a block of depth. Once this is done, fill the area with the blocks of the material you have chosen to use (in my case I chose the Stone Blocks ).

Now place a line of Stone Blocks around the perimeter of the cell area, taking care to leave a block of space to place the Iron Door. Next to the latter, outside the cell, also add a lever, without which it will not be possible otherwise to open the door.

At this point, on the two walls perpendicular to the one where the door is located, place two lines of stone blocks in height. Perform this procedure on the side where the door is located, but taking care to add blocks only on the right (or left) side of the door and not on both.

Once this is done, all you have to do is place the iron bars, in order to complete the walls. Add a Stone Block on the door and complete the roof of the prison cell. You just have to add a bed inside and some torches to illuminate the cell. If you are satisfied with only one cell, you can stop here, otherwise repeat the steps just illustrated to add more.

In addition to the solution that I have just presented to you, I suggest you consider the possibility of consulting some videos on YouTube, created by other Minecraft enthusiasts like you, which allow you to have more ideas of creativity for the realization of your personal project.

In this regard, all you have to do is reach the YouTube website or launch its official app for Android or iOS / iPadOS and carry out a simple search using the terms “Minecraft prison” or “Minecraft prison” (in English). . Then click on the thumbnail of the video that inspires you the most.

Mod to build a prison on Minecraft

If the construction of a prison in Minecraft as I have just indicated to you seems too long and/or complex, you can also use the Instant Structures Mod (ISM) to be able to build a prison on Minecraft Java Edition (the mod cannot be installed on the Bedrock version of Minecraft available on Windows 10, consoles and mobile devices) in just a few clicks.

First, however, you need to download the Minecraft Forge add-on, which I told you about in detail on how to install it in this tutorial of mine dedicated to the subject.

Once this is done, proceed with the download of ISM from the official website by clicking on the Download Instant Structures Mod button. So choose the version of ISM compatible with Minecraft Forge and move the .JAR file you just downloaded to the mods folder.

The latter can be found in the path C:\Users\[nome utente]\AppData\Roaming\.Minecrafton Windows and in the path ~/Library/Application Support/minecrafton macOS. If you don’t find the mods folder, you can create it manually (you may also find it useful to turn on the display of hidden files ).

At this point, start Minecraft, press the ▼ button located next to the Play button, select the Forge profile and press the Play button. If you’ve followed the instructions to the letter, you’ll have launched Minecraft with mod support, and the ISM screen will also open (which you don’t have to close).

After starting a game session, through the ISM screen, type the term “prison” in the search box at the top and click on the thumbnail of the project you like best. Click on ‘ icon brick, and finally click the button Place structure, to start the instantaneous construction of the project you selected. Convenient, right?
