- `/jail release <player>` - Release a player from jail early (teleports back to original location if enabled in config)

- `/jail time` - Check your own remaining jail time (available to jailed players) - `/jail time <player>` - Check any player's jail time (admin only - requires `oldschooljail.jail` permission) - `/jail list` - List all currently jailed players with details (admin only - requires `oldschooljail.jail` permission)

Admin Commands

- `/jail set <jail_name>` - Set a jail at your current location - `/jail set <jail_name> <x> <y> <z>` - Set a jail at specific coordinates - `/jail delete <jail_name>` - Delete a jail (automatically releases all prisoners)

Permissions

The mod uses the Fabric Permissions API and supports any permissions plugin that implements it (LuckPerms, etc.)

Permission Nodes

- `oldschooljail.jail` - Allows jailing players - `oldschooljail.release` - Allows releasing players - `oldschooljail.set` - Allows setting jail locations - `oldschooljail.delete` - Allows deleting jails - `oldschooljail.immune` - Makes a player immune to being jailed - `oldschooljail.time` - Allows using `/jail time` (granted to all by default) - `oldschooljail.jail` - Also allows using `/jail time <player>` to check other players' jail time

Note: If no permissions plugin is installed, the mod falls back to OP level 2 for admin commands.

Configuration

The config file is located at `config/oldschooljail.toml` and is automatically generated on first run with helpful comments.
