4 months ago, I used an enchanted diamond sword that I got from a drop party. I used it, then I had to take up jail time. The problem is that I am still in jail, even though I threw out my diamond sword. How can I get out of jail, and is jail time basically a ban for prison even though it is not a ban?
You should have only been jailed for an hour. I'm not an expert at Prison, but I believe you have to be in-game for the duration of the jailing (though I could be wrong). If you've been in jail for more than an hour, contact a staff member and they should release you.
After your jail time is up, you need to do /spawn and it will allow you to leave. Closing. Let me know if you have any other questions.
