Prison Gangs Guide: Size, Upgrades, Levels and Gang Top (2026)

Short answer: A gang on Complex Prison (hub.mc-complex.com) is your team. Create one with /gang create <name> for free. Gangs start with 6 member slots (upgradeable to 8) plus a 10-player roster that rotates people in. Level your gang to 25 by mining blocks together, buy upgrades with tokens, finish daily and weekly missions, and climb Gang Top for monthly prizes like GC, Plus rank and seasonal keys.

Creating and joining a gang​

• Create: /gang create <name>. It's free. Names are up to 16 characters, letters and numbers only, and must be unique.
• Invite: /gang invite <player>. They join with /gang join <gang>.
• Find a gang: use /recruitment (/lfg) to apply to gangs or find players. You can have up to 5 applications open.
• One gang at a time: you can only be in one gang.
• Join cooldown: creating or joining a gang starts a 7-day cooldown before you can join or create a different gang. Rejoining the same gang is fine, and players with 3 days or less of Prison playtime don't get the cooldown.

Type /gang on its own to open the gang menu, where you can do almost everything with clicks. See Prison Commands for every gang command.

Gang ranks and permissions​

Gang ranks from lowest to highest: Recruit, Member, Moderator, Admin, Owner. Default permissions:

• Everyone: deposit into the gang bank and buy upgrades.
• Member and up: open the gang vault.
• Moderator and up: invite, kick, withdraw from the bank and rotate roster players.
• Admin and up: promote and demote, change settings, start boosters, claim mission rewards and reroll missions.
• Owner: everything, plus /gang transfer and /gang disband.

Admins can change these in /gang permissions.

Members and the roster​

• Member slots: 6 to start. The Gang Members upgrade raises it to 7 (500,000 tokens, gang level 5) and 8 (2,500,000 tokens, gang level 8).
• Roster: 10 extra players who can rotate into the gang. Roster players rejoin automatically when they log in, and if the gang is full, the lowest-ranked offline member is rotated out to make room. The owner is never rotated out.
• Roster rules: you can add 1 new roster player per day (no limit for gangs less than 7 days old). Players who are AFK for 30 minutes get rotated out.
• Gang events: only players in a live member slot can join gang events.

Use /gang roster to manage it and /gang rotate <player> to swap someone in.

Gang upgrades​

Upgrades are bought with tokens in /gang upgrades, and every member can chip in. Some tiers need a gang level.

Gang levels​

Your gang levels up from 1 to 25 when its members mine the blocks each level asks for. Some levels also need fish, crops or Skull Island kills, and levels 10 to 25 also cost tokens. Check your progress with /gang level, and pin a task to your scoreboard.

• Catch-up discount: every requirement is 1% cheaper for each gang that has already reached that level, up to 25% off.
• Gang Top points: every level-up gives your gang Gang Top points, from 300 at level 2 to 7,500 at level 25.

Gang levels unlock upgrade tiers you can then buy:

• Level 2: a 2nd daily mission
• Level 5: the 7th member slot
• Level 8: the 8th member slot
• Level 10: a 3rd daily mission
• Level 14: the Auction House tax discount
• Level 15: the Gang Private Mine and Leaderboard Payouts
• Level 25: the top tiers of the vault, Leaderboard Payouts and gang private mine upgrades

Higher vault, bank, mcMMO and Skull Island upgrade tiers also unlock along the way.

Gang missions​

Open /gang missions to see them.

• Daily missions: last 24 hours, like mining 200k to 400k blocks, opening 50 crates or catching 2,000 fish. Once Skull Island is open there are Skull Island missions too. Each one gives 10,000 Gang Top points and a 1.25x Sell Booster for 30 minutes.
• Weekly mission: lasts 7 days, and only the first 3 gangs to finish it get the reward: 50,000 Gang Top points and a 1.25x Sell Booster for 6 hours.
• Rerolls: need the Mission Reroll upgrade. Each reroll costs 25,000 + 5,000 per member + 2,000 per gang level in tokens.
• Boosters: gang boosters are started from the gang menu, and only one can run at a time.

Gang Top and monthly prizes​

Gang Top ranks gangs by points earned each week. The weekly top 10 earn monthly points (10 for 1st down to 1 for 10th), and the top 10 gangs of the month claim prizes with /gang top claim. Weeks reset every Monday, and the month resets on the first Monday of the month.
Ways to earn Gang Top points:

• Daily missions: 10,000. Weekly mission: 50,000.
• Gang events: the points your gang banks during the event.
• Gang Flash Mines: 250 / 150 / 100 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
• Pond captures on Skull Island: 600 each, plus Pond Mastery and weekly pond winner bonuses.
• Gang level-ups: 300 to 7,500.
• Value Finder crystals, rune procs and Swindled Shards.

Last month's top 3 gangs earn 10%, 5% and 3% fewer points until the next monthly reset, so new gangs have a fair shot.
Monthly prizes:

Gang private mine​

At gang level 15 your gang can unlock a private mine for 15,000,000 tokens. Open it with /gangprivatemines.

• It costs Gold Shards to keep it open, 128 per 15 minutes by default (cheaper with upgrades).
• Choose any mine up to your gang's Highest Level Mine upgrade, from rank B up to Prestige XII.
• Upgrades add a sell bonus of up to 5% inside the gang mine and lower the Gold Shard cost to as little as 32.
