Bóveda de Pandora también conocido como el Creeper Crypt o La Prisión, es un complejo carcelario masivo lleno de complicadas violaciones de piedra roja construidas por Awesamdude con la ayuda de Dream, BadBoyHalo, Antfrost, y otros. Muchas características de la prisión se consideran de alto secreto y no serán reveladas al público. Sam mismo, junto con Bad y Antfrost, son los guardias de la prisión en este momento.

Actualmente, Dream es el único prisionero oficial, ya que Tommy sólo está allí debido a un problema de seguridad que obligó a la prisión a cerrarse. Ambos se mantienen en la celda de máxima seguridad.

Historia

Construcción

El 6 de diciembre de 2020, Dream le pagó a Sam una pila de bloques de diamantes para construir una prisión que era ineludible. Dream solo reveló que la prisión era para alguien capaz, y que no podían matar a quien fuera. Dream quería que la prisión se terminara a finales de año.

La prisión fue construida en una enorme plataforma de tierra construida en el medio del océano detrás de la mansión de cuarzo. Está construido principalmente de obsidiana y piedra negra. Sam pasó una enorme cantidad de tiempo construyendo el exterior de la misma. También estimó que la construcción de las paredes tomó 20,000 bloques. El 16 de diciembre, Sam terminó el exterior de la prisión.

El 9 de enero de 2021, en una conversación con Eret, Sam estimó que pasó catorce días completos en línea y muchas más horas fuera de línea planeando con Dream trabajando en la prisión.

El 13 de enero de 2021, Sam mostró Ponk la segunda sala que se encontró en el otro lado del portal de la nebera en el hall de entrada. Sam también mostró a Ponk el libro clave del guardián de la prisión, que consta de tres páginas. Sin embargo, Ponk sólo pudo ver la primera página, con Sam explicando que tendría que cambiar todos los códigos dentro de la prisión si las otras páginas se muestran.

First imprisonment

During the Disc confrontation on January 20, 2021, Dream confirmed that the prison was originally not planned for TommyInnit. However, Dream changed his mind and decided to imprison Tommy. In a turn of events, a coalition of the server came to aid Tommy in fighting Dream. After losing two lives, Dream revealed that he had the power of resurrection, leading to Tommy to decide to spare him. Nonetheless, Tommy did not want to allow Dream to roam. Awesamdude then proposed an alternative that they could lock Dream in the prison. The members of the coalition were satisfied with the plan, and Dream was escorted to the prison.

A joke

On February 7, 2021, GeorgeNotFound, vandalized the prison by breaking a block of blackstone. He joked about breaking Dream out of the prison and bringing him back to "freedom." Warden Awesamdude, infuriated with George's actions, replaced the block and made a threat, stating that if George was to commit the action again Sam would take all of his canon lives.

First Breach

During Tommy's visit to Dream, series of explosions went through the prison. This forced Tommy to be locked into the prison with Dream, at least until the end of the week. It's unknown, and unclear who blew up the prison. Tommy couldn't get out, because Sam did not respond to any of Tommy's yells or messages. Later on during the day, he gave Bad and Antfrost tours as the new guards of the prison. He stated he was worried as something had happened earlier, and he needed them to be on high alert and constantly reporting back to him.

Prison features

Security measures

In order to secure the prisoner inside, there are many measures being taken to keep them from escaping.

General security

• Elder guardian Mining Fatigue - Elder guardians give a specific effect known as Mining Fatigue, which makes it incredibly difficult for a player to break blocks. With three layers of obsidian and other precautions being taken, the walls are hard to mine. Sam has mentioned that it would take nearly nine hours to break a single block in the wall.
  • It has since been shown that the mining fatigue area expands far beyond the prison area, covering the badlands mansion and the prime path. Several members have alerted this to Sam, who has said he will investigate and try to rectify.

• Spawnlocking - When the prisoner enters the cell, they are forced to click a bed before being catapulted with redstone back into the cell. This method would also work if they were to die and respawn, as they would be pushed back into the cell and making it impossible to escape by dying. According to Dream, the spawnlocking mechanism is sufficiently sophisticated enough that once a prisoner is detained, they are unable to break the bed to respawn at the world spawn.
• Nether portal grid - In order to enter the main cell, you must enter through a series of different nether portals that are controlled by the warden. The portal system has been built in such a way that it is impossible to build any other portal in the nether to gain entry.
• Item specific keycards/item sacrifice - In order to enter certain places, one must sacrifice specific items into a chest in order to unlock a specific keycard to allow you to enter different rooms. According to what's been seen of the prison, there are several different layers of item sacrifice and keycards. The keycards are usually books that have a specifically generated code that cannot be replicated.
• Guard spawn - The prison uses an ender pearl stasis chamber that would teleport guards if an ender pearl in a bubble column were to hit a block. The stasis system is hooked up to activate if the prisoner were to escape or set off an alarm. The method would teleport them into a chamber that would splash them with harming potions, killing and respawning them in a place that would equip them with full enchanted netherite and weapons, and splash them with many buff potions. Personal items of the guards are collected upon their death, protecting them and securing the prison.
• Text messages - Using an undisclosed method, the prison guards are said to be able to get warning texts when certain portions of the wall are broken into, meaning that a night escape is futile because the guards can always be warned of any undergoing escape attempts.
• Walls - The walls are said to be multiple layers of pure obsidian, making breaking through nearly impossible. Meshed into the walls are observers that are able to detect someone attempting to break out or into the prison and either activate an ender portal or send a text message to the prison guards.

Guest security

• Item/effect check - Guests are ordered to stand in a series of rooms to be checked for potential dangerous items or potion effects that would not allow them to let the prisoner out.
• Weakening - Guests are given harmful effects before entering maximum security rooms or cells. If anything were to go wrong, visitors could easily be killed.

Maximum security cell

The maximum security cell is currently holding Dream. The cell consists of an obsidian box with one side open for access in a large chamber surrounded by lava. The lava can be cut off for access to the cell, and a retractable bridge separates the cell from the rest of the prison. Inside the cell is a clock on the wall, a cauldron filled with water, a lectern for reading books, and a chest filled with book and quills. There is also a small pool of water used by the prisoner for the spawn trap. The pool is also used by the visitors as an exit. To exit, potions of harming are dispensed above, killing the visitor and respawning them outside the cell. Later on, it was revealed that some of the obsidian blocks had turned into crying obsidian as a security measure. Sam also renamed one of the clocks "DO NOT BURN", but Dream burned this one as well. He has not received a replacement clock since then.

Prison entry protocol

To visit the prison, the guest must summon the warden by clicking the button at the entrance hall and travel through the nether portal grid controlled by the warden. Upon entering, the warden at the desk has the visitor sign waivers waiving the prison's responsibility and gives the prisoner the responsibility for all risks. (A transcript of the waivers can be found on the Dream SMP books page.) In addition, the guest is vetted through interrogation with questions regarding the visitor's visit history, relationship with the prisoner, and the location of residence.

After questioning, the visitors are reminded by the warden that anything the warden or guards say must be followed. After the vetting process, the visitor must deposit all items into a locker. They are provided a key that must be stored in an ender chest. The visitor is then led into separate rooms where they reset their spawn and are killed to ensure that they are free of external items.

Visitors

Visitors
Name	Date	Visting	Notes
Ranboo	Unknown. (possibly the first visit to happen. Sam stated that this visit occurred not long after Dream was imprisoned.)	Dream	Visited during his "Enderwalk" state. Notably, he erased the legal documents that Sam provided before signing, leaving only the phrase "I hereby assume" and his name in Enderman language. We are unsure how many times Ranboo has visited, as Dream telling Sapnap "he's stopped visiting" implies Ranboo visited more than once.
TommyInnit	January 21, 2021	Dream	Visited Dream to check on him after the events of the Disc Confrontation. He made Dream write books for him (which Dream later burnt) and performed mild therapy.
BadBoyHalo	January 30, 2021	Dream	Visited Dream so see what he was up to. He saw Dream's arguably bad living conditions within the prison and wants to improve it.
Ranboo	January 30, 2021	Dream	Planned to visit to confront Dream about his actions. Began to hallucinate, was told that he was Dream's best friend, and had the voice return. (It was most likely a hallucination and this visit did not actually occur.)
Ranboo	February 1, 2021	N/A	Attempted to visit Dream, but had failed initial security protocols when asked if he had visited the prison beforehand, not remembering his first visit. Was confronted with the documents of his visit by Sam shortly after his failed visit. Sam bans Ranboo from entering the prison from this point forward, but also by request from Ranboo.
Sapnap	February 9/10, 2021	Dream	Planned to originally visit Dream as a joke, but later actually did. He doesn't know what to think of Dream anymore, as Dream didn't talk to him as much as Sapnap wanted him to. Dream revealed to Sapnap that he tried to break out using a lectern, but failed. Sapnap tried to convince Dream that he deserved to be there, but Dream didn't listen. Dream wanted Sapnap to pass a note to Ranboo, "(:". Sapnap also was told to tell George to visit.
TommyInnit	February 21, 2021	Dream	Originally went to visit Dream for the last time however, TNT was set off during his visit. Tommy screamed for Sam to let him out however Sam wrote in game chat that there is a security issue and needs to check out, therefore Tommy is stuck in Dream's cell in the meantime.

Name

The name Pandora's Vault refers to the Greek Myth of Pandora's Box. In the myth, a titan by the name of Prometheus stole fire from the sun to gift to the humans of Earth-- In some versions fire was stolen back from the Gods after Zeus was tricked by Prometheus. After Zeus found out, he became furious, and in vengeance, he presented Pandora to Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother. Pandora was said to be the first woman on earth, being created from the gifts of the gods. Epimetheus gifted a box to Pandora and was told to never open it. However, curiosity got the best of her, so she opened the box. This small action released all the evils of humanity into the world including disease, malice, death and many others. Eventually, she managed to close the box with only hope remaining inside. Today, Pandora's Box is often used as an idiom for something that holds an unexpected or endless amount of problems.
