First off if you don't even know what the plugin Factions is? Shame on you! But after this tutorial you will get admin in no time for your stellar knowledge on this excellent plugin!!!! First off, factions is a plugin that enables players to form groups or clans. To server Admins, this means a local government and enhances pvp play. It's an easy group system to set up. It also adds a sort of diplomacy theme to your server. Remember, it's a highly common plugin, because it's very well loved.
IF you want something a little "Off the grid" check out my Towny Tutorial: HERE

PLAYER TUTORIAL:
For a common player factions is a uncomplex way to group up a fight with others. It allows you to claim your land to stop griefers, and protect chests (if the admin does not disable this feature). But the worst thing is when your faction leader (lets call this faction the Templars, a common faction name) doesn't even know simple commands. Newbs, this is for you
  • /f help,h,? [page] o Display a help page
  • /f list,ls *[page] o Show a list of the factions
  • /f show,who *[faction tag] o Show detailed information on a certain faction
  • /f map *[on|off] o Show an ascii-art map of the nearby territory. Per default it will render only when you use the command. If you specify on or off you will toggle if the map should render every once in a while.
  • /f power *[player name] o Show either your own power (if no name is specified) or another playero s power (if a player name is specified, and permission node factions.viewAnyPower is granted)
  • /f join [faction name] o Join a faction
  • /f leave o Leave your faction
  • /f chat,c o Switch faction only chat on and off
  • /f home o Teleport to the faction homef
  • /f create [faction tag] o Create a new faction with you as admin
  • /f desc [desc] o Change the faction description
  • /f tag [faction tag] o Change the faction tag
  • /f open o Switch if invitation is required to join
  • /f invite,inv [player name] o Invite a player
  • /f deinvite,inv [player name] o Remove a pending invitation
    If your faction is closed invitations are required to join the faction.
  • /f sethome *[faction tag] o Set the faction home (faction tag can only be specified by those with admin bypass permission; otherwise, ito s for your own faction)
  • /f claim o Claim the land where you are standing
  • /f claim [faction=your] [radius=1] o Claim the land in a radius around where you are standing
  • /f autoclaim [faction=your] o Start auto-claiming land as you walk around
  • /f unclaim, declaim o Unclaim the land where you are standing
    The area claimed is a minecraft o chunko . It is an 16Ã 16 area all the way from bedrock to the sky. If you are claiming territory from another faction you must start at the border. Only faction moderators and admin can do this.
  • /f owner *[player name] o Set/remove ownership of a 16Ã 16 claimed territory. If a player name is specified, that player will be added or removed from the owner list for the territory. If no player name is specified, it will either set ownership to the player running the command (if no owners are currently set) or completely clear ownership of the territory.
  • /f ownerlist o View a list of owners for the current area. Only works inside your own factiono s territory.
  • /f kick [player name] o Kick a player from the faction.
    Faction moderators can kick normal players but not eachother. The faction admin can kick moderators though.
  • /f mod [player name] o Give or revoke moderator rights to one of the members of the faction. You must be faction admin to do this.
  • /f admin [player name] o Hand over your admin rights to another member. Note that you are really handing it over. You will not be admin for the faction any longer. You will be turned into a moderator, but the new admin could kick you any time.
  • /f title [player name] *[title] o Set or remove a players title. This serves special meaning. Ito s just fun and allows you to o promoteo players.
  • /f noboom o enable/disable explosions inside your factiono s territory; only available to faction admin and faction moderators for peaceful factions (explained further down)
  • /f ally [faction name]
  • /f neutral [faction name]
