Factions [​BETA]

A replication of the Factions plugin in Vanilla Minecraft!

This data pack is a recreation of the Factions bukkit plugin for servers in vanilla minecraft. It introduces similar faction mechanics into your world like creating faction power, land claiming, raiding, and more. This data pack is still in development and will be optimized in the future. If you have any issues or feedback, please leave a comment.

Core Features

• Players can create, join, leave, and disband factions.
• Faction owners can kick unwanted members from their faction.
• Players earn power for their faction and lose power for their faction when killed.
• Factions can claim chunks with power which are protected from modification by outsiders.
• Factions become raid-able when they do not have enough power to upkeep their territories.
• Factions can toggle particle borders around their claimed chunks.
• Players can toggle their ability to receive faction invites.
• Displays current territory on the action bar.
• Unique colours for each faction.
• Configurable settings.
• Territories show up on maps.
• Holding a compass will direct you to the nearest faction territory.

Mechanics

Any player can create a faction. Factions can claim chunks of land which are 16x16 areas within the minecraft world.
Players can invite their friends to their faction.

Factions have "Power" which is a currency used to claim land. Each member of a faction regenerates power for their faction
every period of time which can be configured in the config.mcfunction file. If a player dies, they also lose a configured
amount of power from their faction.

A faction which has less power than the upkeep required for all of their claimed territories will become "Raidable."
This means any player can modify blocks within their claimed territories.
To become protected again, the faction must accumulate the required power to maintain upkeep.

/trigger f_new - Creates a new faction and claims the chunk the player is standing on when the command is run.

Directions For Use

Make sure that you run the /reload command once you place the extracted data pack in to the datapack folder within your save file.

Using this data pack in combination with other data packs in a single world may cause unintended behaviour from the Factions data pack.
When using this data pack, killing all entities or armor stands will cause factions claims to be deleted. Avoid using datapacks or commands that may do this.
