Factions
by ickerio
Factions gives servers a claim-based faction system, with land claims, ranks, faction chat and a power budget that limits how much ground each group can hold.
What it does
Players form factions, claim chunks of land and rank their members. A faction's power cap grows as new members join, which allows it to claim more land, while dying lowers a member's power and can leave a faction's claims vulnerable once power drops below the required threshold. Factions adds faction-private and global chat, colored ranks and descriptions, a message of the day and a stylized player list, and it works immediately after installation before any further configuration.
Over 30 commands cover creating and managing factions, claims, ranks and chat. Advanced options let server owners tune the mechanics, and the wiki describes the mechanics, configuration, commands and integrations in depth. Factions requires Fabric API. Optional support is available for BlueMap, Dynmap and squaremap, and Dynmap and Lucko Perms work out of the box. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric across 31 release versions, 1.17 – 26.3.
