NeoFactions
by V07T
NeoFactions adds a faction system to a NeoForge server, letting players form groups with ranks, a colored prefix and shared data.
What it does
Faction creation, administration and disbanding are all handled through commands typed in the game. A faction has a three-tier hierarchy of Leader, Officer and Member, and each rank carries its own permissions for inviting, kicking and promoting. Members can be recruited in two ways: officers invite players directly, or players apply and wait for approval.
Faction data is saved in the world folder, so it survives server restarts. The mod is built to stay lightweight and avoids large dependencies, and it works with vanilla clients.
The server is the only side that needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It is for NeoForge 1.21.1 with Java 21, and the latest file is 1.2.0, published 2026-07-13. NeoFactions is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source.
Key features
Faction creation and commands
Factions are created, managed and dissolved through commands typed in the game, with no external tools needed.
Three-tier rank hierarchy
Leader, Officer and Member ranks each carry permissions for inviting, kicking and promoting.
Two recruitment paths
Recruitment works in two directions: an officer may send an invitation to a player, or a player may submit an application that a faction must accept.
Colored faction prefix
The faction name shows as a colored prefix in chat, the TAB list and above the player's head.
Persistent faction data
Faction records are stored in the world folder and remain after the server restarts.
