Shard's Factions

A faction holds land by claiming chunks, and a placed Obelisk marks the claim as protected. Players outside a faction are blocked from breaking or placing any individual block within its claimed chunks. Hand tools and automated miners cannot touch the Obelisk, so the only way through claimed terrain is with explosives, which strip a base's defenses. Ground troops cannot crack a fortified base without ordnance, which means attackers must mount a real siege while defenders dig in.

Each faction's claim capacity is tied to a power pool that grows with membership and shifts according to fights. A faction that wins fights holds its ground, while one that loses sees its power drain until its territory is overextended. Overclaiming a rival peels off one chunk at a time, and each chunk taken raises the claimant's own commitment, so a rival cannot be stripped bare without overextending the attacker. The mod is built for hardcore PvP servers. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1.
