New! Faction Rules
To keep things fair, every Faction participating must follow our set of rules, breaking these rules will result in Faction Strikes, which lead to a temporary value reduction, and can even result in a disqualification of participating in the Faction Top.
All rules can be found here: https://snapcraft.net/factions-rules/
Every participating Faction must follow these rules, so make sure to give it a good read.
New! WorldsBut what's Factions without its diverse worlds?
The overworld will be your vanilla-generated world, while all the other 2 worlds are flat worlds, ready for you to step into the base-building action.
These 3 worlds are waiting for you and your faction to get that base building going.
Each of these worlds come with their unique warzones, all in theme of the world.
The following 3 worlds have been added this season:
Overworld | End World | Fire World |
|---|---|---|
 5,000 x 5,000 size 3 KOTHs Custom generated terrain | 5,000 x 5,000 size 1 Outpost Flat world of sandstone at Y=30 | 5,000 x 5,000 size 1 KOTH Flat world of netherrack at Y=30 |
New! Raiding OutpostThe raiding outpost is a special area that will be open during the whole duration of the map, ensuring there's always some action right from the start.
To take control of this outpost, you need to raid a specific box where the outpost is located.
Once you capture the outpost, it enters a 15-minute grace period. After that, your faction must defend it.
For every 30 minutes that your faction holds the raiding outpost, you'll earn experience and money that goes directly into the Faction Bank.
Additionally, you'll receive a spawner boost for as long as you control the outpost.
 $20,000,000 every 30 minutes. |  250,000 Experience every 30 minutes. |  x2 Spawner Boost in your claims. |
|---|
