This plugin will allow the players on the server to create factions/guilds. The factions can claim territory that will be protected from non-members. Factions can forge alliances and declare themselves enemies with others. Land may be taken from other factions through war.

The goals of this plugin:

• The players should be able to take care of anti-griefing themselves.
• Inspire politics and intrigues on your server.
• Guilding and team spirit!

Fork me on github!
I would be glad to code on this plugin together with you . Please fork me on github and do a pull request. Read more here:

There will be cake if you join me in the coding

Usage
Read the full userguide here: http://mcteam.org/factions <-

The chat console command is:

• /f

This command has subcommands like:

• /f create my faction name
• /f invite my friends name
• /f claim
• /f map
• ... etc

You may also read the documentation ingame as the plugin ships with an ingame help manual. Read the help pages like this:

• /f help 1
• /f help 2
• /f help 1

Note that you may optionally skip the slash and just write

• f

Installing

1. Download: https://github.com/oloflarsson/Factions/tree/master/releases
2. Put Factions.jar in your plugins folder

If you have Permissions installed you will need to configure it. Read more here.

Current ToDo list:

1. More admin controll, for example reassign faction admins.
2. Command to reload config file.
3. Give factions a limited number of separate territories. "You may only claim at the border of your territory". Purpose of this is to stop players from claiming land in a scattered way. Factions will be more stationary. This will encourage factions to build one main town.

Changelog:
Version 1.1.7

• Package structure changed to move it out of com.bukkit.* namespace (Olof Larsson)
• Removed Help plugin support as that plugin is not updated. (Olof Larsson)
• Changed name for No Faction to Wilderness (Olof Larsson)
• New unclaimall command (/f unclaimall) to unclaim all of the faction's land (Olof Larsson)
• Safezone claiming command now has optional radius input (/f safe [radius]) to claim a larger safezone area at a time (Olof Larsson)
• Added check to make sure chatTagInsertIndex is valid before using it, to prevent triggering an exception (Brettflan)
• Players who aren't currently in a faction should no longer get "Person left your faction" messages when others join a faction (Brettflan)
• Attempt at simple workaround for error related to NPCs from Citizens plugin (Brettflan)
• Placement and removal of paintings is now prevented if you're in another faction's territory (Brettflan)
• /f map has been updated to fit inside the new Bukkit line-width limits (39 tiles wide instead of 49) (Brettflan)

EDIT: by the way, you do need to have build 726 or newer of CraftBukkit (RB 733, for instance) since the painting events were added then.
More changelog:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Version 1.1.5 (By Brettflan)

• Fix for left-clicking on wooden doors not being detected
• Fix for null faction home location when loading factions data
• Added "factions.adminBypass" permission which will allow players with that permission to bypass the building/destruction and usage limitations inside faction territory
• New boolean config options territoryBlockTNT (default false), safeZoneDenyBuild (default true), safeZoneDenyUseage (default true), safeZoneBlockTNT (default true).

Version 1.1.3 (By Brettflan)

• updated to work with RB 600/602
• handled a couple of potential NPEs, one caused when saving faction info, and one where it could try sending messages to a player who is offline or otherwise doesn't currently exist for whatever reason
• fix/workaround for bucket usage not always being detected if 2-3 blocks away
• faction-tagged chat messages sent to the console and log now have crufty color tags (like "§f" and such) stripped out

Version 1.1.2

• bugfix - admins could not place signs etc in safezones (Olof Larsson)
• Added some missing instaDestroyItems (painting and flowers) (Olof Larsson)
• Added ability to load old pre-1.1 data files (board, factions, followers) if they exist and new files don't (Brettflan)

Version 1.1 (by Olof Larsson)
To upgrade: Remove you Factions folder
I'm sorry about that. There just are so many changes to the save files.

• Permissions plugin support
• Help plugin support
• Faction homes
• Better save file format
• Inactive players are kicked from their faction
• SafeZones - PVP and monster safe areas

Version 1.0 beta7 (by Brettflan)

• Fix for enemy attacks potentially healing people in their own territory due to armor calculations, instead of correctly just giving reduced damage.
• Placement/use of these items inside another faction's territory is now prevented: redstone wire, sign, flint&steel, bucket (empty, water, and lava).
  Code is also in place to prevent placement of beds and repeaters, but CraftBukkit doesn't properly detect those yet.
• Fix for destruction of certain blocks not previously being detected and prevented: torch, redstone torch, repeater, redstone wire, sapling, crops, sugar cane.
• Minor spelling and grammar fixes
• Added options "territoryBlockCreepers" and "territoryBlockFireballs" to configuration file (conf.json). These both default to disabled. If enabled, they will respectively prevent creepers or ghast fireballs from destroying blocks if they explode inside faction owned territory. These can prevent griefing by way of luring creepers into another faction's territory.
  Note that both explosion types will still hurt nearby players and mobs, they just won't destroy blocks.
  Also note that "territoryBlockFireballs" only works in CB build 557 and higher, where fireball detection was added.

Version 1.0 beta6
To upgrade:
Factions now use world name instead of world id for the board files.
Nothing will be claimed when you start the server. Change the board file name(s)
from something like 234978619762348768.json to something like world.json.

• Updated to work with Craftbukkit 493 (by Brettflan)
• Paginated faction listing (by Brettflan)
• Single jar install (by Brettflan)
• Board files now use world name instead of world id (by Olof Larsson)

Version 1.0 beta5

• Updated to work with Craftbukkit 450, which means Minecraft 1.3 compatibility
• For now messages like these are removed: "Playername tried to use Wooden door in your territory". They could be used for chat spamming.

Version 1.0 beta4
To upgrade: Start and stop the server once with the new jar. Paste the content from board.json into the newly created file in /plugins/Faction/boards/. After this you can delete board.json.

• MultiWorld support.
• Faction chat is now something you turn on and of.
• Arrows are now included in the friendly fire filter.
• Some stability fixes.

Version 1.0 beta3
To upgrade: Delete conf.json and rename the "name" field to "tag" in every faction.json file.

• Greatly improved chat and messaging system!
  Cooperates well with other plugins. Tested with Essentials and iChat so far.
• New faction chat command
• More config options
• Bugfix: You can now claim land from enemies
• ... and a lot of other fixes

Version 1.0 beta2

• There is now a config file where you may alter chat colors, dynamics of war etc.
  I will add documentation on the config soon...
• Made the color formating a bit more understandable.
• There is now a broadcast when a new faction is created.

Version 1.0 beta1

• The first release

 

What is the possibility of limiting this plugin per world? Our server runs three, a normal world, the nether, and a PVP no rules world. We have been considering using the third world for factions. We however have no need for it on the rest of the server.

 

im having problems with editing my config. when i do, it just generates a new one

 

yes hi, i have a few questions.
1. is there a way to limit factions to building and mining in their teritory only? not in unconquered land either. that could be really helpful. kinda like a cuboid type deal.
2. how do i change the format of the clans in chat? they show up as white and i dont have my pretty red color!!! i want the faction color to show the friendly status, but i want the rank color to show up. i tried to look it up, but its not working.
other then that, much better then towny! thanks!

 

I have been having the same issue no matter what value I attempt to change in the conf.json file.
It gives me an error message that people forget to post and then returns the config to default.
Are you getting a similar message? (I really want this issue resolved along with the fact that hours of searching forums and even editing registry keys and path variables and quadruple checking everything still has me unable to allocate more than 1 gb to the server when my system has 12, what a shame.)

When do you think the nest update will be? - I hope to see more Admin Commands, for example; disbanding a faction in-game, instead of deleting it out.

 

Hello, the plugin works fine except when I enter a claim area, there is no message and I can destroy everything

 

Are you running a 64-bit OS and using the latest version of java?

 

Been running this for a few days now and all my members love it.

A couple suggestions:
-Alliance chat: Rather than /f chat only showing you and people in your specific faction, have a command to enable chat with all allied factions. My world is made up of lots of small factions, and this would be really useful.
-Faction ranks: Allow only mods/admins to claim areas for the faction (not sure if this is already available?)

I swear I had a few others that I was thinking about, but I've lost them now =\ Great plugin, keep up the good work!

 

Alliance chat would be great. I have a suggestion as well: I'd like a feature to -- instead of claiming a safezone as a server administrator -- be able to unclaim any faction territory and prevent land from being claimed while not offering safezone or faction benefits.

 

is there a way to have like a parent nation? so for example, i have a main empire, and my friend wants to branch off and create his own faction within a faction, so he is technically with me but its just a differnet faction?

 

Something like a vassal state sort of thing? That would be awesome.

 

First off, I'd just like to say, that the zoning for this pisses me off really badly. I was thinking, "Oh yeah, I set 4 corners and my faction owns that, and that's it." But no, I can only have a minuscule amount of land. Also, I don't like how the admin of the ENTIRE FUCKING SERVER (me) can't set myself to the admin of a simple faction.

 

Hi all, any news about faction ? Update to bukkit 670 ? And for usage of TNT in enemy territory ? It was fixed or not ?

EDIT : oh and i see on your server, you used faction 1.1.7 ! It's on test or operational ? I wait for the latest link.

 

Yes, including the java dev kit.

Woah man, no need for such harsh language or the anger. Being offensive to the people who are trying to get things working both together and correctly is no way to try to get help with your problem. And its a bad way to make a suggestion for the plugin as well. People will see what you suggest and give it little or no attention. Maybe even see your suggestions in a negative light and form the opposite opinion. I think you should edit your post.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You really need to give admins more power though, or give us the ability to manually add people into factions or something. Just had an issue where I tried to edit the "No Faction" faction's description, and it completely broke the plugin, making me start from scratch. Now there are people who have nothing claimed because they aren't online right now. It would be nice, as an admin, to have the power to create factions and populate them and such without the people actually being online.

 

I can edit it just fine in the txt file. but i agree with this.

 

Also, as has been said, faction merging would be awesome!

 

Sorry if this has already been stated but:
Feature request:
factions.claim
permission node

 

I know people can have different opinions, and this isn't a suggestion. It's a complaint about the plugin. I swear if you say, "You can't even make plugins"... I will not edit my post, because I feel it expresses my opinion perfectly.

 

You know you have complete control over the amount of land you can claim, right? You can make the amount bigger if you want in the Config file...

You're basically complaining about a problem that was caused by yourself, and not the plugin creator.

RTFM

 

Hey I'm having difficulty increasing the amount of land, removing creepers and allowing anybody to use wooden doors, the config file gets reset when I open the server - I am running latest version of java and I have CB 674 I also have permissions. Everything else works just not the config file
Thanks

 

Make sure the server is closed before editing the config file, otherwise it will be overwritten when you close the server and any changes you made will be lost.

plz help me

 

@Olof Larsson

I have a couple feature requests

Is there a way you can set a list of blocks that are protected by the plugin? I know things that are triggerable are listed, such as doors, furnaces and dispenses, but it would be cool if you could also have a array of blocks that are protectable by factions, and other materials are not.

 

Also, you should only put one release in the download, because that's confusing as shit. Which one?

I'd like to be able to claim that land, all at once. Not have to go all around the massive territory I chose, constantly typing in /f claim. It gets really frustrating after a while.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

The server is off when I make the changes but it still refreshes it.

 

Hi,

Would like to check all chests on the server for any possible cheaters.
As an administrator I can look inside chests that are locked with LWC, but faction areas block me out. Any way to bypass this protection?

Thanks!

 

I don't get a jar. file D:

 

Have you seen the Towny Plugin? http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/se...ion-hierarchy-grid-based-protection-531.3358/

I really like a lot of the features of that plugin, but it's not updated. Would you ever consider adding the iConomy aspect of that mod, to your mod? Polls and things sound really awesome as well.

 

the towny format is cool, but he should support both boseconomy and iconomy. it would really help me out. but i want a basic form of towny. none of that chat and other crap that other mods have. if i want that stuff, ill get mods that actually work that out.

plus, could you make it an option that factions cant build in the wilderness or unclaimed land? i really dont want my factions to expand outside their area of influence. thats one of my biggest issues with this plugin right now. or perhapse give us the choice of what they can and cant mine out in the wilderness. like they can cut down wood and add planks and cobble but not mine rock and precious minerals. that would make it more of a stragety based game there.
