# Factions

### What are factions?

Land claims are referred to as factions on the server. Factions claim land/chunks to protect from PvP, mobs, and griefing.

They are also a group of players. Players can create factions, invite members, assign roles, and set their faction’s goals and strategy.

### Territory & Claiming

* Factions can **claim land** in the world (by chunks).
* Within claimed territory, faction members have special build/break permissions, depending on settings.

To claim land:

1. Create an outline of the claim by using the automatic claim command `/f claim --auto` (claims chunks where you walk)
2. Fill the outlined claim by entering into the middle of the outline and entering the command `/f claim --fill`

#### Upkeep System

Your faction will have to pay a daily upkeep on the chunks your faction possesses

* The daily faction upkeep amount is displayed in the menu opened by `/f show`
* If your faction fails to pay the upkeep amount, the faction will enter bankruptcy
* Under bankruptcy, your faction cannot invite new members, cannot earn unused power income, and cannot claim new land
* If the bankruptcy is never lifted, the faction will disband 10 real-life days after it entered bankruptcy
* You can check how much your faction owes as upkeep debt using the command `/f show` and `/f debt`
* All money deposited into the faction bank during bankruptcy will be used to pay off the debt, and once the debt account reaches 0, bankruptcy is lifted

### Player Commands

#### **Basic Player Commands**

Here are **player faction commands** you’ll use most often:

| Command              | What it Does                           |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `/f create <name>`   | Create a new faction                   |
| `/f invite <player>` | Invite someone to your faction         |
| `/f join <faction>`  | Join a faction (if open or invited)    |
| `/f leave`           | Leave your current faction             |
| `/f claim`           | Claim land for your faction            |
| `/f unclaim`         | Remove a claim                         |
| `/f home`            | Teleport to your faction’s home        |
| `/f set home`        | Set your faction’s home spawn point    |
| `/f map`             | Display nearby faction territory map   |
| `/f list`            | List all factions                      |
| `/f relation <ally>` | Set your relation with another faction |
| `/f power`           | Check faction or player power level    |

*There are many more commands available.*

### Permissions & Role Management

Faction leaders can control who can do what inside faction land. Each role (like recruit, member, moderator, co-leader, admin) has different permissions. You can adjust these with `/f set perms` and role commands.

### Upgrades

Faction upgrades can be found in the menu opened by entering the command `/f upgrades`

* In this menu, upgrades like the ability to use zones, crop growth, and the number of warps your faction is allotted can be upgraded
* To upgrade, click an option and purchase the upgrade

### **Chat & Communication**

You can switch faction chat modes or talk in ally/faction/public channels using commands like:

```
/f chat ally
/f chat faction
/f chat public
```
