Commands and Gameplay

The Spawn Area

The spawn area is a safezone, in which you cannot attack other players. You can also use this area to conduct trades with other players and to purchase basic items from the shops.

Start a faction

When you first join the server, you'll want to get yourself oriented in the spawn area, grab a few basic items, and start building your shelter (at least 100 blocks from spawn). In order to protect this shelter from being destroyed you will need to start a faction and claim the land on which you are building. Don't worry, this is a simple process. Use /f create [name of your faction here] and feel free to add a description using /f desc [Our faction rocks!].

Great! You've created your faction. Now protect your land before someone destroys it. Use /f claim to claim land for your new faction. This will give you a 16x16 plot of land to build on. Need more? Simply use /f claim to claim other land. This will claim the land you are standing on.

Power levels

All players are worth up to 10 'power levels'. You gain power the more you play online. Presently, for every 5 minutes you are online, you generate 1 power level up to 10 total. Every time you die, you lose 4 power levels. Your faction's total power level is equal to the sum of all players within the faction. You can claim as much land as you have power. For example, if you have two members each with 10 power, you faction's power level is 20. You may claim up to 20 plots (16x16 blocks each) of land.

Be careful! If your faction's power level falls below the amount of land you have, others can come onto your land and claim it for themselves and thus taking all of your items! Players cannot access furnaces or open doors or trap doors on your claimed land! (unless they take it when your power levels are lowwe than your land levels.) They can, however, open chests. So make sure you tuck those away in your base well!

Inviting people to your faction

So things are getting lonely.. you want to invite some people you've met in the game to your faction to help boost your power and help battle other factions! Simply use /f invite [player name here] they will have to accept by issuing a /f join [faction name here].

Allies and Enemies

By default, your faction is neutral to all other factions. You can attack other neutral faction's players.. but not on their own land. You have to declare them an enemy to do so. Use /f enemy [faction name] to list them as your enemy. Alternatively, you can use /f ally [faction name] to ally another faction. This is very handy, as allied players cannot take damage from you, and thusly, they can team up with you to destroy other factions and players!

Teleporting

The server lets you teleport to other players and areas. To get to the spawn area, simply type /spawn to teleport to another player, simply type /tpa [playername]. They will have to accept this request by typing /tpaccept. There is a 5 second countdown before you will be teleported. Don't move in this time! or your teleport will be canceled. This is to prevent players from running away from battle.

PvP and Faction wars

This is a PvP server. It is recommended that you are always armed and always alert. Someone could potentially attack you at any moment. Remember, too many deaths and your power level could drop, leading to someone taking over your land! It is important you often do a /f who to check your power levels. (and if you're feeling sly, /f who [faction name] will give you other faction's power levels :]. It should go without saying that you don't want to /tpaccept requests from random players either. You may be headed into an ambush.
