Clans

**Clans** are a feature introduced in **Season 3**. They are aligned groups of players that collectively help each other in climbing the ranks. The more players a clan has, the more *Reputation* they have..

Being in a clan helps new players learn about certain strategies and combos, by being taught by more experienced players in the clan. It also makes completing Quests in Events much easier. Clan Leaders are also able to supply their members with blocks, especially rare ones, to help out their fellow teammates, and increase the general skill level of the clan.

In order to join a clan, you'd have to request to join, and then get approval by one of the Clan Admins, which is easier than what most people think because of the fact that the majority of clans tend to accept Lower Ranking players to spread their influence, and gain Reputation on the server. Below is a list of Clans that can be found in the game, and joined.

## Clans List

### The Bats

This is by far one of the largest clans on the server. Previously in **Season 3**, they had a combined total of 32,000 Members, or 8% of all players at the time. They tend to have a large amount of more inexperienced and beginner to intermediate players, but nonetheless, they are an amazing option for people starting out, who are looking for a great, cooperative community, that's able to easily help new players climb the ranks.

### The Paladins

This Clan is much more selective then the last, only accepting players of Emerald 2 Rank or higher. Nevertheless, they're an extremely skilled and experienced clan, and a formidable force to be reckoned with. Their selectiveness and high entrance requirement makes sure that they only have some of the best players that can be found on the server.

### The Ghosts

The ghosts are the oldest clan in block battles they are mostly known for taking control of all the purple blocks back in the beta version of block battles but it all changed in the first season of block battles when the ghouls infiltrated they tried to fight back but they lost.

### The Ghouls

The Ghouls are one of the most infamous (and feared) clans on the server. They are a clan that's notorious for conducting countless exploits like Hacking, Elo Boosting, generating Smurf Accounts, and more. The Devs have tried disbanding the clan numerous times, but they always seem to reappear and reorganize elsewhere.

This is also the only clan that requires an Invitation to join. One of the most infamous exploiters, the Command Block Hacker, was actually found to be associated with the Ghouls.

Currently in Season 4, all members of the clan are under constant surveillance by the Developers and Admins, under threat of a Ban, due to the Clan's previous exploits. An Anti-Cheat has also been recently added, to better detect, and ban exploiters and hackers as soon as possible.

The purple blocks clan is fairly inspired on the past actions of the ghosts.
