Factions

## History

Factions is a Game-mode on the Minecraft server, OG-Network. The Factions Game-mode was originally announced on the 14.04.2023 as a community post on TheMisterEpic's YouTube channel! Closed beta testing started on that day, and Bugs and glitches were found in small groups. After the closed beta testing concluded, the open beta testing started on April the 17th at 9:30am EST, though the server wouldn't properly open until 11am EST due to server issues.

## Starting

When players first enter the server, they can join the tutorial in spawn, which shows them around the server. Then, players must pick a Civilisation and can teleport away from spawn using /rtp or other commands. Players can also join Factions to play with other players

## Civilisations

When first joining the factions server, the player is promoted to pick one of three civilisations. The three different Civilisations have different Buffs that activate when the player finds themselves in the Civilisation specific Biome.

Players from the same civilisation cannot attack or hurt each other. They also cannot grief other factions with the same civilisation with TNT or destroy their Faction Core.

### Biome Buffs

All civilisations receive positive buffs when in their native Biome:

1. Speed I
2. Haste I
3. Night Vision
4. Faster elytra speed
5. 30% faster furnace speed
6. faster projectiles (arrows, enderpearls, snowballs, etc)
7. 50% damage from TNT
8. Cheaper villager trades
9. 30% faster mob spawns (spawners)
10. 25% more drops from mobs
11. 50% slower Hunger decrease

### Vegetation speed dependent on Biome

On top of that, certain vegetation grow faster in the different biomes

#### Music discs

Honestly I have no idea but you need to put all music discs in maybe?

#### End Portal(s)

Even though the end is disabled on the server, 2 end portals exist at spawn!

[19.04.23] The filled ender portal has since been removed, this means only 5 players have been in the end so far

## Plug-ins

It is important to note that many of the plug-ins aren't set up as they will be in the final game mode and might be buggy right now.

### Skills

The Skills plugin plays a big part on the OG-Network factions server, as it allows players, that have played for longer, to gain special abilities like faster speed and higher jumps. The Plugin has 17 different skills that can be leveled up by doing different tasks

* Agility
* Architect
* Axes
* Blocking
* Brewing
* Crafting
* Discovery
* Excavation
* Herbalism
