Jar Download link: Spigot Page

This is a plugin that suits your factions server. Newbie factions are now automatically protected by this plugin until they meet one of the criteria or kill another players.

Features :
Enhanced mechanism : This plugin would check whether the factions meets the requirements of Newbie-Faction. Criteria :

1. members number does not exceed a certain amount (configurable, default 3)
2. do not have ally (which their ally could exploit newbie-factions as a storage method.)
3. do not kill players. (if they do, they will lose their newbie-faction tag for X seconds, X is configurable)

When a faction is regarded as Newbie-Faction :

1. their faction flags [ pvp, explosion, offlineexplsion ] are automatically set to false, preventing them from looting or losing power.
2. members can not place TNT all the world.
3. non-faction players can't place TNT either
