ZenaFactions is a plugin that introduces factions into your game. This plugin is still very much in development, consider it a Beta version. It probably contains quite a few bugs. On the more positive side of things, since I'm actively working on the plugin (expect updates every day/ every couple of days) these should get fixed quite quickly. I'm also very open for feedback on current mechanics/features and suggestions for future features.
Why use this plugin instead of a more mature one?
This plugin is still heavily under development. This means that I'm very interested in server owner feedback. Consider yourself a béta tester, in return for which you will probably receive the features you desire. So, ZenaFactions is a fairly decently specced, yet sometimes buggy alternative to other faction plugins with the benefit of your requested features most likely ending up in the plugin.
Current Features
- Faction Economy [Vault integration]: Factions have their own bank accounts, accessible to high-ranking members.
- Faction Loans: Factions can create loans to make money using their large cash reserve. Once a loan has been created, a player can take on a loan. Once the loan expires, the total amount + interest will be deducted from the player's account. If the player doesn't have enough money to pay for the loan, a new loan with a higher interest rate will be created.
- Faction Warps: Factions can create warps. Warps are only available for members within a faction, and cost money to use. Warps can be restricted to certain ranks and can be taxed (faction makes money from a player using their warp)
- Faction territory [GriefPrevention integration]: ZenaFactions has GriefPrevention Integration; players can only create GP claims within their Faction Territory! Claiming the wilderness costs faction influence.
- Wars: Factions can go to war with each other to steal influence and territory [WIP!]
- Dynmap Add-on [Dynmap integration]: I also made a dynmap add-on that displays faction territory and warps (more to come in the future)
- Discord Add-On [Discord integration]: I created a discord add-on for the plugin that integrates your discord server with your ZenaFactions install. The discord bot sends messages of ZenaFactions related events to your discord members!
- Performance: almost everything this plugin does is handled on a separate thread, so it won't slow your server thread down much.
- Faction Banners: Faction leaders can add a custom banner to their faction that members can use in their builds
- Customizable Ranks: players can create an unlimited amount of their own custom ranks/roles and assign permissions to each role. This includes permissions for warps!
- Vault (Latest version)
- GriefPrevention (Latest version, GPRealEstate jar works too)
- Java Runtime Environment supporting at least Java 11
