Factions Minecraft Servers for 26.1

Claim land, build a base, expect it to be raided

Factions is the raiding gamemode. You make a faction with friends, claim chunks, fill a base with obsidian and hoppers, and then somebody finds it, breaches the wall with a TNT cannon and takes everything inside. Power is the currency: you lose it when you die, and a faction on negative power can be claimed over by anyone.

Almost every server layers extras on top — custom enchants, envoy drops, king-of-the-hill events, printer mode for building, and a schedule that tells you when the fighting happens. Seasons usually run four to eight weeks, end with a payout, and then the map wipes and everyone starts again from a wooden pickaxe.

Going in solo is rough, because factions rewards organised groups with a rota. Join with people, or join a faction that is recruiting. Read the rules on cannoning, insiding and alt accounts before you build your first base: those three differ wildly between servers and they define what counts as a fair fight.
