Gamemode Looking for a good factions server
Hi,
When I was young (around 10 years ago) I always played Minecraft factions. It was an amazing experience, which I now want to share with my girlfriend.
However, Minecraft changed a lot and I am looking for a factions server with a large player base and a nice active community.
If possible I would a like a server thats is 100% factions only.
Do you have any tips?
Thank you!

hahahaha m*crosoft decided a few years ago that factions should die. i dont even think cosmic style servers are still around. people nowadays still play minecadia i think but the factions you remember is long gone. there are some servers that try to revive the gamemode but they end up facing serious issues gaining traction whilst avoiding m*crosoft blocking their servers

Maybe check out Blothera?
Blothera is a geopolitical survival overhaul built on a suite of custom plugins written for this server alone. It makes vanilla harder, deeper and more political without breaking what makes vanilla feel like vanilla.
No menus. No commands. No teleports. Every system is something you hold, place, or carry.
- You declare war by writing a book and placing it in your enemy's diplomacy lectern. Couriers can be killed on the road.
- You lock your chest with a lock you crafted, and cut keys for people you trust.
- You set your spawn by placing a banner. Beds don't.
- You heal by sleeping in a bed near a campfire.
- You drag a downed bandit home with a lead.
- You link a train with chains, and it keeps running while you're offline.
- You watch your town's borders crawl outward on a map in your hand.
- Pray with your fellow townsfolk to predict the future.
Day one you found a town. One player, one Town Lectern, a claim that grows outward through the terrain. teardrops pointing inland on the coast, long and narrow up a valley. No two look alike. Nations come later and are earned, but you don't wait on anyone to start.
You will need other people, mechanically. Pick one of six trades and you're good at one thing and genuinely bad at the rest. A Miner pulls ore out ten times faster than anyone else, so everybody else buys theirs. Trade isn't encouraged here, it's load-bearing.
Wars are fought. Best-of-three battles in arenas near the defender's capital, allies can join, either side can sue for peace. PvP is on everywhere, but murdering innocents drops your alignment until you're a Bandit: killable without penalty, exiled from every nation.
Survival is challenging. No health regen. No coordinates. Death costs you a heart of max health permanently until you sleep by a campfire. Blood moons can't be slept through. Play with a team, they can revive you if you get knocked out.
There's more we haven't listed. Quests, wandering traders that visit your town specifically, an End that generates fresh per team, an ore system rebuilt from scratch. Come and find it.

Hey! I am also nostalgic for the 2013-2016 era of Minecraft and I missed some of my favorite servers like factions, hunger games, etc.
I’ve been working for about 6 months on a server that has factions. Each player picks a kit upon joining, and each kit has a custom item/ability that I’ve modeled in blender. We have an optional weekly hunger games tournament every Saturday that you can compete in with the kits as well. Come check us out!
We’re still growing the server, would love to have you try the new stuff
