Territory Management

Claiming Strategies

Single claim: Stand in a chunk and use /f claim

Auto-claim: Walk around and automatically claim chunks: 

/f claim auto

Claim patterns:

  • /f claim fill - Fill in unclaimed chunks within your territory
  • /f claim square <radius> - Claim a square area
  • /f claim circle <radius> - Claim a circular area

Unclaiming

Similar commands exist for unclaiming:

  • /f unclaim - Unclaim single chunk
  • /f unclaim auto - Auto-unclaim as you walk
  • /f unclaim fill - Unclaim pattern
  • /f unclaim all - Unclaim all territory

Home and Warps

Set your faction home: 

/f sethome

Teleport to faction home: 

/f home

Create faction warps: 

/f warp add <name>

List warps: 

/f warp list

Use a warp: 

/f warp go <warp>

Remove a warp: 

/f warp remove <warp>

Permissions and Access

Faction Permissions

Factions have a detailed permission system that controls what different ranks and relations can do in your territory.

View permissions: 

/f perm list

Set permissions: 

/f perm set

View flags: 

/f flag list

Set flags: 

/f flag set

Territory Access

You can grant or deny specific players access to specific chunks:

Grant access: 

/f access grant <player>

Deny access: 

/f access deny <player>

View access: 

/f access view

Economy

If your server has economy integration enabled, factions can have banks.

View faction balance: 

/f money balance

Deposit money: 

/f money deposit <amount>

Withdraw money: 

/f money withdraw <amount>

Transfer between factions: 

/f money ff <amount> <faction> <faction>

Transfer from faction to player: 

/f money fp <amount> <faction> <player>

Transfer from player to faction: 

/f money pf <amount> <player> <faction>

Best Practices

Territory Management

  1. Always claim before building - unclaimed builds can be destroyed
  2. Build away from chunk borders to avoid edge cases
  3. Use /f seechunk to visualize chunk boundaries
  4. Create a buffer zone of claimed chunks around your base
  5. Don't build too close to enemies unless prepared for war
  6. Plan your claims strategically - quality over quantity
  7. Monitor your power to ensure you can maintain your claims

Faction Leadership

  1. Set clear rules for your faction members
  2. Use the MOTD to communicate important information
  3. Manage permissions carefully to prevent griefing
  4. Maintain good relationships with potential allies
  5. Set up a faction home in a secure location
  6. Create warps for important locations like farms, storage, or gathering points
  7. Monitor your power regularly with /f status
  8. Keep the faction bank well-funded for emergencies

Permission Management

  1. Start restrictive - it's easier to grant permissions than revoke them
  2. Use ranks effectively - create a hierarchy that reflects trust levels
  3. Test permissions in a safe area before applying them widely
  4. Document your permission setup in the faction MOTD or description
  5. Review permissions regularly as your faction grows
  6. Use territory access for sensitive areas like storage rooms

Economic Strategy

  1. Establish a faction tax system if your server supports it
  2. Keep a reserve in the faction bank for emergencies
  3. Invest in territory - claimed land is a valuable asset
  4. Trade with allied factions for mutual benefit
  5. Use the faction bank for shared resources and projects
