    Is there a cooldown for joining/leaveing a faction?

    You do not need to pick a side. Be warned, however, that the entire world outside of Spawn is PvP-enabled. As a factionless player, you will be vulnerable to everybody who decides they want to attack you.

    If you choose a side, you will at the very least not be targeted by the players on the same faction as you.

    You can build your base anywhere. When you (your faction) claim a chunk, you take the whole thing, from bedrock to sky.

    You can get a visualization of what chunks are claimed by doing

    Code:
    /f map
    It can be complicated but it will show you what chunks are claimed in your area, and by what faction.

    So yes, players can walk around and see what chunks are claimed by Haxians. If there is nothing visible above ground, they would likely be clued in that you have something underground. You could also use this and make a decoy base or something if you wanted to.

    Just so that i am clear on how claimed land works: if you enter an opposing faction's area and they still have all their power, i cannot break any of their blocks. Can i place blocks in their territory? as in, if a building is otherwise completely sealed, i can place down tnt to gain entry?

    I won't be here for the first few days. But I'll be here for the most part. Good Luck Haxians.

    It's all in the factions documentation that's linked on the main post

    Ok, two things:

    some people have probably thought of making obsidian bases, so my wandering was: how will we destroy these big bases?


    My second question: maybe for destrying bases and stuff we should make it so that everyone can get standard tnt training and whatnot?Also, if that happens some how, hoow will you get so much tnt, i mean like sometimes you need over 64 tnt and that took forever in my singleplayer world.

    The Officers will be all the Helpers (I think?) but they will be able to promote other non-Helpers to Officers when the server opens.
