Factions
Factions at a glance
What a faction is, what it is for, and the concepts to know before you dive in.
Updated on September 24, 2026 by joueur-1800bd0d2 min readContents
On PVPFACTION, nobody plays alone for long: a faction is a team of players who claim territory,
defend it, grow rich and raid the others. Almost everything about your faction goes through a
single command, /f (short for /factions).
Key concepts
| Concept | In one sentence | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Territory | The chunks (16 × 16 block areas) your faction has claimed: nobody else can build there. | Territory |
| Power | Every member brings some; it sets how many chunks your faction can hold. | Power |
| Ranks | Leader, co-leader, moderator, member, recruit: each has its own rights. | Ranks and permissions |
| Bank | A shared treasury that pays for territory, the shield and upgrades. | The faction bank |
| Relations | Ally, truce, neutral or enemy: they decide who can attack you. | Alliances and enemies |
| Raids | When a faction holds more land than its power allows, others can take some of it. | Raids and overclaiming |
| Level | The faction earns XP (missions, paid upkeep, enemy kills) and unlocks bonuses. | Faction level |
Where to start
- Create your faction with
/f create <name>or join one that invites you: see Creating or joining a faction. - Claim your first chunk with
/f claimwhere you want to settle. The first one costs $500, taken from the faction bank: remember to put money in with/f money deposit <amount>. - Set your home with
/f home setinside your territory, so you can come back with/f home. - Open permissions to your members with
/f perm: when a faction is created, members and recruits have no rights at all, not even building at home.
Tip:

Your faction on the website
Every faction has its own public page on the website, with its members, and the faction leaderboard is fed directly by the game.
Special zones
- Wilderness: everything nobody owns. You can build freely there, and dying there costs power.
- SafeZone: no building or breaking, and no player-versus-player combat.
- WarZone: no building, but combat is allowed and every death there costs power.
