Minecraft Factions servers are a competitive team based gamemode where players create or join factions, work together, claim land, build bases, and raid enemy factions. Most servers reset often so new players have a chance to start fresh and not be too far behind. Many will also have a grace period at the start of the season where TNT is disabled usually for around a week so everyone has time to farm money, buy spawners, and build their base defenses. Once raiding starts, players use TNT cannons and PvP to break into enemy bases and steal spawners and loot. Faction servers usually have an F-Top or factions top leaderboard that ranks the richest factions based on spawner value, land value, or overall wealth. Competitive servers may also have strict rules like cannon speed limits, plus events like raid bases, PvP events, KOTHs, and more.
