ZenaFactions is a plugin that introduces factions into your game. This plugin is still very much in development, consider it a Beta version. It probably contains quite a few bugs. On the more positive side of things, since I'm actively working on the plugin (expect updates every day/ every couple of days) these should get fixed quite quickly. I'm also very open to feedback on current mechanics/features and suggestions for future features.

Why use this plugin instead of a more mature one?

This plugin is still heavily under development. This means that I'm very interested in server owner feedback. Consider yourself a béta tester, in return for which you will probably receive the features you desire. So, ZenaFactions is a fairly decently specced, yet sometimes buggy alternative to other faction plugins with the benefit of your requested features most likely ending up in the plugin.

Current Features

• Faction Economy [Vault integration]: Factions have their own bank accounts, accessible to high ranking members.
• Faction Loans: Factions can create loans to make money using their large cash reserve. Once a loan has been created, a player can take on a loan. Once the loan expires, the total amount + interest will be deducted from the player's account. If the player doesn't have enough money to pay for the loan, a new loan with a higher interest rate will be created.
• Faction Warps: Factions can create warps. Warps are only available for members within a faction, and cost money to use. Warps can be restricted to certain ranks and can be taxed (faction makes money from a player using their warp)
• Faction territory [GriefPrevention integration]: ZenaFactions has GriefPrevention Integration; players can only create GP claims within their Faction Territory! Claiming the wilderness costs faction influence.
• Wars: Factions can go to war with each other to steal influence and territory [WIP!]
• Dynmap Add-on [Dynmap integration]: I also made a dynmap add-on that displays faction territory and warps (more to come in the future)
• Discord Add-On [Discord integration]: I created a discord add-on for the plugin that integrates your discord server with your ZenaFactions install. The discord bot sends messages of ZenaFactions related events to your discord members!
• Performance: almost everything this plugin does is handled on a separate thread, so it won't slow your server thread down much.
• Faction Banners: Faction leaders can add a custom banner to their faction that members can use in their builds
• Customizable Ranks: players can create an unlimited amount of their own custom ranks/roles and assign permissions to each role. This includes permissions for warps!

Dependencies

• Vault + Economy Plugin (Vault: Latest version, Econ plugin: whichever one suits you)
• GriefPrevention (Latest version, GPRealEstate jar works too)
• Java Runtime Environment supporting at least Java `11

Roadmap

Based on suggestions by you!

• Alliances and Wars overhaul: add alliances between factions, not sure about the specific mechanics. Finish the wars system, make new system for making demands etc.
• Discord Integration: create a new plugin allowing server admins to link their discord to the server. It'd be cool if the plugin could send messages to all members in a chatroom (linked to a faction) if their faction is attacked for instance. [Finished!]
• Revamp of ranks and permissions: revamp the whole rank system and replace it with a more flexible one. Faction owners should be able to create new ranks (not just limited to 3) and assign them specific permissions.  [Finished!]
