How do I play Minecraft Wars?
First, find your way out of spawn and into the wilderness. Right next to /spawn there is a building full of useful commands and tips to assist you in your play on the server.
Join or create a Faction to gain the land protection and form a team to build your very own city-state or civilization. This allows you to participate in the Faction politics and will prevent other players from modifying your land, opening doors and accessing chests. Another Faction can only claim the land if your Faction's power goes below the amount of land that it owns, at this point any faction at war with you can take your land do with it as they see fit. It is best to play defensively in order to succeed on this server.. Other Factions may rob your farms and vaults, invade your mines, climb through windows, steal resources and siege your base with TNT.
TNT cannons are allowed and encouraged as a means of warfare. A faction that is offline will be exempt from TNT damage 5 minutes after the last player in the faction logs off. Obsidian is a viable defense from TNT attacks. While it is not indestructible, it will take 9 direct hits from TNT to destroy and regenerate it's durability after 20 minutes. Additionally, the Cannons plugin is available as an alternative. Lava and Water walls are not allowed.
Players can place a Bounty on anyone that can be collected by killing the player the bounty is on. The price for a Bounty starts at 2000 CC, including the fee for it's posting. Use /bounty for information and /bounty list to view the list of current bounties. When a bounty is collected, the reward will go to the the player who fulfilled the listing and a percentage of emeralds will be taken from the target.
What is the factions plugin and how does it work?
Factions is a Minecraft server plugin that allows for the forming of groups (or factions). Each faction can claim and control land, ally or declare hostilities with other factions on the server. Factions have there own private chat channels on the server for communication. The chat toggle commands include: /f c f -For faction only chat, /f c a -For Faction alliance chat, and /f c p -For the public chat For a complete list of commands, see the factions help page by doing /f help
How do I find a faction to join?
There are a couple ways: 1. Send out a shout in game (open chat with 't' then place a '!' before your message to shout). 2. Post a thread in the Minecraft Wars subreddit and introduce yourself. (Link in the at the bottom)
What factions are there?
Factions change all the time, alliances, collapse and new factions rise from the ashes. Use /f list ingame for a list of factions and some stats. There is also a list of some of the top factions by 'power' in the sidebar of the Minecraft Wars subreddit.
There are no factions recruiting!
Use /f create and start your own! It costs 30 emeralds to start a new Faction. This allows you to claim chunks of protected land.
How do I make a CreativeGate?
Make a 'Portal Gate' out of a combination of blocks. Place a diamond block at the base of the Gate and hit it with a clock. The Portal should activate if the gate was made correctly. The Portal will link to another active gate with matching combination.
How do I create a trading shop?
Follow these steps: 1. Place a chest where you want the shop and a sign above the chest. 2. Edit the sign leaving top line blank. 3. The 2nd line is the stack size of the item you are selling. 4. The 3rd line consists of price, 'B' or 'S' separated by a colon ':', for example - 'B 500 : S 300'. 5. Place items in the chest to Sell.
How do I make money?
There are a few ways: 1. Trade resources with another player, faction, or the market for emeralds. 2. Use ChestShop to trade items with other players. Chestshops can be protected using Faction lands. 3. Fulfill Bounties placed on another player. Kill them to collect the reward and cause them to lose money too.
4.) Mine for emeralds and add them to your vault.
How big is the server?
The Overworld has a 5,000 block radius, the Nether has a 625 block radius, and the End has a 1,000 block radius. All the worlds have invisible walls at their border.s If you try to go beyond this wall you will be knocked backwards 3 blocks or teleported to the server spawn.
X feature isn't working, why not?
Minecraft and the plugins we use are being actively developed, there will be some bugs/glitches from time to time. If you see something that isn't working, that isn't addressed in the 'bugs' section feel free to bring it to the attention of one of the admins, if it is something we can address, we will look into it. Often times, these are known bugs that may be out of our control.
Somebody just killed me/messed up my base/ate my puppy!
Minecraft wars is a PVP server - at some point, somebody will try to do you harm. Expect it. Relish it. Plot your sweet sweet revenge. Having said that, exploiting bugs/glitches to unfair advantage is frowned upon. We live by the honor system - warfare is encouraged, griefing to the point of misery is not.
Love the server! Work your way up to the top and try and rule the world! Sooo Fun!!!Love the server! Work your way up to the top and try and rule the world! Sooo Fun!!!
The Factions plugin makes it RTS like. You will need to play strategically in order to survive and maintain a base. If the Leader's power goes to -20, the Faction will disband and no longer exist.
Though what Alyusha said, PVP is about the same here as anywhere else, it is still minecraft afterall. However, we try to make the game a little more strategy oriented with focus on team based battles and raids. The world is currently 10x10km, it takes some coordination and strategy in order to thrive and be successful.
You and your followers can create civilizations using your sheer manpower or smart politics and compete with other civilizations until only one stands. The aim of the game is to prosper and crush your enemies.

Imo its not rts but I guess technically it is real time and it is a strategy thing but its not different than any other server in terms of pvp imo.
