About this project

What does Faction Friction add?

FACTION FRICTION

Geopolitical warfare & territory control

Rebranded from "Raided" + Note to users!

This is the standalone rewrite of the old RAIDED mod. I dropped the dependency on Open Parties and Claims to build a complete faction, claims, and war system from scratch. If you have Raided then update soon as raided will no longer get updates!

Progression

Three Tiers

Start as a Team, upgrade to a Colony, then establish a Country. Tiering up requires a configurable amount of time and members.		 3-Letter Acronyms

Faction names auto-generate a 3-letter tag (e.g., "All The Lemon" becomes [ATL]) for chat and the tab list.
Custom Colors

Leaders pick a faction color on creation. It shows up on the chunk map, chat prefixes, and the UI.		 Auto-Transfer

If the leader leaves or gets kicked, ownership passes to the next highest rank. If everyone leaves, it auto-disbands.

Claims & Protection

  • Absolute Protection: Claimed land blocks enemies from breaking/placing blocks, opening chests, using doors, pouring liquids, or throwing ender pearls inside.
  • Anti-Griefing: TNT, creepers, endermen, and modded bombs can't destroy blocks in your claims.
  • Plot System: Landlords can assign specific chunks to players as personal plots. Only the owner and can build there.
  • Auto-Borders: Leaders can pay diamonds to auto-generate walls around territory. It scans the surface, builds underwater, ignores plants, and won't charge you for blocks that are already generated.
Ranks

The Ladder: Creator → Leader → Co-Leader → Commander → Military → Landlord → Member.

Permissions: Landlords handle claiming. Commanders launch attacks. Leaders declare wars and set capitals.

Management: Invite, promote, demote, and kick players right from the UI.		 War System

Justification: Leaders have to justify a war before attacking, which takes a configurable amount of days.

Targeted Sieges: Commanders attack specific chunk coordinates instead of just turning on global PvP. Prep phases give defenders time to show up.

Breaching: Attackers break a set number of blocks to breach. Capture pauses if defenders enter the chunk, and ticks down if attackers leave.

Capitals: Leaders set a 2x2 capital chunk. If an enemy captures any capital chunk, the war ends instantly and they take 25% of the loser's land.

UI & Comms

  • The Menu: Press 'F' to open a dark-mode UI with green hover glows. Panels resize automatically so nothing overflows.
  • War HUD: Active sieges show a HUD at the top of the screen with the current phase (Prep, Active, Capturing, Paused, Surrendering) and a live timer.
  • Chunk Map: Look at a 9x9 grid around you. Hover over chunks to see coords and who owns them.
  • Chat: Use /fc for private faction chat. You can also send encrypted messages straight to enemy leaders.
  • Login Alerts: If a war starts while you're offline, you get a [WAR LOG] catch-up message when you log back in.
  • In-Game Tutorial: Read a multi-page guide built directly into the UI to learn how the mod works.
