What is WarMod?

Every player builds a base made of one Main Flag and three Outpost Flags. Everyone starts on their own team. When every player has pressed WAR, the war begins: hunt down enemy outposts, capture their headquarters, and absorb the defeated into your team. The last independent team standing wins.

Everything that matters is decided by the server: mining, captures, votes, ownership and victory. There is no way to fake a capture from the client, and registered flags cannot be broken, moved or blown up once the war starts.

How a war plays out

1. Prepare - Place your Main Flag, then three Outpost Flags (A, B and C) within 1,000 blocks of it. Name your base, pick a colour and add a banner.
2. Vote - Press WAR in the Main Flag screen. The war starts automatically once every player is online, set up and has voted.
3. Hunt - Enemy outposts are marked in the world. Mine them with a pickaxe (a diamond pickaxe takes about 10 seconds). Defenders are warned instantly.
4. Capture - Once all three outposts of a base are down, its Main Flag is revealed. Stand in the glowing capture field for 30 seconds.
5. Conquer - The defeated team, and every base it controlled, join you. Their flag goes dark for good.
6. Win - When only one independent team remains, the war is over.

Features

• Two custom flag blocks with real banner rendering; during a capture the defender's banner lowers while the attacker's rises
• Capture field: a glowing ring on the ground marks exactly where to stand, follows the terrain and fills as the capture progresses
• Main Flag screen with base name, owner, controlling team, banner preview, outpost status and distance, requirements and votes
• Shared team progress: any teammate can continue an outpost or capture where another left off
• Defender warnings: "WARNING: OUTPOST B UNDER ATTACK - ATTACKER: PlayerName"
• Defenders can fight back: standing in the field reverses an enemy capture
• In-world waypoints for the objectives you may attack (no minimap mod needed)
• Flag Finder: a handheld tool that says whether you are getting closer or farther from the nearest enemy flag
• Real conquest: members, every controlled base and all progress transfer to the conqueror
• Locked and protected once the war starts: no breaking, moving, exploding or pushing flags, even in creative mode
• Persistent across restarts, chunk unloading and reconnects
• Operator toolkit including solo-testing commands

Crafting recipes

All three items are shaped recipes and are also in the WarMod creative tab.

Outpost Flag

Main Flag

Flag Finder

The Flag Finder

Hold it in either hand during a war. The action bar says whether you are getting closer or getting farther from the nearest enemy flag, with a rough range. A chime plays when the trend changes (high pitch = closer, low pitch = farther). It always points at the nearest flag you can attack: an outpost, or a Main Flag once all three of its outposts are down. It never shows an exact distance and only uses targets the server already lets you see.

FAQ

Do all players need the mod? Yes: install it on the server and on every client.

Can players join late? No. The roster locks when the war starts. Reconnecting players resume as normal.

What if someone never comes back? Their team can still be conquered, so the war can always end.

Can flags be griefed? Not once the war has started.

Does adding a banner use it up? No. The design is copied.

Can I try it alone? Yes: /war testbase, place your own flags, then press WAR or run /war forcestart.
