VanillaFactions allows survival players to create, join, and edit teams without using the \/team command (or any commands, for that matter). Features include:
\n– Choosing a custom team name.
\n– Choosing a team color from 16 options, with no restrictions on duplicate colors.
\n– Choosing a custom team prefix, which displays before player usernames in chat and nametags.
\n– Support for up to 32 teams in a server.<\/p>\n
By default, teams prevent friendly fire between team members, and allows players to see their invisible team members.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Creating and Disbanding Factions<\/p>\n
1. Make a Banner.
\n2. Give the Banner a custom name in an anvil. This will be the name of your Faction.
\n3. Place a Lodestone.
\n4. Whilst standing directly on top of the Lodestone, look down and place your Banner on top of it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A nametag should appear above the Banner stating your Faction’s name. Additionally, a chat message will state that you have founded a Faction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To disband a Faction, simply destroy the Banner and\/or the Lodestone beneath it. A chat message will announce that your Faction has disbanded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Joining and Leaving Factions<\/p>\n
In order to join a Faction, simply attune a compass to the Lodestone beneath the Faction Banner. A message will be sent in chat to announce that you have joined the Faction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In order to leave a Faction, you must drop Shears on the Faction Banner. This will also send a message in chat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Customizing your Faction<\/p>\n
To change the color of your Faction (affecting player usernames in chat and in nametags, as well as the color of the Glowing effect), drop a piece of Dye on the Faction Banner. A message will be sent to your team notifying them of the change.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To change the player prefix for your Faction (which displays before usernames in chat and nametags), use an anvil to name a nametag your desired prefix. Then, drop the nametag on the Faction Banner. A message will be sent to your team notifying them of the change. **Remember to include a space (or other delimiting character) after the prefix, or else there will be no separation between the prefix text and the username.**<\/p>\n
