Sectors Information

Now, you are probably thinking to yourself, "Another plugin that does the same things! Why?!"... but I assure you, I'm bringing new style to the table. I've tried to make it similar to capture the flag, but with a bit more complexity. There are a few general things that I've found enjoyable about a factions plugin:

• Mass player attraction for the server (I myself ran a customized server, by myself and a few friends and had a small player base of 50).
• Action not based on crappy NPC coding, but other skilled players that actually think for themselves.
• New aspect of game play, introducing the feel of stealth, keeping you on your toes in unknown environments, etc.
• Revived the feel of Minecraft and keeps it interesting for endless hours of fun.
• I could go on and on, but we all get it.

So I figured, what could make this even more fun and make it a bit more balanced and complex? Well, I'll give you a breakdown...

• Add some sort of flag system, make players have to defend something to capture territory/land and make the flag valuable.
• Keep the basic features of Factions, but add lots more functionality.
• Make players able to either take land from players or simply attempt to gain access into their chests ( next update includes lock-picking chests ).
• Many more features to come!

You have two choices to learn how to use Sectors from, a video (I made a while back... sorry if it's crappy) or the wall of text below!

Capturing Explanation

• You capturing using Gold Blocks.
• To capture a chunk, first enable Capturing mode ( See commands ).
• After enabling Capturing mode, place the block down in the chunk you wish to claim.
• You and your Sector can view the time left for the capture by right clicking the Gold Block. ( Displays the time remaining in seconds ).
• If the block is broken before the time reaches 0, you will fail at capturing the chunk.
• When you place a gold block you must own a chunk adjacent to it ( AKA: One RIGHT next to it ).
• When placing the block in a chunk owned by another Sector, you must first neutralize it. This consumes the block and you must place another to capture.
• When placing the block in a chunk owned by another Sector, if none of their members are online, you may/may not need to wait additional time!
• Capture times are adjustable via the Config.yml ( See Config Explanation ).
