ZenaFactions
ZenaFactions is a plugin that introduces factions into your game. This plugin is still very much in development, consider it a Beta version. It probably contains quite a few bugs. On the more positive side of things, since I'm actively working on the plugin (expect updates every day/ every couple of days) these should get fixed quite quickly. I'm also very open to feedback on current mechanics/features and suggestions for future features.
Why use this plugin instead of a more mature one?
This plugin is still heavily under development. This means that I'm very interested in server owner feedback. Consider yourself a béta tester, in return for which you will probably receive the features you desire. So, ZenaFactions is a fairly decently specced, yet sometimes buggy alternative to other faction plugins with the benefit of your requested features most likely ending up in the plugin.
Current Features
- Faction Economy [Vault integration]: Factions have their own bank accounts, accessible to high ranking members.
- Faction Loans: Factions can create loans to make money using their large cash reserve. Once a loan has been created, a player can take on a loan. Once the loan expires, the total amount + interest will be deducted from the player's account. If the player doesn't have enough money to pay for the loan, a new loan with a higher interest rate will be created.
- Faction Warps: Factions can create warps. Warps are only available for members within a faction, and cost money to use. Warps can be restricted to certain ranks and can be taxed (faction makes money from a player using their warp)
- Faction territory [GriefPrevention integration]: ZenaFactions has GriefPrevention Integration; players can only create GP claims within their Faction Territory! Claiming the wilderness costs faction influence.
- Wars: Factions can go to war with each other to steal influence and territory [WIP!]
- Dynmap Add-on [Dynmap integration]: I also made a dynmap add-on that displays faction territory and warps (more to come in the future)
- Discord Add-On [Discord integration]: I created a discord add-on for the plugin that integrates your discord server with your ZenaFactions install. The discord bot sends messages of ZenaFactions related events to your discord members!
- Performance: almost everything this plugin does is handled on a separate thread, so it won't slow your server thread down much.
- Faction Banners: Faction leaders can add a custom banner to their faction that members can use in their builds
- Customizable Ranks: players can create an unlimited amount of their own custom ranks/roles and assign permissions to each role. This includes permissions for warps!
Dependencies
- Vault + Economy Plugin (Vault: Latest version, Econ plugin: whichever one suits you)
- GriefPrevention (Latest version, GPRealEstate jar works too)
- Java Runtime Environment supporting at least Java `11

Roadmap
Based on suggestions by you!
- Alliances and Wars overhaul: add alliances between factions, not sure about the specific mechanics. Finish the wars system, make new system for making demands etc.
- Discord Integration:
create a new plugin allowing server admins to link their discord to the server. It'd be cool if the plugin could send messages to all members in a chatroom (linked to a faction) if their faction is attacked for instance.[Finished!] - Revamp of ranks and permissions:
revamp the whole rank system and replace it with a more flexible one. Faction owners should be able to create new ranks (not just limited to 3) and assign them specific permissions.[Finished!]
when i try to create a faction it asks me to send it again but when i do it just results in this error message : An internal error occured while attempting to perform this command, also i have greif prevention vault a economy plugin and am in java 16
Hey, the wiki seems to have been deleted. I can't see any commands now.
When I type /Createfaction (Then the faction name) It says to repeat the command and i do but it glitches out
In reply to StoutCrow:
im having the same problem
I PM'd you, I am having the same problem as @SnootBooperBoi
can anybody tell me what I may be doing wrong? Whenever I use a command it just spits back out an instruction on how to use the command even though I'm sure I used the command right, I would appreciate some help.
In reply to SnootBooperBoi:
For help with getting the plugin to work you can PM me here, or on the Spigot forum, or on planet minecraft
yo i was wondering what the commands were. im making a server and adding a factions world to it and i want to use your plugin. i just dont know what the commands are. i tried /f or /factions it didnt work [i fixed the problem by going on the wiki]
Hi! I am pretty interested to use this plugin for a project of mine, I would like to ask you some questions in PM.
In reply to Amunoyt_:

In reply to shahidosborn17:
Check if you've installed all the required dependencies:
1. Vault (latest version)
2. Any economy plugin
3. GriefPrevention
4. Update your Java install to at least Java 11. A lot of people are having issues because they're still using Java 8. You can check your java version by typing java -version in the terminal/cmd
Hey. When I look at the files in WinSCP, there isn't a folder associated with this plugin. It is just the .JAR file. PS, I downloaded from the plugin installer in pebblehost.
In reply to hankpankyspanky:
Hi! If you put the .jar file in your plugins folder, the plugin will create the ZenaFactions folder and a bunch of files on server start-up.
I have error:
[21:56:45 ERROR]: [ZenaFactions] [ZenaFactions] Plugin disabled, no Vault dependency found!
But Vault installed. What can I do?
is there a list where we can see all of the commands available to use?
In reply to JoshuaMasse:
Not yet, but I think that's something really worth creating (since the plugin has a lot of commands). I'll see what I can do :)

There is a wiki now!
