OG FACTIONS REBUILT
Real grinding, real raids, real economy. Classic factions modernized.
YOUR GOAL IS SIMPLE
GETTING STARTED
The world plays like SMP. There are no shortcuts to progression.
FACTION CLAIM CORES
NovaCore replaces traditional claiming with Faction Claim Cores. A core is a physical block you place in the world. It creates a chunk-based claim, shaped in a circle around the core. Cores are the heart of every faction. They:
- •Control faction land
- •Determine claim size
- •Store faction money
- •Provide upgrade bonuses
- •Act as the raid objective
- •Influence faction rankings
CORE UPGRADES & POWER
Cores have multiple upgrade levels. Upgrading your core allows you to:
- •Claim more land
- •Unlock beacon-style effects
- •Increase your faction's power and rank
Money stored in your core increases your faction's leaderboard position, contributes to your faction's power, and is at risk of being stolen if raided.
CLAIMS & TERRITORY
Claims are chunk-based but form a circular shape. Claim size depends entirely on your core level. Claims only exist while the core exists.
- •Core placement is limited per player and per faction
- •When a core is destroyed, that claim instantly disintegrates
- •All land becomes raidable
- •Everything inside becomes fully vulnerable
Your base is only protected as long as your core stands.
RAIDING & WARFARE
Raiding is a core pillar of NovaCore. Traditional TNT raiding is enabled.
- •Cannons, breaches, and sand stacking apply
- •Creeper eggs are enabled
- •Obsidian breaks after 8 TNT impacts
- •Cores cannot be mined, they must be destroyed
When a core is destroyed: 50% of stored money returns to the defending faction, 35% drops as a salvageable voucher, 15% is permanently burned from the economy.
ECONOMY & PLAYER MARKETS
NovaCore runs on a player-driven economy. Money is made through farming, automation, mob farms, trading, raiding, and market activity.
- •/shop for base server trading
- •/sell for early-game income
- •/ah for the auction house
- •/trade for direct player trading
- •/orders for player-requested item contracts
The economy is designed so wealth is always useful, and never completely safe.
FACTION POWER & LEADERBOARDS
NovaCore uses a fully custom /f top system. Faction rankings are calculated using a weighted algorithm based on:
- •Claim size
- •Core balances
- •Faction wealth
- •Additional internal factors
/f map is disabled. Factions are not publicly visible. You must explore, scout, and investigate to find enemy bases. At the end of each season, we host an F Top contest rewarding the top 3 factions.
PVP & COMBAT
NovaCore allows full traditional combat.
- •Crystal PvP is enabled
- •Anchor PvP is enabled
- •Netherite gear exists
- •No artificial combat systems
Your power comes from gear progression, enchanting, team coordination, base design, and core defense.
