New! Battle Pass
The Battle Pass is your chance to take on 35 exciting challenges throughout the season, with rewards waiting at every step.
Every challenge is a mystery.As you progress, challenges become tougher, pushing you to improve and stay engaged.
To keep things interesting, you can only see your current challenge and the next one, leaving future challenges a mystery until you unlock them.
Free and premium rewards every season.Both a free and a premium reward track are available, giving everyone a chance to earn prizes. Upgrade to the premium track for 7500 gold to unlock even better rewards, like diamond-tier items, compared to the gold-tier items on the free track. Every season introduces fresh challenges and unique rewards, so no two Battle Pass experiences are the same.
New! Dungeons
Get ready to explore the all-new dungeons, filled with mobs, bosses, and unique challenges.
Unlock dungeons, clear rooms, and repeat!Each dungeon has a series of rooms that must be cleared to advance.
Once you complete a dungeon, it’s permanently unlocked, and you can replay it as often as you want, with a 24-hour cooldown between runs.
Play in three dungeons, solo or with a party.There are four dungeons to start, each with its own theme, difficulty, and rewards.
You can take on these challenges solo or as part of a party of up to 5 players. Playing with a party increases the number of mobs and boss health, making teamwork essential for victory.
A challenge is waiting for you.Complete dungeons to earn special tokens, which can be traded in their unique shops for exclusive rewards. But beware—dying in a dungeon locks you out of it for 24 hours.
No commands or shortcuts are allowed, so strategy and skill are key. Inside the dungeons you will only be able to see your party, keep inventory is enabled, so you can bring your best loadout to clear out a dungeon.
New! Arena Challenges
The Arena Challenge System is part of the Battle Pass and includes 10 arenas, each more difficult than the last. In these arenas, you must defeat mobs to complete the challenge.
The first arena needs 500 kills, and the last one needs 25,000 kills.
Different arenas, with multiple mobs.Each arena has 2-4 types of mobs. Stronger mobs are slower but harder to kill, while weaker mobs are faster but easier to defeat.
As you move to higher arenas, mobs become tougher, but the rewards also get better. You can also earn Boss Tokens, a special currency that drops more often in the higher arenas.
Fight other players!Inside the arena, you cannot use commands and must leave through the exit portal
You can fight alongside others in the same arena or take on the challenge alone, but be aware, that PvP is enabled and your loadout is at risk!
New! Custom Enchantments
We are excited to announce that all custom enchantments will be returning to OpFactions!
The system will return to its previous state, allowing you to purchase enchantment books using the /enchanter command.
This means you can once again explore and unlock powerful custom enchants to enhance your loadouts.
Updated! Factions PointsFaction Points have been rebalanced as per community request.
We feel like Faction Points have been an essential part in keeping OpFactions as a gamemode exciting, but after discussing it with the community we noticed that a lot of you feel like the points are playing to big of a role in the competition, which is why for this season we want to tune them down, to see how that plays out.
So for the upcoming seasons, we have made the following changes:
Reduction in points earnedWe have reduced the amount of points you earn for certain tasks, these being the following:
- Capturing raiding outpost (30m): 50 points > 35 Points
- Capturing any other outpost (60m): 10 > 5 Points
- Killing a boss: 10 > 3 Points
- Capturing a KOTH: 100 > 50 Points
- Capturing the Stronghold: 150 Points > 75 Points
Removal of some point-earning mechanicsWe have removed the ability to earn points from certain tasks, these being the following:
- Killing players in the Warzone
- Killing endermites
- Killing mobs from spawners
Changed value of Faction value per pointWe have reduced the value a point gives to your Faction value, from being previously $30 billion, it will now give half, so $15 billion value per point.
We hope with these changes to have a good compromise with what works and what players want, points will still be party of the game, but less aggressive, so spawners will be coming back in to play as well.
Updated! Fund System
The fund system has been changed to make it more rewarding for players who work together.
It is no longer global but is now faction-based. This means each faction must unlock higher tiers on their own.
To make this fair, the prices for unlocking funds have been reduced a lot, so it is easier for factions to progress.
Work together with your faction and start unlocking the funds for great rewards!
Updated! Faction Spawners ValueWe have made changes to spawners to bring back excitement and competition!
Spawners will now increase by 100% of their purchase value every 24 hours, instead of the previous 20%.
This change is designed to make spawner progression more competitive and rewarding
Updated! Mob DropsThe economy has been updated to make grinding spawners more rewarding!
All mob drop prices & minerals have been increased by x1.5, giving players a stronger incentive to focus on spawner-based strategies.
Fixed! Bugs
We’ve put in a lot of work to polish and fix as many bugs as possible on the OpFactions server.
We carefully reviewed all reported issues and successfully fixed them.
