The OpFactions reset is here, once again filled with some things that needed to be changed & required adjustments.
For this season it is time to get out of the December feels, make some required changes and add some small new features that will make OpFactions even better.
Below you can find most of the changes we have made and what has been added, I’m sure I forgot to mention it all but I’m sure giving it a good read over you will be familiar with most you're going to see. If there is however still something you want changing, feel free to mention it on this thread before its release, we can still consider making the change.
Are you ready to hop into a new season?! Say no more. The update will be released this Friday, February 4th, 2022.
It will begin with a one-week grace period, after which a map lasting 7 weeks will begin.

To celebrate the end of the season, we will be hosting an end-of-season event.

Changelog
Here is the list of changes for this reset. I would recommend giving it a good read-over to make sure you are familiar with everything you are going to see.
New! Spawn
EIt is time for a new season, and what better way to do that than with a brand new spawn. Like every season the spawn will be filled with information & features, here is a list of the things you can find around spawn.
A new spawn with a nice desert theme.
The spawn contains multiple KOTHs again.
Looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features. 
The Pika Drops make their return after being gone for the December month, but this season is filled with new rewards.
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
Updated! Worlds
As every season needs a spawn we will also need some worlds for you to start your base in. This season we decided to lower the size of the overworld as well.
There will be a total of 20 corners, these being the following
OverWorld (/spawn)The border for the overworld will be 10,000 x 10,000 (-5,000 to 5,000) - The spawn is located in the middle.
KOTHs will be located at each side of /spawn close to it.
The End (/warp end)The border for the end world will be 10,000 x 10,000 (-5,000 to 5,000) - The warp is located in the middle.
Flat sandstone will be placed from Y:1 to Y:30.
This warp counts with 1 KOTH.
Desert World (/warp desert)The border for the desert world will be 7,500 x 7,500 (-3,750 to 3,750) - The warp is located in the middle.
Flat yellow clay will be placed from Y:1 to Y:30.
An outpost will be located within this world.
Snow World (/warp Snow)The border for the Jungle world will be 7,500 x 7,500 (-3,750 to 3,750) The warp is located in the middle.
Flat Snow will be placed from Y:1 to Y:30.
This warp counts with 1 KOTH.
Jungle World (/warp jungle)The border for the knight world will be 7,500 x 7,500 (-3,750 to 3,750) - The warp is located in the middle.
Flat green clay will be placed from Y:1 to Y:30.
This warp counts with 1 KOTH.
New! Custom SkillsAfter the community poll we hosted on our Discord we came to the conclusion it is time to replace McMMO with our custom skills feature.
This season we will be introducing our new and custom version of McMMO, which we call "Skills", and this reset will come along with brand-new skills. The skills provide an experience and leveling mechanic for different actions which are especially bounded to OpFactions.
Think about them as if they were McMMO, as you are able to gain experience and levels in farming, mining, enchanting, woodcutting, and combat aspects. Leveling up these skills will provide you with some great and bigger rewards, such as getting a higher chance of double drops from those skills, or even better perks!
You will require EXP in order to level up your skills, the EXP you will earn from certain actions and give you better abilities. You can view all the available abilities in the /skillsinfo menu.
The following skills have been added to OpFactions.
Lumberjack - Obtainable by breaking wood
Miner - Obtainable by breaking ores
Farmer - Obtainable by breaking crops
Wizard - Obtainable by buying books/tinkering items/combining items
Swords - Obtainable by using your sword
Axes - Obtainable by using your axe
Alchemist - Obtainable by brewing potions
Builder - Obtainable by using genbuckets
Banker - Obtainable by selling in /shop
Slayer - Obtainable by killing mobs
Archery - Obtainable by using your bow
New! IExperience flip
A real winner only wins by gambling their weeks of progress away... I mean by winning doubled the amount! To encourage some more trading and gambling around players we decided to add 2 new flip modes to OpFactions
Experience Flip (/expflip)
With the /expflip you will be able to gamble with experience, place a bet and pick a side, create the flip, and wait for someone to accept your bet.
We wish you the best of luck, and do not lose all you worked for with your faction, that never ends well!
New! Sand Wand
The sand wand will make things easier for you to clean up. A sand wand works like any other wand and has a limited amount of uses.
To use a sand wand, simply click a sand pillar in your faction claims and it will instantly clear out a full pillar. This feature has been suggested by the community and we think it's something that will make your faction experience a bit easier and more maintainable.
New! Harvester Hoes
Harvester hoes have been around for a while, so it is time to give them a quality of life update. We will be adding a different type of Harvester Hoes that you can unlock.
Your harvester hoe can now also level up to a maximum of level 5.
Normal Harvester Hoe
Items go straight into your inventory.
Frenzy Harvester Hoe
Items go straight into your inventory.
10% Chance (per level) to double the loot per hoe level.
Golden Harvester Hoe
Items go straight into your inventory.
10% Chance (per level) to automatically sell the harvested loot in the /shop for x2.5 the price.
Shopping Harvester Hoe
Automatically sell the harvested loot in the /shop.
Updated! TagsWho doesn't love some more tags? We have added a few tags in the theme of OpFactions that you can collect. Some of the tags we have added are:
Patcher
TrashTalker
200ms
FTop
Sheesh
Simp
Hack
L
69
With these changes, we hope that the milestones will have a bit more impact on your day to day grinding, and we would like to see a goal being completed by the whole community as something fun because even in a factions server we are sure that you all can work together in times when needed.
Updated! Community MilestonesLast season we introduced the Community Milestones, but we haven't seen them shine in the way we would like them to.
With that being said there will be some balance changes regarding the milestones, and that includes:
Adding more milestones.
Buffing the milestone rewards.
Making the milestones more challenging.

Updated! Faction Roam
We have fixed the issues with roaming and decided to re-enable it this season. For this season you will leave behind an NPC that players can hit if the NPC gets hit you will be sent back to your starting location, and your roaming will be removed. As soon as you are out of roaming mode you will also be tagged for combat.
This makes it fairer for players roaming around in the warzone and adds risk to it, so you can not just freely roam around without having to worry about anything.
Updated! Player Levels
We will be adding Premium Rewards. These rewards can be unlocked by purchasing the expansion for the player levels. With this feature unlocked, you will receive even more rewards. But don't worry, even after completing the levels you can still unlock this and claim the rewards that you haven't claimed yet.
The player levels have also been tweaked:
Changed some tasks to make it more faction-themed.
Buffed rewards the higher levels you go.
Fixed! Bugs
We did our best to polish and fix as many existing bugs inside the OpFactions server. We have looked through all the bug reports and managed to fix them. If you come across any bug with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
Here are a few of the bugs we squished out:
- Fixed being false kicked for phasing
- Fixed f-alts sometimes being removed
- Fixed scoreboard placeholders
- Fixed wilderness range
- Fixed tags menu only having 1 page
- Fixed roster role setting for all roles.
- Fixed all NPC skins in spawn
- and many more.
Misc. Updates and changes.
After receiving some suggestions about modifying a couple of things, we have decided to make the following modifications in order to make everyone's Factions experience much better. We have modified a few features which were present on the previous map, and here is the list including those modifications, along with a justification for the majority:
- Removed custom crops (There wasn't any use for it)
- Added a new warp pvp
- Tweaked crate rewards
- Added voucher confirmations
- Fixed sand stacking on warzone
- Improved phase checks & kicks
- Added a payouts menu
- Rank upgrades in gold shop
- Added a help menu
- Added a /guide command
- Made it possible to purchase multiple items at once from /transfer
Please note: Any suggestions for changes feel free to leave them in the comments.
