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! Server Jar​

​

For this season we decided to change the server jar on our OpFactions server. For those who do not know what a server jar is; A server jar is software that the server is running on. And for factions, this is important due to the needed performance & tweaks to optimize those giant TNT cannons.​

​

So this season we will be trying out a new, and better jar than we did before to make the cannoning on our server even more smooth.​

​

​

New! Custom Skills​

After 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! Item & Experience 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.​

​

Item Flip (/itemflip)​

With the /itemflip you will be able to wager your most worthy item. Select the item you want to put in, pick a side, and wait for someone to accept your bet of that same item.​

​

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! Tags​

Who 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 Milestones​

Last 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.

Question and Answers​

Why does OpFactions reset?​

OpFactions is already up for some time. A reset has to happen to change and improve with new features, to make the game more exciting for you all! This then allows you players to have a fresh start and new players can begin to play without any significant disadvantage.​

​

This means all items, money, and the map will be reset. Nothing will be kept leftover from the previous map. Of course, all purchases will be reissued so nobody will be out of pocket in that regard. I know this must be a disappointing revelation for a lot of you, but think about the exciting new changes, the new alliances you can forge, the new map, the new features and updates the different kinds of gameplay, and style is provided with this update will surely make it a worth-while and exciting reset!​

​

• Your claims
• All items in your inventory and ender chest
• Any currencies such as money and exp
