Factions server hosting
Form a faction, claim land, build defenses — and raid everyone else.
On a factions server players join groups, claim chunks and build fortified bases. Claimed land is protected until a faction loses power, then rivals can raid it with TNT cannons. Economy, spawners and seasonal map resets are common.
That mix is heavy: cannons fire hundreds of TNT entities at once and farms run around the clock. The server needs Paper, careful entity limits and enough RAM for a busy map.
What you get
Included in every plan: DDoS protection, NVMe storage and automatic backups.
A factions plugin

TNT and cannon load
Paper’s entity and explosion settings keep cannoning from freezing the server.

Season resets

Factions questions
How much RAM does a factions server need?
For 40 players, plan around 7 GB. Heavy cannoning and many spawner farms can need more — upgrade RAM any time.
Why set a world border?
Factions maps are usually limited so players meet each other. A world border also caps disk usage and makes pre-generating the map possible.
Should I store faction data in MySQL?
Some factions and economy plugins support MySQL, which helps if you run several servers.
