HOW TO FACTIONS… MINECRAFT FACTIONS BASES & DEFENSES *EXPLAINED*

Yo what is going on guys it’s your boy heroic here back with a how to faction series and now guys the first episode we’re actually covering a Minecraft faction bases and all of their defenses that they have now this is actually the first episode of the series and the

Reason that we’re actually making this series is to go ahead and bring back more players into the community whether that be teaching absolutely new players or teaching very very old gen players all of the changes and how to go ahead and get caught back up with the factions

Community and everything within it like I mentioned the very first episode is going to be based on bases because that is practically the most important part is making a base and keeping your spawners in value in everything that you have saved that’s what we’re going to talk about in today’s episode now we’re

Actually going to go ahead and go through all the basics and start off very very simple so first things first when it comes to face you have to go ahead and decide how big you want your face to be now this is what you call a shell it’s basically the size of your

Base and obviously you guys can see I do have chunk borders on as you can see it is one two three one two three so there’s three chunks by three chunks now if we go ahead and move over here to the left as well as two by two so this

Decision has to go ahead and be made upon your faction we actually make making your base layout and it also does have to follow these server rules the bigger the base the more room that you have the more value you can store but also the more base work that is required

Meanwhile if you do have a smaller base they can pretty much breach it twice and get all of your value so it is something definitely to consider but now in this first episode we are actually going to go ahead and cover competitive faction faces as well as casual faction bases

And all the different type of Regens flat walls everything that you do need to know but firstly before we do go ahead and hop into all the different defenses you guys need to go ahead and check out these server rules whatever server you’re playing on make sure that

You guys go ahead and follow and correlate with their rules because I don’t want you guys getting banned or striked all right but now first things first obviously we just do have some straight walls these are practically used just for patching it’s literally just obsidian walls with water over the

Top it is the most simple base defense you can even get moving on these are practically only used on a regen servers we have got pillars and now the whole reason behind pillars so these are actually used just like walls but with a little bit of a Different Twist so the

Main reason for Regents is to go ahead and make the base a lot harder to get into and now the regen’s jobs they actually go ahead and make the people cannon in your base go and have to readjust multiple multiple times so now when somebody shoots at your flat walls

And all this TNT does go ahead and break it will go ahead and make a much larger whole new wall as you guys can see it went ahead and five Whited and then it will also go ahead and nuke on down but now with pillars the thing you guys go

Ahead and see there is an air gap in between every single one of these walls so practically if they go ahead and start shooting here this will go ahead and get rid of this wall and that’ll go on to the very next one go ahead and get

Rid of that one and I’ll say there is another region farther on behind in the base they will go ahead and have to readjust once again so instead they have to move over one to the right let’s go ahead and go through all these walls

Once again now say they have to go back over two to the left they will have to go ahead and go through all these whereas if you had flat walls like this they obviously can just shoot one to go ahead and get through all three of those

All at once so that’s pretty much why they are used on regen servers now moving on to the very next one we literally just have an ocean now all of these blocks of water inside out here are actually Source blocks of water now it’s practically just used for patching

So if we go ahead and start placing blocks you guys can see if you don’t have an ocean all this will actually turn into air down here below which makes it super annoying and actually toxic go ahead and pass these if you are swimming around going ahead and patching

If you get into an air gap you obviously will go ahead and drop very very low which that time wasted if you drop maybe 10 five blocks even they probably get two or three shots off so if you have an ocean this makes it a lot easier to go

Ahead and Patch now moving on to the last simple base defense we do have finsters here now finsters obviously are used with sand walls and some obsidian type filters now the whole reason behind finsters is actually for anti-nuke so if somebody is shooting at 255 it’ll

Obviously go ahead and get rid of the sand wall now the reason why finsters are so good if somebody’s actually shooting at a lower y so let’s say they are shooting right here so obviously this will go ahead and nuke and break the obsidian obviously break a little

Bit of sand but now what that does is actually stop it from nuking all the way to the ground now finsters also known as anti-nukes that is their whole purpose it’s just to make it a lot harder to go through all of your sand walls because you have to shoot through them multiple

Times whereas if you didn’t have them you could probably shoot through them one or twice at Max and then be on to the very next one now guys moving into the very first set of regions we have gotten mind chats here you guys can see they are all off centered by a single

Block and now the rest of these defenses are actually regions and I’m not going to show you guys how to make every single set of these Regens today’s episode maybe in a later episode but the biggest thing if you guys do want to go ahead and copy this is first off make

Sure they are legal on the server you’re playing and secondly to get the watering and lava right everywhere that you see lava is actually Source blocks all the way down to the bottom like on the inside all of these need to be Lava buckets as well and now with the water

You guys can see it is flowing in a certain direction and as for a reason and the water has to be flowing into the block so it does go ahead and start regening whereas if there is no current it will not flow into it it will not go

Ahead and regen back like I was saying my chat’s there one block all go ahead and make sure that they have to readjust multiple times and now with mind chat you need a minimum of three of these on your base to make them most effective just to make sure that they constantly

Have to readjust now guys we’re moving on to the very second one which is actually regen 45s which are actually banned on a lot of servers so definitely make sure with these ones now these 45s you can practically build them either way we’ve got the reverse and normal way

And now everywhere that you see the lapis blocks that needs to be a water bucket source so you literally have to Place buckets of water on every single one of these blocks around your entire defense now where you see the orange concrete that is just a singular lava

Bucket but the water that’s very time consuming it takes quite a while but this is actually probably like the best defense you can have but very time consuming and it does go ahead and take up a lot of space as well now moving on to the very next one we have got

Horizontal filters now these are not seen too often but as you guys can see the water is flowing into the obsidian on the other side there is a lava source which these are kind of outdated not many people really use them anymore but still it could go ahead and throw some

People off now moving on to the very next one we have an old set of the one by ones later on we’ll go ahead and show you guys a brand new version of these but the same thing here the water is flowing into a certain block and then

When it goes ahead and connects with the lava obviously it will go ahead and regen but this is also pretty outdated we have a better version coming up very soon now moving on to the very next one a highly underutilized bass defense is actually the vertical filters which

Those are horizontal as you guys can see but these are vertical now these are actually very time consuming to go ahead and set up as well because you have to make sure that the lava is right as well as the water and obviously you don’t

Want to make a a mess all the way down to the bottom so we put slabs around it you guys can see every other block is broken and then obviously it is on different y levels back and forth and I believe you need a minimum of two of

These on your base go ahead and actually make it effective as well now moving on over to pilters or hot dogs whatever you guys want to call them you definitely want a couple of sets of these on your base if you do go ahead and decide to

Make these now these are actually very annoying because the best way to go ahead and get rid of them is actually back stacking and getting rid of the lava source that way you can adjust it back over and go ahead and nuke through them so it’s very time consuming as well

And takes a lot of shots obviously all lava sources on the outside with water flowing into it now whenever one of these blocks go ahead and break obviously the water will cut and flow into it and go ahead and repair it once again now moving on we have got Hearts

That’s what I call them we’ve got the water flowing into the back of the obsidian every other block and obviously all lava sources in the front to go ahead and repair whenever it does get broken now these are actually pretty annoying to go ahead and deal with as

Well they make it so you have to go ahead and adjust a lot of times you’ll have to shoot here here here here and here just go ahead and get a three wide hole so obviously if you go ahead and match these up with those pillars that I

Talked about earlier it takes a a lot of readjusting and a lot of re-reaching now finally we’ve got the brand new one by ones that I did go and talk about those are the older versions now these are the newer ones with water flowing into the

Back every other block and then all the front is lava bucket sources now Guys these are practically all the different types of Base defenses actually being used in today’s factions and let me go ahead and make something very very clear right now so when I first started

Playing Regens a very very long time ago I thought you could actually make an unraitable base so if you guys are new to Regions there is literally no such thing as an unreadable base there is no unraitable base defenses now I will go ahead and say Regent cannoning is a lot

Different than normal flat wall Canon it takes a lot more skill now you may actually go ahead and get lucky that the person rating you doesn’t know how to get through these certain type of regions that you do have you know that is very unlikely you do have to be

Online and be able to go ahead and counter patch or stop the raid yourself now guys if you have any more questions about any of these base defenses go ahead and comment them down below I will definitely be happy to help but now guys I’m actually go ahead and TP on over to

My other home and show you guys how to check buffers and also check walls when you do go ahead and manage to get all of your base defenses up you are ready for TNT to go ahead and enable alright so down below we do have our little fake

Mock base say this is at the end of your buffer and this is your base right here obviously we’ve got a two by two base right here and now at the end of your buffer you should definitely have a couple of sand walls is when you are checking walls you’re practically just

Looking to see if the sand walls are actually down now when you are checking walls you want to go ahead and fly around your buffer and see if there is the sand wall that is down so obviously the sand was all the way up to 255 we

Don’t got to worry about it but if you are flying around and you see something like this so say we’re starting our wall check we’re flying around we see oh my goodness there’s a hole in our wall and you guys know that they’re obviously starting to go ahead and raid and

They’re firing at your base and that’s how you guys go ahead and alert the faction hop on start patching and go ahead and defend your base now let us go ahead and talk about buffer checking because a lot of people don’t actually know what a buffer check is so as you

Guys can see I’m currently looking at my East buffer you guys can tell because this is the east side and then over here we have got our North Side buffer now practically what a buffer check is just simply flying out beyond our walls beyond our base and checking for any

Cannon boxes new claims or even people messing about I can go ahead and set up a cannon and attempt to go ahead and rate our base so now every faction is different if there is wildfly it is a lot easier to go ahead and check buffers obviously you’re just flying in one

Straight line and you just go ahead and turn your F map on search for any new claims that you don’t recognize because if you find any new Canon boxes and if there is slash near on the server you can constantly spam that as well to see if there’s any players nearby which is

Also super useful and like I said every faction is different go ahead and fly out maybe 5 000 blocks 2.5 k blocks somewhere around there and obviously when you get back that is the East Side buffer check completed now go ahead and go on to the north side and do literally

The exact same thing now if you’re actually going up against a very talented faction it’s super important to go ahead and catch them while they are still setting up so you can go ahead and get your buffer counters lined up and get a side counter printed and then

Ready to go because if it is a good faction you may not have that time so buffer checks severely underutilized by a lot of factions out there now guys I think that is gonna go ahead and do it for the first episode of how to factions I think the very next episode we’re

Actually gonna go ahead and go over Canon like side countering buffer countering raid cannons everything that you need to know and how use a Canon so that you’re prepared at all times now guys if you guys do have any questions make sure go ahead and drop them down

Below in the comments hopefully I did go ahead and help out somebody in today’s episode and I will go ahead and see you guys all in the very next episode of how to factions peace out
