Minecraft factions an age-old game mode which we all played at one time or another the game road changed significantly over time however when comparing the factions we see today the factions of the past the similarities are almost non-existent but there weren’t any large changes until a specific day one day where everything Changed one day which changed minecraft factions forever so what was that day and what happened did change for the better or for the worse let me give you a quick history of factions minecraft factions dates back as early as 2010 however back then the plugin only had this basics which you Know today such as f claimed f home etc nothing too special back then people would also do based above-ground it was common to see castles or villages raiding with TNT cannons was nowhere to be seen and PvP was encouraged this continued into 2011 with the addition of enchanted diamond dama Still the game was very simple it was his Buddha base gets suddenly and goat fire or raid around 2012 when things began to change most servers started implementing plugins which allowed players to obtain items which we know will be unobtainable in vanilla minecraft such as monsters corners and XP bottles it was at this time that getting in China diamond diamond also became much easier and plays begin booting phases in the ground as well as sky bases way up to the sky losing it but it’s core actions toward the same goal Buddha bases and friends gets a beer and Go PvP and raid a bit later around 2013 and early 2014 factions continued to evolve and bases became harder to raid as people blew the medal recipient and the water this is also where TNT cannon really evolved and became common in factions due to the increased difficulty and Raiding however once again faction that its core still had the same goals Buddha base get some loot and raid it wasn’t super grindy it was just fun then it all changed cosmic PvP released during mid 2014 and things began to shake up cosmic PvP brought in a wave of new features and Plugins including custom insurance gen buckers envoys god kits and the list goes on these features weren’t there from the very beginning of cosmic PvP vented over the years of 2014 to 2016 2015 was the last year we saw old faction servers as we know it but these Servers were dying and dying fast cosmic PvP exploded of popularity due to have being owned by two popular minecraft youtubers mr. wuffles and Preston plays would make a video on it and promote it to their mostly young audience other large server networks and factions service or cosmic success who decided to Follow suit adding similar plugins such as custom enchants one voice and a whole lot more by 2016 the facts and so it evolved were all but gone and every server was like cosmic PvP but how do these plugins actually impact factions and was the impact actually good well for starters bases were now Gigantic boxes surrounded by wolves to do a plug-in called gen buckets basically you could obtain buckets which when placed would create a color of a certain block going all the way down to the ground it became easy to obtain lots of these and such I gained thick Obsidian walls base has lost their charm every base of the same of course you can still make the inside unique but the basic structure is always the same now people used to have their own unique base including stars and this is all gone to the implementation of gen buckets Bases also became much harder and more time-consuming to rape instead of raiding being about finding a hidden base and killing the other faction enough became a slow boring 2 to 3 hour at least process of booting a giant tnt cannon is slowly making a way through Dozens of walls as well as gen buckets armor became far easier to come by and these days most servers give you a decent set of in china die Madonna as soon as you join but even then that is considered valueless when it counted for custom and shots custom in Sean’s really devalued vanilla Enchants as much of these custom in shots were insanely overpowered without a full set of diamond armor with them you in stand a chance in PvP speaking of armor not only was vanilla armor basically useless but the ability to easily get kids and other free items from donating Meta so armor was really worthless back in 2013 if you died with your full suit of in China dama dama it was a significant loss but now if you died with your crazy custom enchanted armor set you could just type one or two commands and get completely fresh one of course the best Set of custom enchanted armor would be a pain to lose and wouldn’t be as easily reclaimed but even then it wouldn’t matter that much as PvP became less and less skill based now PvP was always a fantastic element of factions it was fast paced adrenaline fuelled and intense you Really didn’t want to die and lose your stuff but the addition of armor with custom enchants as well as servers making OB items such as God apples far easier to obtain reduce the skill required to PvP instead of PvP being about who could land more hits and the Other in a short intense period of time it became a who has more golden apples to survive or whose armor has higher durability fights drought over 15 minutes long sometimes and the only way to win was to basically break your opponent’s armor or make them eat more God up losing you it became less about you could get more hits before the other person could and more who actually cares enough to click your mouse multiple times to get a virtual set of armor which is basically valueless as it can be easily replaced with a single command Besides from armor being valueless in PvP there was almost no point to PvP anymore as plays and factions were able to buy power allowing them to claim more land and they would also lose much less power from dying in the early days of factions you could easily raid somebody By killing them a few times so that they lost power and their land became over claimable this was no longer the case in current day factions so why even PvP most of the time you get no good gear and it doesn’t lead you to raiding affection and it is hardly school based Now there are multiple other features and plugins which change factions in positive and negative ways but if I were to talk about them this video would go on forever so instead I’m going to address the elephant in the room and talk about the main reason factions has Changed and why it has changed for the worse with cosmic sedition of all these new plugins and features faction souls became much more monetizable which basically meant a lot of things can now be sold through money in short factions became paid a win ranks were always a thing infections and while they were Slightly paid a win and did give donators an advantage it was never that extreme or significant at least not until cosmic PvP these days faction souls are outrageously paid a win and you decide not to pay you have an enormous grind ahead of you to even attempt to compete with the average Factions that’s not to mention large factions which probably have invested thousands of dollars into a single server almost every single thing is participa with money ranks costs hundreds of dollars and cosmic PvP even has gambling with loot boxes and slot machines majority of the people who play their server well underage this should Be illegal this is the key factor which ruin factions for me bases are basically unreadable unless you drown excessively or pay money on top of that good luck building one of these giant boxes if you don’t spend any money don’t even bother PvP because donators who spent hundreds Of dollars who have some of the best armor available to them the type of one command oh and all these custom vents and outposts good luck doing anything their players would literally fly to you and kill you taking all your loot To sum it up factions is now only fun if you spend money or if you have excessively grinded to the point of becoming wealthy which isn’t a fun process trust me the charm which factions once had of working together with your friends to find basis and claim land is gone big Server owners such as woofers and Preston plays exploit their young fan base to make thousands and have no passion for the game outside of making money from it and they can get away with it absolutely disgusting feel free to share your comments or thoughts on modern-day factions below as well as Tell me any great memories of factions you have before was ruined by service like cosmic PvP
