New Spawn
With a new season comes a brand new spawn! Check it out below:



Information Update
For the Factions realms, we've made a number of brand new menus explaining important features that you need to know if you want to be a top tier faction. Previously it was hard to find out information about these features, making it harder for new factions to learn the ropes on The Archon.
/Features
This menu has information regarding 9 major Factions features including Chunk Hoppers, Void Chests, /printer, Farmable Chests, /roam, Mycelium, /f spectate, GenBucket and Sandy.

/Spawnerchunks
You can now view detailed information about what Spawner Chunks are and how to use them on Factions. This includes important information on how to not abuse Spawner Chunks, how to find them, and how to remove them.

/Ftopinfo
This menu explains in depth how Faction Top is calculated. Previously there was little to no information about this, which caused a lot of confusion amongst factions. The /ftopinfo menu shows you what can influence /f top, as well as Mob Spawner values.

/Spawners
This new menu lists the full worth of all spawner types, as well as the value amount they increase by every 12 hours. Now you can easily understand how much your spawners are worth!

Additional Changes
- The Faction Roster Size will be unlimited and there will be no limit on the number of kicks allowed.
- Due to the above change, we will be allowing Account Sharing and therefore will not enable our plugin to limit the number of IPs allowed on an account in 24 hours.
- As well as this, we will only be giving Faction Points to the players in the faction (This does not mean roster) at the end of the map,
- Due to the bow boosting change, we will be moving the exit of Mycelium from /warp Arena to near /warp PvP, modifying the Legendary Rewards in the Monthly Dungeons & rewards obtained from the Raid Event, Raiding Outpost & FvF Event.
- Death Bans while raiding and in PvP worlds will remain for this map.
- Nether Stars will remain at the high sell price of $6,000 per Nether Star.
- Fishing will remain as an alternative economy source to Sugarcane with fishing in the safe lake the equivalent of grinding Sugarcane.
- We will be significantly buffing Woodcutting by increasing the sell price of Wood Logs from $150 to $500 (an increase of more than 3x). The buy price of Wood Logs have also increased as a result.
Thank you everyone for another amazing map, see you all at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday for the Amber reset!
