OGFactions

True old-school factions.
IP: ogpvp.xyz
Java 1.21.4–26.3
OGFactions is 1.8 combat and 1.8 cannons on a modern Java world. You farm for your money, fight with pots, and raid with classic cannons. Donor ranks buy convenience, not power. Nobody gets faction fly.
Season 1
Launch / SOTW: Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 2:30 PM PT
Grace: one week, ending November 22, 2026 at 2:30 PM PT
Season end: February 15, 2027 at 2:30 PM PT
At the end of the season, the top 3 factions on /f top win real cash, not in-game money. The prize is a share of the money the server generated over the season, after inherent server expenses:
- 1st: 15%
- 2nd: 10%
- 3rd: 5%
Together that is 30%. It is paid to the faction leader, or split however the faction requests. Your faction’s rank is every member’s balance added together, including players who are offline.
Prize rules
- Staff factions cannot win
- Using alts to inflate /f top is cheating
- A faction caught cheating forfeits
- Grace is the one-week protection period at the start, not the season prize
Combat
Old-school 1.8 PvP on a modern server. Potion PvP is the intended style. Modern blocks and items are kept unless listed as gone.
- No hit delay and no sweep attacks
- 1.8 knockback, crits, and axes
- Sword blocking absorbs 50% of incoming damage
- Shields give no protection
- Health regenerates the old way
- Netherite has no knockback resistance
- Strength II is banned
- Ender pearls have a 15-second cooldown
Cannons
1.8 physics, so classic cannons work.
Allowed: sand stack, hybrid, nuke, rev-nuke, shotgun, scatter, hammer, overstacker, and slab/regen buster
Limited: lefty/righty on your own claims only; auto/0-tick and pearl cannons if they do not lag or glitch
Banned: TNT arrays, roof cannons, and minecart, crystal, bed, anchor, and wither cannons
No TNT within 200 blocks of spawn, and no TNT during grace.
Walls
Allowed: cobble, obsidian, water, lava, slab walls, sand patching, and alerts
Limited: sand droppers if they do not lag; spawner boxes if the spawner stays exposed
Banned: piston/obsidian regen, flying walls, slime, honey, scaffold, kelp, web, string, panes, gates, trapdoors, fences, signs, ladders, portals, bedrock, roof sealing, void/border bases, and bot/AFK patching
Cobble and obsidian generation is off. If you want a wall, you build it.
Factions
- /f create <name> to start a faction
- /f claim and /f autoclaim to claim land
- Power comes from members (/f power)
- Deaths cost power, and weak claims get overclaimed
- Raid with TNT and cannons
- No raiding until grace ends
- /f ally and /f enemy both require both sides to ally
What’s gone
Elytra, maces, spears, shields, end crystals, and friendly ghasts are removed. You cannot craft crystals, shields, or maces. Totems of undying are an extremely rare Mystery crate reward. Evokers do not drop them.
The grind
Crops are the main way to make money, and nothing beats sugar cane. There is no real spawner economy. Silk touch on a diamond or netherite pick can drop spawners, and you can place them for XP or sell them on the auction house, but that will not out-earn a cane farm. There is also a shop.
Vote daily for cash and Vote Keys. Each vote pays $150 and 1 Vote Key. Daily, weekly, and monthly quests pay money and Mystery Keys:
- Daily: $400 and 1 Mystery Key
- Weekly: $1,500 and 2 Mystery Keys
- Monthly: $4,000 and 3 Mystery Keys
Vote Keys come from voting only. Mystery Keys come from quests and rare events, not from voting. Hold a key and right-click a crate to open it. Left-click a crate to preview rewards. Every reward shows its odds.
World
The world border is 5,000 blocks from center. The End is the main island only.
Rules
Anything that gives an unfair advantage is unacceptable and dealt with at the owner’s discretion, by severity. Hacked clients, x-ray, and duping are a permanent ban. Alting past a ban is a permanent ban. Macros and autoclickers are a ban. Hiding a known bug is punished.
