CosmicPE Factions is a multiplayer game mode which revolves around creating and managing groups called factions, which are player-run organizations that claim land, form alliances, wage wars, and strive for dominance on the server.
Factions introduces a strategic element to Minecraft by encouraging teamwork, base-building, and raiding. The core goal is to grow your faction, amass resources, and either cooperate with or conquer other factions.
In order to play on CosmicPE, users must first join the CosmicPE Discord and follow the steps in the #verification channel.
Faction Top
CosmicPE has two Faction Top (/f top) systems, spawner value based /f top and point based /f top. Faction Top, is a leaderboard that ranks factions based on their total spawner or faction point value.
The primary /f top system for each planet will be announced in the CosmicPE Discord.
Positions #1, #2, and #3 are eligible for weekly rewards, as well as a larger reward at the end of the map. Rewards can be seen in the CosmicPE Discord.
Value Based
Value based /f top measures the amount of spawners or "wealth" each faction has placed inside their claims.
Each spawner type has a different total value, which accrues over a period of 14 days.
Spawners are obtained from various Events, Raiding and various lootboxes.
Point Based
Points based /f top measures the amount of faction points (/f points) that factions have accumulated through various activities.
The amount of /f points obtained from activities scales with map age.
| Source | Base Points Given | Points Given at Week 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Brood Mother | 5 | 5 |
Faction Power
Power is inherently a member attribute, meaning every player has their own separate power (run /f power to check your current power). Power of a faction is the cumulative sum of powers of all members. Conversely, a faction can increase their power capacity by having more members. The only other way to increase power capacity is the "Faction Power Boost" /f upgrade, which gives a base power value of up to +100 to a faction.
The maximum power a player can have is 150. Power replenishes by +1 every minute, and happens even when offline. A player will lose 10 power upon death in any wilderness territories. Power will never drop below -20, meaning a player with -20 power will not lose any power upon death.
Power determines the amount of chunks a faction can claim (run /f info to view power of your faction). It is however possible for a faction to be in a state where they have more land than power. This is because power can be lost by dying in the wilderness or from a member leaving the faction. In this state, the faction remains vulnerable to overclaiming—a scenario where any outsider can seize land from the faction.
