Purpose

Guilds is a large plugin for your Minecraft Server. Guilds is a replacement for Factions/Towny!

The guilds team has created this plugin because of an increasing demand for a Factions/Towny alternative. Every server is using one of those 2 plugins and they both lack features that most people would love to see. The purpose of Guilds is to fill that role as the 3rd option when it comes to "total server plugins" (guilds, land control, wars, chat, etc).

Unlike it's competition however, each section of Guilds is modularized and totally disable-able.

Only want the guild features? Disable wars/chat/land control!

Only want the guild features & land control? Disable wars & chat!

Almost every feature in Guilds is disable-able in some way, so you can make the plugin work exactly how you want it to on your server.

It allows your users band together under one tag and work together to slowly build up an empire. Players in the same guild can share protected land, declare war on enemy guilds, speak privately to each other in guild chat, create custom guild setups and custom ranks within their guild, and more.

Plugin Overview

NOTE: Guilds is still being developed! Not all features are bug-free or even complete yet. I encourage you to test the plugin out to help me squash the bugs before release!

Payers can create guilds, recruit players to their guild, changes their guilds "type" (PvP, RP, PvE, Economists, etc), have guilds show up as chat prefixes, add/remove members, promote/demote members to new ranks, and more. See the "General" guild page for more details.

Land Control (Optional)

The plugin includes land control - guilds can claim land for their guild using simple commands, give special permissions to guild members to build on certain areas of their land, slowly expand their territory by spending in-game income (the cost is decided in the Config.yml), and more. See the "Land Control" guide page for more details.

War System (Optional)

For PvP servers, Guilds comes with a War & Politics System - guild leaders can declare other guilds as allies or enemes. The war system has two primary aspects, each one can be disabled or enabled; first, if it is set as 'enabled' in the Config.yml, guilds who are at war can damage each other even in PvP-safe-zones. The second major feature of the War System is "PvP artifacts" - legendary objects which guilds can can own that grant buffs to the entire guild. Guilds can steal these artifacts from each other which will transfer the buff. See the "War System" guide page for more details.

Chat (Optional)

The plugin includes chat features - guilds can speak directly to guildmates using the guild chat. The guild chat shows each players rank within the guild. The chat feature also adds chat prefixes to each players name in-game, to show the rest of the server which guild they're in. See the "Chat" guide page for more details.

Economy Integration (Optional)

As a server owner you can attach an economy cost for players to do various things within the plugin. You can make it cost money to create guilds, claim new land, declare war on other guilds, and more. See the "Economy Integration" guide page for more details.

Use Guilds? Donate to show thanks!

I am currently putting 4+ hours/day into programming bukkit plugins (mainly Guilds). If you feel like showing your appreciation, feel free to donate! I no longer run servers and make the big bucks (as if), so I really appreciate what little money I can get from developing for other peoples servers!
