Before installing a plugin, use the official website to confirm that the plugin supports your server software and Minecraft version.
What is FactionsUUID?
Modern continuation of the classic Factions gameplay model with claims, power and faction management. MSH lists it as a mainstream option in Gamemode Cores , but the official project documentation remains the source of truth for exact builds, dependencies and current compatibility.
| Developer / maintainer | FactionsUUID team |
|---|---|
| Category | Gamemode Cores |
| Pricing | Paid + Open Source |
| Typical platform | Paper-family servers |
| Primary use | Modern continuation of the classic Factions gameplay model with claims, power and faction management. |
What it is good at
- Faction creation and land claims
- Power/relations and faction permissions
- Integrations for competitive Factions servers
What types of servers should consider it?
- Traditional Factions/PvP servers
- Servers migrating from older MassiveCraft-style Factions workflows
Pricing and distribution
The project exposes source code, but its commercial/license terms still matter. Source availability does not automatically grant unrestricted free use or redistribution.
The official release is sold commercially, while the project source is publicly available under its repository license. Check the current license and official distribution terms before self-building or redistributing.
What to check before using it
- Factions cores strongly affect land/protection logic. Avoid stacking competing claim plugins without a clear integration plan.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: FactionsUUID governs land claims, faction power and relations. Replacing a Factions core can break claims/UUID mapping; do not mix multiple independent factions cores in one live world.
Common questions
What does FactionsUUID do?
Modern continuation of the classic Factions gameplay model with claims, power and faction management.
Is FactionsUUID a plugin or a mod?
FactionsUUID is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install the compatible FactionsUUID build on the backend and migrate only using documented conversion support. Configure power/claim rules and any economy/protection integration in staging.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Create two test factions, claim a small area and verify interaction permissions, member roles, power changes and relation rules.
What if it does not load?
If players cannot claim or protect land, check claim limits, world exclusions, region overlaps and command/permission conflicts before editing saved faction files.
