NeoFactions
A lightweight, server-side factions mod for NeoForge 1.21.1. No client mod required.
What is NeoFactions? Factions adds a complete faction system to your Minecraft server. Players can create and manage factions with a three-tier hierarchy, invite or recruit members, and represent their faction with a colored prefix visible in chat, the TAB list, and above their head.
Built to be simple and reliable — no bloat, no dependencies, no client-side installation needed. Just drop the jar in your server's mods/ folder and you're good to go.
Features
Faction management — Create, dissolve, and manage factions entirely through in-game commands.
Three-tier hierarchy — Leader (★), Officer (▲), and Member (•), each with appropriate permissions for inviting, kicking, and promoting.
Recruitment system — Two ways to join a faction: officers can invite players directly, or players can apply and wait for approval.
Visual identity — Your faction name and rank appear as a colored prefix in chat, in the player list (TAB), and above your head.
Persistent data — Faction data is saved to the world folder and survives server restarts.
Server-side only — Players don't need to install anything. Works with vanilla clients.
Compatibility with Vapirism and Pin Wheel mods.
