Ever wanted to play modded factions? ever wanted to protect your builds from pesky griefers? felt that gold was useless in minecraft? ever wished banners weren't just for decoration? Well fear not for you have come to the right place!
The Claim Flags mod lets you craft a kingdom block place it into your world and claim and protect your lands faction-style.
The kingdom block itself will hold your gold and allow you to purchase claim flags in the colors of YOUR banner!
Features:
-Kingdom Block, the base of your kingdom, here you will store the gold for the upkeep of your lands, purchase claim flags and manage the members of your kingdom
-Players can join your kingdom by shift-right-clicking your kingdom block just like in Rust!
-You can kick players from your kingdom, but cannot ban them from rejoining so protect your kingdom block!
-For the best experience it is recommended to play with the locks mod installed!
-Be aware, you are limited to owning one kingdom!
-Claim Flag, purchased from the kingdom block, it will look like the banner that is inside of the kingdom block's flag slot (should this flag change the kingdom will automatically update all of the flags already placed in the world and the ones the players try to place after the fact) with a nice gold border on the top, used for claiming new territories and overclaiming existing ones.
-You can overclaim a enemy kingdom's territory by holding right-click with your own flag in hand inside of their territory or in range of a territorial overlap (upon placement it will claim the unclaimed territory and overclaim the pre-claimed territory)
-When overclaiming another kingdom's territory be aware that if you overclaim a chunk which holds a flag or the kingdom block itself it will destroy them!
-Claimed land prevents other players from placing and breaking blocks in hostile territory!
-Compass, a new item that lets you check weather the chunk you are in is claimed or not by right-clicking on the ground.
-Rent, each kingdom pays rent for each claim they have, if they fail to do so their claims stop working until they are paid again, making big kingdoms expensive to keep up and gold very valuable. The owner of the kingdom gets warned before his kingdom runs low on gold.
-Configurability, this mod is highly configurable allowing you to change the number of chunks each claim flag claims, the amount of rent each claim pays and even how often!
Planned updates (Features that i plan to add in the future):
-Promotions: The ability to promote members within the kingdom, making claiming territories exclusive to officer ranked members, and extending the warning for low gold to them as well
-Kingdoms Map: Add a tab to the kingdom block allowing you to see the world from a topographic view showing you claimed and unclaimed lands stopping you from having to go around with a compass to figure what is claimed and what is not
-Skin sprites: In the kingdom menu, along with the name, to show a sprite of the players head and the option to turn off the name showing for servers which rely on skins for roleplay
-Kingdom names: As players can be part of multiple kingdoms at once and could be officers in multiple kingdoms it would be hard to check which kingdom is running out of gold and would be nice to display on the kingdoms map though this is likely to never be implemented as there are troubles with where to display it within the kingdom UI.
Until i implement these features the mod will stay in alpha, though i also expect to find a slew of issues as people play it more. I will update to newer versions within the next year I hope by then i will have implemented all of the features above though if anyone wants to take on the task contact me on discord!
Feel free to use the mod in any modpacks/servers i originally made it for personal use but would be delighted to see people use it for their own shenanigans!
I am always looking for suggestions and if u have any issues with the mod please reach out to me on discord at TimmyxD9#3985.
