Minecraft Faction Warfare Season 5 is the fifth installment in the competitive PvP series. Each season has different rules and mods specifically chosen to create a different experience from vanilla Minecraft PvP tournaments. This season aims to create the most vanilla-like feel to any Faction Warfare season to date, while still having very unique rules.
Minecraft Faction Warfare Season 5 begins on June 27th, at 7:00 P.M.
Season 5 will take place on the largest map of any Faction Warfare Season: 8000x8000 blocks.
This map was created in Worldpainter and features unique terrain and biomes.
Expect to see new armor and weapon sets that continue as a further branch of the vanilla minecraft progression system.
Pictured below are four improved sets of Iron Armor. Apprentice, Journeyman, Masterwork, and Ultimate. New iron swords also come in these variations.
Improved Diamond Armor sets and swords are also available.
These improved armor and weapons sets require more vanilla resources than normal gear and also require Gold and Lapis to craft as an additional cost.
Armor and weapons from Enhanced Enchantments become automatically enchanted after they are crafted and moved across an inventory zone once.
These enchantments can be stronger than vanilla enchanting possibilities.
New powerful gear isn't all that is coming to Season 5 though, Custom NPC's will also play a large role in the outcome of the season.
Players will be able to recruit npcs to form armies at the cost of resources like Iron and Gold ingots.
Npcs can assist in breaking through your oppositions defenses.
Whether you dump resources into player gear, npc manpower, or both, your decision may determine your eventual victory or defeat.
