United Factions FAQ

Fast answers to the questions players actually asked at launch: factions, claims, shards, shops, spawn, Discord linking and screen clutter.

First Steps

Answers for the first minutes after joining spawn.

What should I do first in spawn?

Start with three places: the Server Shop, the Player Shops and the Stable Master. Use /warp shop for the server shop, /warp playershops for player shops, and visit the Stable Master for your starter horse.

Where is the free horse?

The starter horse is claimed at the Stable Master in spawn. After claiming it, summon and use it in the wild rather than inside protected spawn paths.

Why can I not break blocks or use some containers?

Spawn and shop areas are protected. Go to the wilderness before mining, building, claiming or testing storage. If something still feels wrong in your own claim, ask staff with the exact location and what you tried.

How big is the map?

The launch world border is about 5,000 blocks in each direction from the center. That makes scouting matter while keeping factions close enough for trade, conflict and discovery.

How do I get back to spawn?

Use /spawn when you need to return to the main spawn area. Set homes and faction homes before travelling far so you do not rely on spawn as your only waypoint.

Factions and Claims

The most common questions about creating a team, claiming land and getting back home.

How do I create a faction?

Go to the wild first, then use /f create followed by your faction name. United Factions uses Lands underneath, but the /f commands are there so classic Factions players have a familiar path.

How do I claim land?

Create your faction with /f create, stand in the chunk you want, then use /f claim. You can also open /f menu to manage claims, members, roles and faction settings from the GUI.

Why do I only have 8 chunks?

Early factions start small on purpose. Claim limits grow through faction progress and shard unlocks, so the first base has to be planned instead of covering a huge area on day one.

Can I move my faction land?

Usually you claim the new chunks first if you have room, then unclaim the parts you no longer want. If you already used every chunk, unclaim old land before moving. Empty and secure storage before reshaping claims.

I forgot to set home. How do I get back to my land?

Open /f menu, go to your claims, and use the claim teleport option. After that, set a safer return path with /f sethome or your normal home command if available.

How do I add money to my faction land?

Place the chest you want to use as your faction treasury, then run /f treasury set. United Factions uses physical gold, so treasury setup matters for upkeep and faction logistics.

Economy and Shards

Gold is physical, shards are progression, and selling is split between NPCs, Warehouse access and player shops.

How do I earn shards?

Use /daily for the daily reward chest, keep playing and claim available playtime rewards, and join shard-paying events such as fishing competitions or KOTH when they are active. The current daily reward gives 1 shard.

What is the shard shop?

The Amethyst Hoarder is the shard shop NPC. Use /shards to check your balance, then spend shards on selected convenience and progression unlocks before hitting the 50-shard cap.

Why does Warehouse Access cost 24 shards?

Warehouse Access is the convenient sell-all route. You can still sell at individual NPCs before unlocking it. The shard cost keeps the launch economy paced and gives daily/playtime progress a purpose.

Selling does not work for my items. What should I try?

Use the correct individual NPC for that item type, unlock Warehouse Access later for mixed selling, or create a player shop. Go to /warp playershops and use /pshop create in the player-shop area.

Why are gold nuggets filling my inventory?

United Factions uses physical gold instead of invisible balance commands. Use Banker-style exchange routes when available to compact smaller gold pieces, and report stacking bugs separately if identical items refuse to combine.

Can I mine wild spawners with Silk Touch?

Yes. Wild spawners may be mined with Silk Touch and placed again. Spawner type changing stays disabled, so the mob type you found still matters.

Why do I need to go to the daily chest?

The daily chest is intentional: rewards should pull players through spawn and make the daily loop visible. Use /daily when ready; if the GUI hesitates, wait a moment and try once more before reporting it.

Commands, Chat and UI

Small quality-of-life questions that came up during launch.

How do I link Minecraft to Discord?

Run /discord link in-game, copy the private code it gives you, and DM only that code to the United Factions Discord bot. Do not paste your code in public chat.

Is there local chat?

Global chat is the default. Local chat is available with the local channel alias when you need nearby-only conversation, but use global or Discord when asking for staff help so people can actually see the question.

How do I make the big right-side info screen smaller?

Change your Minecraft video GUI Scale. On some launchers or Bedrock clients, the exact UI setting can differ, but reducing GUI scale is the first fix when the sidebar covers too much of the screen.

Can I use /f home and /f sethome?

Yes. /f home sends you to your faction home, and /f sethome sets it. Use /f menu if you prefer a GUI for faction and claim actions.

Are keep-inventory and war payouts enabled?

Keep inventory is off for the real risk loop. War-end balance payouts are not the core reward right now; carried gear, physical gold, supplies and territory pressure are what make conflict matter.

Can I curse in chat?

Keep it under control. Banter is part of Factions, but harassment, slurs, spam, threats and anything that makes the community worse is still a staff issue.

Still stuck?

Open the Guides hub for deeper mechanics, or ask in Discord with your IGN, platform and the command you tried.
