Updated 24 October 2026. Numbers are read from the live ArtemisPvP server data the wiki is built from.
A Minecraft server for clans and teams
If you want to play Minecraft as a team - a clan with a name, a base and rivals - a factions server is built for exactly that. On ArtemisPvP at play.artemispvp.com your clan is a faction: up to 30 members and 10 alts, shared land, one ally, and a place on the faction leaderboard.
Clans and factions
Clan is the general word; factions is the Minecraft game mode that gives clans land and stakes. A faction has a name, a leader and ranks, claimed land, and relations with other factions. Where a clan on a minigame server is mostly a tag, a faction owns a base, holds territory and can lose it.
What a faction gets on ArtemisPvP
| Size | Up to 30 members and 10 alts |
|---|---|
| Allies | Only 1 ally at a time, so alliances are a real choice |
| Land | A Core Chunk that never expires; land touching your base never expires either |
| Protection | A shield that stops explosions in your land 16 hours a day |
| TNT bank | Holds up to 250,000 TNT for raids and cannons |
| Ranking | Faction Points: 25,000 for holding your Core Chunk, 500 per KOTH capture |
Things to do as a team
- Hold outposts (4 of them, one per faction at a time) and strongholds, which pay Faction Points every 2 hours.
- Take the KOTH hill every 6 hours.
- Raid with custom TNT and creepers, and defend against the same.
- Run dungeons as a party of up to 4.
- Fight the bosses together.
Starting a clan
Gather your group first, then pick the name together - it shows to everyone you fight. Decide who leads, who builds and who handles the cannons. Plan the base before you claim: your first claim becomes the Core Chunk, and you will defend it for the whole season. The factions guide covers the first steps, and joining someone else's faction is answered on the factions FAQ.
How many allies can a faction have on ArtemisPvP?
Only 1 at a time.
