# Factions

Factions is survival Minecraft with teams and raiding. A **faction** is your team: you build a base together, claim land and fight other factions. Raiding means breaking into another faction’s base to steal their loot.

On LemonCloud, the goal is to become the richest faction and win weekly payouts of Lemons.

## Claims and territory

A claim is land owned by your faction. All your claims together make up your territory, where you can build your base and store your items.

Land is claimed in **chunks**. A chunk is a 16 × 16 block square that runs from the bottom of the world to the build limit. Claiming one protects the whole column, including underground.

Use `/f claim` to claim the chunk you are standing in. Claims stop outsiders from freely building or breaking blocks, but your base can still be raided by cannons firing TNT.

## Power

Power determines how much land your faction can hold. **Each claimed chunk needs 1 power.** Your faction’s power is the total of its members’ power, up to a maximum of 1,000.

* You gain **2 power per minute** while playing.
* You lose **40 power** each time you die.
* Your power can go as high as **100** or as low as **-100**.

If your faction has more claimed chunks than power, another faction can **overclaim** your land. This means taking ownership of your claims.

For example, if you have 100 chunks claimed and 100 power, one death could drop your faction to 60 power. Your land can then be overclaimed. Keep some spare power instead of claiming right up to your limit.

## Map details

Each map lasts 4 weeks before the world resets. The first week is a **grace period**: raiding is disabled so factions have time to build their bases.

* **Map duration:** 4 weeks
* **Grace period:** 1 week
* **Faction member limit:** 10

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.lemoncloud.org/gamemodes/factions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
