FairPlay for Factions: Scaffold, Elytra, AutoTotem, and Mitigation

Why Factions servers should evaluate FairPlay for high-impact combat abuse, bridging, elytra pursuit, totem automation, and configurable mitigation.

Factions abuse has high stakes

In Factions, one unfair fight can decide territory, loot, claims, raid outcomes, and player retention. Scaffold, AutoTotem, elytra pursuit, KillAura, reach, fastbreak, and inventory automation are not minor annoyances; they change the economy of the server.

FairPlay is built for that kind of pressure because it combines combat checks with scaffold, elytra, AutoTotem, inventory, FastBreak, mitigation, and punishment configuration.

Why mitigation is important

Autobans are not always fast enough. A cheater can cause damage before final punishment. FairPlay mitigation lets admins reduce damage, cancel hits, prevent block placement, notify staff, and run commands during configured windows.

Recommended Factions setup

Enable staff-visible debug first. Tune scaffold and combat checks against your knockback and movement plugins. Use block-place prevention for confirmed scaffold patterns. Use damage or hit mitigation for high-confidence combat abuse, then escalate through global punishment tiers.
