Huh, really? That's a surprise. I can't see how performance plugins could possibly be important to players!

I guess I was wrong, then.

If the coordinates were public, it would be impossible for anyone to stumble upon Elephantia by surprise!

That wouldn't be very exciting.

If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? Similarly, is peace peace if nobody is around to experience it? It isn't, really; you can argue—correctly!—that it's technically peace, but to equate it with hippie-style peace is just ridiculous.

Ah, yeah, updating might be an issue. That's true. And if updating to spigot might not be worth the work, I can see how you might not want to.

Still, I'd like to reiterate that performance mods are practically never considered "true" mods—you wouldn't be removed from the "Vanilla" sections of server lists, or anything like that.

Why not install Spigot, then? Performance mods are hardly non-vanilla. I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

I mean, yeah, it'd technically be non-vanilla, but functionally way more vanilla than half the stuff this stuff does with command blocks.

@sovietsuperman Paying for base coords.

Shucks, I would have just given them to you! We're friends, after all!

This faction is opposed to the Red Army and all bases of yours shall be found and destroyed.

Elephantia isn't opposed to anything other than dullness! Unless your faction is dull, we shouldn't be at war!

Have a pleasant day

You too!

@Mytymj Good luck elephant, you're sure to have many exciting times in the days to come :D

Hooray! Excitement!

That's right! Elephantia has gained a foothold, and you should join it! Pretty much anyone is welcome, so be sure to swing by!

It may not be much right now, but imagine what it could become with the aid of people like you! Isn't the idea exciting?

A warning, though: because it's so close to spawn, Elephantia is likely to see plenty of excitement! Take screenshots of whatever you build, and be prepared to recreate it!

FAQ

Q: Can I join Elephantia? What are Elephantia's coordinates?
A: Sure! Just message an Elephantian for the coordinates, and you're done!

Q: Wait, so my stuff is probably just going to get wrecked?
A: It's quite likely! Take screenshots!

Q: Why shouldn't I just join another faction—that is, one in which my stuff won't be destroyed?
A: Because other factions aren't as exciting! At Elephantia, we embrace griefing; we use it as an impetus to try something new each time we rebuild!

Q: How do I get to Elephantia?
A: Walk! As you'll learn from the coordinates, Elephantia is very close to spawn. It's outside the 1000-block cleaning zone, though!

Q: I don't want to join Elephantia, but I want to check it out. Is that okay?
A: Sure! Be sure to tell people you're coming, though! Again, just message an Elephantian for the coordinates.

Q: No Elephantians are on, and I want the coordinates!
A: Send me a forum message!

I sure did! I never checked up on it after I logged off, though—for all I know, it could still be standing!

The war didn't end in excitement, but peace is exciting, too!

An old faction! It died—because all its members were lazy, probably!
