What is BetterNations

BetterNations transforms your Minecraft server into a dynamic world of politics, warfare, and nation-building. Players can create their own countries, forge alliances, raise armies, and conquer rivals—all within the blocky universe they love. This plugin brings grand strategy to life in a way that’s both accessible and endlessly engaging.

Whether your server has 100+ players online or is just a small SMP with a few friends, this plugin works just fine!

Modernized & User friendly

- Performance in mind: Wouldn't lag with more than millions of claims! (Yes, I've actually tested...)
- Intuitive visual effects with particles & holograms!



Nation & Lands

- Democracy or dictatorship, it's your choice
- Claim territory and expand your borders; protect your homeland from enemies!




Diplomacy & Warfare

- Form alliances or declare war on rival nations

Technology & Crafting

- Players can craft weapons and tools for themselves or put them into barracks to train units
- The recipes/units are COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE!!! You can even add your own items/units into the game!
- The recipes in the plugin by default are only an example. If you are 1.21+ server, you may check out the repository page for a pre-made crafting system configuration!
