Factions
The second resource attached to this lecture is an updated version for the Faction Shop as newtShop was discontinued. I did not create this updated resource, by the way, one of our wonderful students here Kiaan has generously posted this for everyone to use which is greatly appreciated! It uses OneStopShop instead of newtShop and is a perfect solution if you need to update to 1.17 or just want a different option. I did do some research on the plugin so feel free to ask any questions about it in the Q&A section. Again thank you Kiaan and happy learning!
