Season 9 Teams

Build a squad, organize your allies, and use the teams system safely on Horizons SMP.

Quick Start: Found a squad with /team create <TAG> (costs 8 diamonds), or accept an invite with /team join <TAG> (costs 1 golden apple).

Why Join or Create a Team?

Teams allow players to form tight-knit squads, organize private communication, and build alliances. Teammates and allies receive zero combat-tag penalties when sparring or playing together, and anti-abuse safeguards prevent team members from griefing or farming stats.

Rule 8

Key Requirements & Rules

Team Tag: 3 to 5 alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers only, unique across the server).
Founding Cost: 8 Diamonds in your inventory. Has a 1-hour cooldown.
Joining Cost: 1 Golden Apple consumed upon running /team join.
Invites: Leaders and Managers can invite online players with /team invite <player> (invites expire in 60s).
Friendly Fire: Striking a teammate or ally never triggers a Combat Tag, so you won't get stuck in combat or punished by logout timers.
