What Minecraft version does Bren Factions run?

Bren Factions reports Velocity 1.7.2-26.3, which means it accepts clients from 1.7 through 1.26. A server with that kind of range is normally running a proxy that translates between versions.

Where is Bren Factions hosted?

The address for Bren Factions resolves to a machine in Canada. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.

Is Bren Factions free to join?

Yes, joining Bren Factions costs nothing beyond owning Minecraft. Some servers additionally allow offline-mode accounts and some do not — the server decides that, and we do not resell anything.
