How are you with PvP/factions vanilla?

What, like a server where people intentionally fight each other? How exactly does that work?

Basically you create a faction. Claim land. The more people you have in your faction the more power you have. The more power you have the more land you can claim. If you die, you loose power. PVP factions try to kill each-other and take of each-others land once their power drops below the amount of land they have. Though its not all war. Some factions ally. There is an economy plugin, people can make shops, buy and sell.

Currently we are quite a peaceful server.

Oh, I am interested in that. I like the idea of opening a shop. Can you mine in other people's land, though?

If you are not in their faction. You cannot build or mine in their land. They can also not mine or build in yours.

My server is vanilla, and sadly not a lot of people actually swing by these days. Seems everyone is playing other things right now.

It's still running though.
