I've been experiencing this bug for awhile and I also think it's game-breaking. Hopefully it gets fixed soon so newer players are not confused.
This is a leftover menu item that hasn't been changed yet. Last map the free world was infinite. In this version of MCP, to conserve on data storage the free world has a boundary that will only let you go so far. To my understanding faction bases and players have been hidden to encourage people to use the free world. If players and bases weren't hidden they would be too easy to find thus discouraging for anyone to do anything in the free world.
It does displays the players currently online but it will not display player locations and I'm pretty sure for as long as I've been on MCP I've never seen it display mobs.
A very noteworthy observation though.

I know that lol. I'm just stating that they should get rid of the other part with the factions. Been on this server for a while.
Please chill and don't take this post so seriously. Yes it is a bug, but I was joking around when I said this is unacceptable lmao.
Omg, very true, this bug has been confusing me for a while. Gets me every time.
