Towny
A Guide to The Towny Plugin!
Towny is a popular plugin in Minecraft servers that allows players to claim and manage land in both the Fantasy World and the Vanilla World. It provides a dynamic and immersive experience where players can create and grow their towns, form alliances, and build nations. Here's a more in-depth description of how Towny works:
- 1.Claiming Land: In the Fantasy World and Vanilla World, players can use the Towny plugin to claim plots of land. These claimed areas will be protected from griefing and unwanted modifications by other players who are not part of the town or nation.
- 2.Creating a Town: To start a town, a player must first find an unclaimed plot of land. Once they find a suitable location, they can use the Towny commands to claim the land and establish their town. They will become the mayor of the newly founded town.
- 3.Town Management: As the mayor, the player has various administrative powers. They can set the town's name, welcome message, and other settings. They can also manage town residents, promote players to trusted roles, and set specific permissions for different ranks within the town.
- 4.Inviting Players: The key to growing a successful town is inviting players to join. By creating a welcoming and supportive environment, towns are more likely to attract new members. Towns can offer various benefits to players, such as protection, access to resources, and community activities.
- 5.Town Growth: As more players join the town, it will grow and expand. Town members can collaborate on projects, build structures, and work together to improve the overall town experience.
- 6.Towny Economics: Some Towny servers have an economy system in place. Towns can collect taxes from their residents or set up shops to generate income. This income can be used to improve town infrastructure and provide additional services to residents.
- 7.Forming Nations: Towns can choose to band together and form nations, which are alliances of multiple towns. Nations can offer greater protection, trade opportunities, and collaborative events. Towns within a nation can support each other in times of need.
Upkeep is a very important part of Towny! If your town does not pay its upkeep, it will land in debt. While your town is in debt, it is vulnerable to deletion. Luckily we have a no stealing/griefing rule, so if this were to happen, a staff member would be able to assist you in fixing the issues. If your town goes into debt, you have a limited amount of time to deposit the money required reclaim it. Use the command
/t deposit to get out of debt, this way your town won't be deleted. If you do not put money into the town within the limited timeframe, you will have to make a new town. If your town deletes, expect certain blocks to disappear, such as signs, beds, redstone, torches, doors, and pressure plates. These cannot be brought back, and should be considered a consequence of letting your town die.
You may notice you have a limited number of chunks you can claim for your town. Do not worry! There are many ways you can get more claim chunks.
The easiest and fastest way would be to join a nation. Nations, depending on its size, offer a significant amount of bonus claims.
You can see all the nations, ranked from largest to smallest, by typing
/n list. Another quick way to get more claim chunks is by buying them! By using /t buy bonus <number> you’re able to buy a set number of bonus claims. The number of bonus claims your town is able to buy, is listed in /t.The number of bonus blocks available to your town will change with its size. The town level info is listed in a paragraph below titled, Town Levels. The final way to earn additional claim blocks is by adding residents. To do this, you must invite a player to your town with
/t invite <player name>.When a player joins your town, your town will be granted 7 additional claim chunks. If this player leaves your town, and you’ve already claimed the number of chunks they brought with them, do not worry! Your town will not become unclaimed for those 7 chunks. Instead, your maximum claims will just drop down by the number you’ve lost, and you will not be able to claim more chunks until you’ve made up for the lost claims. You can do this by simply getting more players to join your town.
There are 8 different town levels your town may reach. In order to advance to the next level, your town must reach a certain number of residents. Below is a list of each town level, and the perks you unlock when you achieve it.
