'''Towny''' is a land protection and town/nation management plugin for Minecraft. It allows players to create towns, claim land, form nations, protect property, and cooperate with others through ranks and alliances. It adds strategic elements like diplomacy, taxation, and territory control.

A '''Town''' is a player-created community that can claim chunks to protect them from other players. The player who creates the town becomes the '''Mayor'''. The Mayor can claim Wilderness chunks to turn them into protected town land.

Players who join the town are called '''Residents'''.

 

==Town Bank==

 

Each town has its own '''Town Bank''' used to manage the town's economy and pay for:

 

====Bank Access====

* Anyone can deposit money into the bank by using the comannd <code>/t deposit [amount] [town name]</code>

* Only the following town ranks can withdraw money or view the bank's transaction history.

 

To view the town’s bank transaction history, use the following command:<code>/t bankhistory</code>

 

 

 

# Go to the spawn area and hire an '''Architect'''.

# The Architect will follow you as you explore, even inbetween worlds. 

# When you find a suitable location, right-click the Architect and select "Create Town". 

# This will establish your town, and you will automatically become the Mayor.

 

The chunk you are standing in when creating the town will become the homeblock. The exact block you are standing on will become the town spawn, to travel to town spawn do <code>/t spawn</code>. If your a Mayor, Co-Mayor & Deputy Mayor and want to change the location of town spawn do <code>/t set spawn</code>, or change the homeblock location using <code>/t set homeblock</code>

 

* Your town must be at least 128 blocks (8 chunks) away from another town.

* If you are too close to another town, you will not be able to create a new one.

 

====Renaming Your Town====

To rename your town, use the command <code>/t set name [new town name]</code>.

After creating your town, you can invite players who aren't already in a town by using the command<code>/t add [username]</code>.

====Leaving and Removing Players====

Residents can leave the town anytime using <code>/t leave</code>. The mayor can also kick players from the town with <code>/t kick [username]</code>.

==Active Upkeep==

ActiveUpkeep replaces the default Towny upkeep. Instead of requiring money to sustain your town, players must now remain active to keep it thriving. A variety of in-game actions contribute to a player’s individual activity score.

Every player has an activity score that fluctuates based on their daily engagement, players must reach the activity threshold to be considered an active member of a town. The maximum score you can achieve far exceeds the threshold, allowing you to “bank” activity for a period of time. However your score will decay over time and will decrease faster the longer you haven’t played but slower if you have been consistently active.

If all residents of a town become inactive, the town will be marked as inactive, if this continues for 4 days then the town will be removed from the nation it’s in, this serves as a warning sign that the town is inactive. The town then has 3 days to increase activity otherwise on the 7th day of inactivity the town will go to ruin.

====Checking Activity====

Players can check their own activity and that of other players by typing <code>/activity</code> or <code>/activity [username]</code>.

Claiming is the process of converting an unclaimed chunk from the wilderness into part of your town’s territory. Every claimed chunk is referred to as a claim or town plot.

 

 

To add a new claim, stand on a wilderness chunk that is adjacent to your current town claims and type <code>/t claim</code>. After the first 3 or 4 first claimed chunks, any addtional claims must be adjecent to atleast 3 of your town's existing claims.

A town can have a maximum of 690 total claims. The claim bonus from active members caps at 500, which is fully reached once 14 residents are active. Any additional active residents beyond that point won’t increase the town's claim capacity further, however you can still add them into your town.

 

=== Claim Cost Breakdown ===

==Buying & Owning Plots==

Any member of a town—including the Mayor—can own plots (chunks) within the town. These are known as resident plots. Once claimed, a resident has personal control over the plot and can use it however they like, within town rules. Residents can own multiple plots.

==== Claiming a Plot ====

To claim a resident plot, it must first be '''put up for sale''':

The '''mayor''' (or other authorized official) stands on the plot and types:<br>

<code>/plot forsale (price)</code> <br>

A '''resident or mayor''' can then claim the plot by standing on it and typing:<br>

<code>/plot claim</code> <br>

Plots can be set at '''0⌾''' to allow free claiming, effectively granting the land.

To '''remove a plot from sale''', the mayor can stand on the plot and types:<br> <code>/plot notforsale</code> <br>

To '''unclaim a plot''', a resident can stand within their own plot and types:<br> <code>/plot unclaim</code>

== Joining a Nation ==

To join a nation, a town must meet the following conditions:

* The town’s '''Mayor must be invited''' by an existing nation or create a nation themselves.

==== Accepting or Denying a Nation Invite ====

If a town has received a nation invitation, the Mayor can respond using one of the following commands:

* To accept the invitation: <code>/accept (nation name)</code>

* To deny the invitation: <code>/deny (nation name)</code>

Once accepted, the town officially becomes part of the nation.

To view the current nation tax rate, use: <code>/towny prices</code> or <code>/n</code>
