Towny Basics

What is a Town?

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.

Mayor	Founder and administrator of the town
Resident	Player who joins a town

Claimed land protects:

Against non-residents building or breaking blocks

Deposit: /t deposit [amount] [town name]
Withdraw: /t withdraw [amount]

Creating and Managing Your Town

Creating a Town

1. Hire an Architect from Lord Crowley at spawn.

2. Lead the Architect to your desired location, it must be 128 blocks (8 chunks) away from another town.
3. Right-click the Architect and select "Create Town".
4. The chunk you stand in becomes the homeblock, and your exact position becomes the town spawn.

Set spawn: /t set spawn
Set homeblock: /t set homeblock

Membership

Rename town: /t set name [new name]
Invite: /t add [username]
