Default Resident Permissions

All town members automatically have access to:

• Deposit money: /t deposit (amount)
• Town Spawn: /t spawn
• Town Lists: /t list
• Town Reclaim: /t reclaim
• Leaving Town: /t leave

Town Board

The town board is a customizable message set by town mayor. It serves as a public announcement for both residents and visitors.

To create or update your town board message, use the command: /t set board (your message) Once set, the board will be visible in the following places:

• Residents: Displayed when residents join the server and in /t.
• Visitors: Shown in the town’s info screen via /t (town name).

Closed/Open Town

By default, all towns are set to closed status, meaning they are invite-only. Players can only join a closed town if they are invited by a town official, typically a Mayor, Co-Mayor, Deputy Mayor, or Assistant.
If a town is set to open, any player can freely join using the command, /t join (town name). Open towns are marked with (Open) next to their name in the town list displayed via: /t list
Mayor, Co-mayor, Deputy Mayor can toggle their town’s status between open and closed at any time with: /t toggle open

Identifying Public Towns

Public towns are marked with (Public) in their town info screen (e.g., /t or /t [town name]). Additionally, the homeblock’s chunk coordinates are shown for public towns.

Changing Public Status

To toggle between public and private status, use: /t toggle public

Town Taxes

Towns can impose multiple types of taxes to sustain steward upkeep, encourage participation, and manage land ownership. Taxes apply daily and can be adjusted by town Mayor, Co-Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Steward, Financial Manager.

Resident Tax

This is a general tax charged to all town members.

• Set using: /t set taxes (amount or percentage)
• Toggle flat vs. percentage mode: /t toggle taxpercent

Flat Tax

• Charges a fixed amount from each resident's balance daily.
  • If a resident cannot pay, they are automatically removed from the town.

Percentage Tax

• Charges a percentage of each resident’s current balance.
  • Residents unable to pay are also removed.
• Use /t set taxpercentcap (amount) to set a maximum tax limit.

Resident Plot Tax

A per-plot tax charged to residents who own plots within the town.

• Set using: /t set plottax (amount)
  • If a resident cannot pay, ownership of the affected plots is revoked.
  • Unpaid plots are automatically listed for sale.

Shop Plot Tax

Tax applied specifically to plots containing shop signs or shops.

• Set using: /t set shoptax (amount)
  • Failure to pay results in loss of the shop plot.

Embassy Plot Tax

A tax applied to non-residents who own embassy plots in your town.

  • If unpaid, the embassy plot is removed from the owner and returned to town control.

Tax Stacking

Taxes are additive. Below are common stacking examples:

• A non-resident who owns an embassy plot pays: Plot Tax + Embassy Plot Tax

Titles and Surnames

In both towns and nations, players with the appropriate permissions can assign custom titles and surnames to residents. These appear in chat and consist of:

• A title (prefix) displayed before the player’s name
• A surname (suffix) displayed after the player’s name

Both titles and surnames may be up to 15 characters long.

Transferring Mayorship

The current Mayor of a town can choose to step down and pass their leadership role to another trusted resident.

How to Transfer Mayorship

To assign a new Mayor, use the following command: /t set mayor (player) Once the transfer is successful:

• The selected resident becomes the new Mayor with full leadership powers.
• The previous Mayor is automatically demoted to a regular resident and loses all assigned town ranks.

Note: Only transfer mayorship if absolutely necessary and only to someone you trust completely. The new Mayor will have full control over the town, including its claims, finances, ranks, and even the ability to delete or rename the town.

Deleting a Town

Deleting a town will cause the town to go into ruin and after 24 hours of being in ruin will be permanent deleted. The following will be deleted when the town gets deleted.

• Name and identity
• Claimed land
• Residents and their roles
• Town bank balance
• Steward and infrastructure
  • Only the Mayor has the authority to delete the town.

How to Delete a Town

To delete your town:

• Withdraw funds first. Any money left in the town bank will be permanently lost. Use: /t withdraw (amount)
• Delete the town: /t delete
• Then confirm with: /confirm

After confirmation, the town enters a ruin period, where its former territory can be reclaimed or looted by others.

Town Ruin Period

When a town falls into ruin, whether due to inactivity or deletion, it enters a 24-hour ruin period. During this time:

• All town Stewards are downgraded to Level 1, except for the Bailiff.
• If the town is not reclaimed within 24 hours, it is permanently deleted, and all data (bank, claims, residents, etc.) is lost.

Reclaiming a Ruined Town

Former residents may reclaim a ruined town during the 24-hour window using: /t reclaim

• Reclaiming costs 500⌾, deducted from the player's personal balance.
• The player who reclaims the town becomes the new Mayor.
• Upon reclaim:
  • The town is fully restored under the new leadership.
  • A 7-day activity grace period begins.

If the town does not meet the required activity threshold within those 7 days, it will re-enter ruin, and the cycle may repeat.
