Towny Guide

Towny allows players to create and manage their own towns and nations. With Towny, you can claim and protect land, govern your town with ranks and permissions, and engage in economic activities through town banks and taxes. Form alliances, participate in wars, and build a thriving community with fellow players, all while enjoying a structured and immersive multiplayer experience.

Costs and Economy

• Cost to Start a Town: $30,000
• Town Upkeep Cost: $100 per day
• Cost per Town Block Claim: $5,000
• Purchase Bonus Block Price: $4,000
• Cost to Start a Nation: $300,000
• Nation Upkeep Cost: $500 per day

Very Important: You have to make sure your town bank has enough money to pay the daily upkeep cost or your town will fall into ruin. This is the same with a nation.

Getting Started

Once you start a town, you will become the mayor. You can then begin building and expanding your town. Residents can rent land from you to build their houses or shops. You can also charge non-residents to visit your town. Players who want to join a town must be invited by the mayor or a town assistant.

Town Features

• Public/Private Towns: As the mayor, you can decide if you want your town to be open to everyone for teleportation or make it private.
• Shop Claims: Mayors can set town plots as shop claims, allowing residents to set up chest shops. This is a great way to generate income, even while you are offline.
• Mob Protection: Towns are safe from mobs, which will despawn once they enter a town.
• Town Spawn Point: Set a spawn point in your town for residents and visitors to easily teleport to a central location.
• Plot Permissions: Customize permissions for different plots, such as build, destroy, switch, and item use permissions.
• Allied Towns: Form alliances with other towns for mutual protection and cooperation.
• Town Ranks: Create and assign custom ranks within your town, such as assistant, builder, or merchant, each with specific permissions.

Starting a Town: A Basic Guide

Creating and managing a town in Towny can be an exciting way to build a community and protect your land. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Gather Resources

Before you can start a town, ensure you have enough in-game currency. It costs $30000 to start a town and the daily upkeep is $100 per day.

Step 2: Choose a Location

Find a suitable location for your town. Make sure it's in the wilderness and not already claimed by another player or town. Make sure there are no nearby claims so you can expand your town over time.

Step 3: Create Your Town

Once you have the required resources and location, you can create your town. Use the following command:

/town new [town name]

Replace [town name] with the desired name for your town. For example:

/town new Lakeview

Make sure you are standing in the area where you want to start your town when starting a town.

Step 4: Claim Land for Your Town

Now that your town is created, you need to claim land for it. Stand in the chunk (16x16 block area) you want to claim and use the following command:

/town claim

To claim additional chunks, move to the next chunk and repeat the command.

Tip: You can press F3 + G to toggle the chunk grid view so you can see the chunk borders.

Step 5: Set Up a Town Spawn

Set up a spawn point where residents can teleport to. Stand at the desired location and use the command:

/town set spawn

Step 6: Invite Residents

Invite players to join your town. Use the following command to send an invitation to a player:

/town invite [player]

Replace [player] with the player's username. For example:

/town invite Jblack

Step 7: Manage Town Plots

Divide your town into plots that residents can claim and build on. You can sell or assign plots using the following commands:

Put a plot for sale:

/plot fs [price]

Replace [price] with the amount of in-game currency you want to sell the plot for.

Remove a plot from sale:

/plot nfs

Claim a plot:

/plot claim

Step 8: Configure Town Settings

Customize your town settings to suit your needs. Here are some useful commands:

Set taxes for residents:

/town set taxes [amount]

Toggle town options (e.g., PvP, mobs):

/town toggle [option]

Step 9: Manage Town Ranks and Permissions

Assign ranks to residents to give them specific permissions. Use the following commands:

Add a rank to a resident:

/town rank add [player] [rank]

Ranks include assistant and helper. Before assigning these ranks please make sure you understand the permissions they get!

Remove a rank from a resident:

/town rank remove [player] [rank]

Step 10: Stay Informed

Regularly check your town's status and finances. Use the following command to view your town's information:

/town

Please note: Make sure your town permissions are correct and you are aware of them. When your town is open it means anyone can join it. When your town is public, anyone can teleport to your town spawn. Ensure residents don't have build permissions in town areas - this can be checked in the town menu that can be opened with the /tm command.

By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to creating and managing a thriving town on SA Crafters.

Very Important: You have to make sure your town bank has enough money to pay the daily upkeep cost or your town will fall into ruin. This is the same with a nation.
