Towny

Towny Information

Towny is a land claiming plugin that lets you create towns and claim land with them. Towns add an entirely new layer of gameplay to the server. Towns can be sources of political drama, the birthplace of an economic empire, or even a regional power that has plans to rule the world. There are endless possibilities, but the primary purpose of Towny is to protect your land from outsiders. You have full control of the land that your town has claimed, and you can modify the permissions of your town, sell portions of your land to your residents to live on, have embassies built on your land from other towns, create farms, etc.

Nations are collections of towns that have decided to work together. Nation upkeep is very steep compared to towns. Nations are costly to make. Additionally, towns can be tricky to run if you are new, so we suggest you join one and learn how towns work before diving into creating one of your own.

Section 1: Upkeep and Costs

As stated above, nations are expensive. Towns costs $5,000 to make and Nations cost $75,000 to create. The upkeep for nations is $1,000 per town in the nation. The upkeep for towns is based on the amount of land you have claimed. Each piece of land you have claimed costs $25 per day to maintain. Land costs $25 to claim. You can purchase more claims by typing /town buy bonus [amount]. Bonus claims cost $10,000 per claim, to a maximum of 750 bonus claims.
