Updated guide for the new Towny server!
This version of towny includes custom terrain! Plenty of roads with street names to start your towns in! Bridges across oceans and tunnels through mountains! Roadways will generate in 16x16 plots for easy building.

Getting Started
Towny is all about making towns with other players and, similar to Factions, it allows you to claim land for your town and for yourself if you are part of a town, keeping your builds safe.

Here is a brief rundown of commands you will need at the start of playing on this server

• /t new <name> allows the creation of the town and requires $250 to create.
• /t list shows a list of the towns on the server including open ones.
• /t join <name> allows you to join open towns on the server.
• /tgui brings up a list of gui's you can use
• /t claim allows the town Mayor or Assistants to claim land for the town.
• /t claim outpost allows to claim land away from the main town.
• /t unclaim allows the Mayor to unclaim chunk of town land.
• /t add <name> allows the Mayor and Assistants to invite players to the town.
• /t kick <name> allows a Mayor to remove a player from the town.
• /plot fs <price> allows a Mayor or Assistant to put a chunk of land up for sale and make it claimable for town residents.
• /plot claim allows residents to claim a chunk of land that has been placed up for sale.
• /plot unclaim allows residents to unclaim their personal chunk and put it back up for sale.
• /t spawn allows players to teleport to the town's spawn point set when the town was founded. You can add the name of another town when using this command and, if public, you can teleport to that town for a cost.

Roles

Towns have roles that can be issued to residents to give them permissions and roles on the town.

Use this command to add roles: /t rank add [playername] [rank]

• Mayor This is normally the town founder. They have full control over the town and can build, destroy, open chests and use items anywhere in the town including in other residents' personal plots. Has the ability to change plot permissions, toggle PVP, toggle mob spawning, and toggle explosions and fire spread.
• Assistant This is a role the Mayor may grant to residents of the town. This role essentially creates "co-mayors" of the town. They can automatically do everything the Mayor can do with the exception of building and destroying on personal plots. However, they can change plot permissions to enable this ability. Additionally assistants cannot unclaim plots from the town.
• Sheriff This role enables a resident to send rule breakers to the town jail as well as release jailed residents. Only the Sheriff can do this.
• Helper This role is a cosmetic role a Mayor can award a residents to distinguish them as a town's staff member for general help and support for residents of the town.
• VIP This is another cosmetic role given to residents by a Mayor to set important players apart from the other residents. This is purely cosmetic, just as Helper, and does not serve any other purpose.

Resident This is a normal player or member of the town. Everyone in the town is a resident by default.

Day to Day Running
Towny runs on the premise that on a set time of each 24 hours, every town on the server pays the server an upkeep price. Upkeep is automatically collected by the server. If this payment cannot be met, the town will disband and all claims will be dissolved. Upkeep varies depending on how the amount of residents in a town.

You can find upkeep cost by using /t and finding "Daily upkeep".


Town Income
Income for the town can be found in a number of ways, including taxes, selling items, and donations.

Taxes can be set by the Mayor in one of two ways. A set price each day or a percentage of the residents' in-game balance. Using /t set taxes <amount> and /tgui town allows you to change the number or percentage setting.

Town members can donate any extra cash to the town bank using /t deposit <amount>

There are more advanced ways involving the tax system. Seeing as this is the basic guide, those ways will not be covered.

Money can be earned by selling items to the server using /sell hand while holding the item you wish to sell.
