Towns
General#
Towns are the heart of survival: protected territory where only you and your townmates can build. Create your own with /towny create <name> - founding is free, but you need at least 121 claim blocks to cover the starting area, and towns can only be created out in the wild. Names are 3 to 16 characters, letters only.
Once your town exists, growing it is all about claiming more land with claim blocks.
Town Size and Members#
Bigger towns hold more people. Your member cap grows with your claimed area:
| Claimed Blocks | Max Members |
|---|---|
| Up to 122 | 1 |
| Up to 250 | 2 |
| Up to 500 | 3 |
| Up to 1,000 | 4 |
| Up to 2,500 | 5 |
| Up to 5,000 | 6 |
| Up to 10,000 | 7 |
| Up to 25,000 | 8 |
| Beyond 25,000 | 15 |
A town's claim can stretch up to 250 blocks per side. Towns also have a level, shown in /towny info, that grows with members and claimed land - the biggest towns top the /towny top leaderboard.
Ranks#
Every member holds a rank. Promote and demote with /towny promote and /towny demote:
| Rank | Can Do |
|---|---|
| Recruit | Use the town spawn, deposit to the bank |
| Resident | Build, buy town upgrades |
| Council | Claim land, set the spawn, invite and kick, withdraw from the bank, promote and demote |
| Founder | Everything, plus open or close the town and disband it |
Each rank includes everything below it.
Town Upgrades#
Upgrades are town-wide perks bought with in-game money (paid by the buyer - any Resident or above can purchase). Open them with /towny upgrade:
| Upgrade | Effect | Tiers and Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Crop Growth | Crops grow faster inside your town | +10% $50k, +20% $150k, +30% $250k, +40% $500k, +50% $1M |
| No Hunger | No hunger loss inside your town | $100k |
| Flight | Members can fly inside your town | $1M |
| Max Warps | Raises your town warp cap | 3 warps $10k, 8 $25k, 15 $75k, 25 $150k |
Town Warps#
Towns can set named warps inside their claims - handy for farms, shops, and builds. Set them from inside your territory and browse them with /town warps. The Max Warps upgrade raises how many your town can hold.
Town Bank#
The town bank is shared savings: anyone can /towny deposit, Council and above can /towny withdraw, and /towny balance shows the total.

Protection#
Inside your claims, outsiders cannot build, break, or open containers. Griefing towns is against the rules even where protection has gaps - report anything that slips through.
