Creating a Town
Learn how to make your very own town.
Establishing Your Town
To create your town (which also sets the homeblock at the same spot), stand at the desired location and type /t new [Town Name]. Spaces in the name will be replaced with underscores upon submission.
Attention
You should have at least $2 500 in-game money for establishing the town, plus an additional $5 000 to $10 000 for claiming land and covering initial upkeep costs. Failure to afford the costs will lead to your town being bankrupt, and after a certain period of time, the town will be accessible to everyone!
Funding Your Town
After creating your town, ensure its financial stability by depositing funds. We recommend starting with $7 500 to $10 000. This is crucial as daily upkeep costs are proportional to the number of town members. Upkeep fees are deducted daily at a specified time, visible with /towny time. Town funds are also used for purchasing bonus claim blocks and expanding land.
Claiming Land
Land is claimed per chunk. To view the chunk boundaries, press F3 + G. You start with one claimed chunk (which is called your homeblock). To claim additional chunks, stand in an adjacent unclaimed chunk and type /t claim (each claim costs $250). You can expand your town size by joining a nation or purchasing bonus townblocks by typing /t buy bonus [Amount] (each bonus claim costs $500).
Taxation
You can impose taxes on residents to cover town expenses. Choose between a fixed daily fee for all residents by typing /t set taxes [Amount] or a percentage of each resident's balance, up to 10% of $10,000, whichever is lower, toggled with /t toggle taxpercent. Taxes are collected alongside daily upkeep. Noble residents and town staff members are exempt from taxes, which may affect resident recruitment.
