Towny

Intro: Towny is a land claim and community development plugin that allows users to claim areas of wilderness for protection. Within these claims, town members make the rules, including (but not limited to) firespread, hostile mob protection, redstone access, and build/break permissions. For a more in-depth guide to towny, visit their Github.

TIP: Towny uses chunks (16x16 grids) as its claims. You can view these on Java by using 'F3 + G'.

TIP: As more players join your town, so will your town's ability to claim more land. Buy more claims with '/t buy bonus <#>'

Commands:

Public - Town Admins
/t new <townname> - Creates a new town in the chunk you are standing.
/t claim - Claims adjacent chunks from the wilderness (must be attached to pre-existing claims)
/t buy bonus <#> - Buys a certain amount of chunks for your town.
/t rank add <playername> <town-rank> - Promotes / Demotes town member, giving / taking permission from them within the towns borders.
/town set perm <perm> <on/off> - Change town permissions on claimed land.
/plot <fs/nfs> <$> - Places a public town claim up for sale for town members to claim privately (private claims give town members claim to their own piece of protected land within the town)

Private - Town Members
/plot claim - Claims a piece of land for sale privately
/resident friend add <player> - Adds a player to your friends list
/plot set perm friend <on/off> - Allows your friends to build on your privately owned plot

Jobs

Intro: Starting at Apprentice rank, you can get a job. (/jobs browse and select an option or /jobs join <option>). With jobs, you can earn money quickly on the server when actively doing the job. In combination with certain tools that have job boosts- bought from NPCs scattered around spawn or crates- and server job boosts- bought from /pointshop or the 2x weekend boost- you can earn even more money!


Be careful with the jobs you choose, as you can only have a certain number at a time. You can always leave a job but you would lose that progress. And as you rank up, you’ll have more job slots, allowing you to have up to 5 jobs at once.


Jobs are a leveling system, just like skills and pets. As you level up in a job, you’ll have access to more tools with higher boosts, and you’ll earn more from the job in general.


TIP: Start out with jobs that you often do, such as mining, woodcutter, or crafter. As you earn more slots, choose jobs that coincide with what you normally do; hunt mobs (naturally spawning) use hunter; if you enjoy building, go with builder; farm, farmer and so on.


Ranks that increase max jobs:

Apprentice ($1 Thousand) - 1 Job Slot

Noble ($50 Thousand) - 2 Job Slots

Viscount ($350 Thousand) - 3 Job Slots

Earl ($500 Thousand) - 4 Job Slots

Marquess ($1 Million) - 5 Job Slots
