Economy

CivTowny World

Introduction
This server has different world schematics then normal. 🌐No Ores: There are no ores underground, and instead ores are dropped by mobs at night, or sometimes dropped by ground blocks in certain biomes (Refer to Biome Advantages in Towny Guide). Mob spawners can be used as fully automatic farms dropping ore. Mining can be time consuming and boring, in CivTowny we like to focus on empire expanding, PVP, and city building.Disabled Dimensions: Nether and End Dimensions are turned off. All blocks found in these dimensions are also dropped by mobs.More Chaotic Mobs: All mobs from different biomes, nether and end dimensions roam the wilderness at night. Nights are chaotic and very difficult to survive. Mobs drop ores and blocks from all dimensions and biomes for players to gather. Since players can only extract resources within town claims, this will allow players to still have access blocks not in there territory.More Scarcity: Towns will fight over strategic areas on the map. Tree types mostly grow in home biomes. Crops can only be placed in river biomes. Strategic mob spawners can only be placed in certain biomes. Your civilization may not have access to certain resources. Therefore you must build with what's available, make international trade happen and expand your territory. Please refer to Biome Advantages in Towny Guide.Dynamic Villager Trade: Villagers cannot reproduce. Must find zombie villagers and cure them. Use gold and emeralds to trade. Villagers only restock a few times a week.Spawners: Majority of mobs have a 1% chance of dropping it's own spawner. Spawners can be used as industrial farms to mass produce for your civilization. You can only place spawners in certain biomes, please refer to the towny guide to learn more about spawner placement. Once a player places a spawner. It CANNOT be broken, they are permanent.Map Expansion: The World map doesn't reset like on other servers. We just expand the world border with every new major update for new lands to conquer. All builds are here to stay!

Last Tips

BETA Mode
The server went live to the public on June 1st, 2025 and is still in BETA testing mode. Some commands or features may not work properly and gameplay may change over time. Please be patient and report any bugs or suggestions to make the server better in our discord channel.Joining a Town
We suggest joining a town first if you are unfamiliar with the towny plugin. You will receive invites as a newbie. Please join our discord server and look through the directory of civilizations that most interest you.Creating a Town
If you decide to immideatley create your own town. Please read the Towny and War Guides on the home page before starting. All commands, explanations, and more rules to follow as a town mayor is on there.Teleportation

1.) /town spawn to teleport to your town home chunk
2.) /n spawn to teleport to your nation home chunk
3.) /res spawn teleport to your bed
4.) Up to x10 /sethomes can only be done inside a plot that you own. To stimulate a real estate market players must travel to a city, purchase a plot, being an apartment or a home and do "/sethome (name)" example: "sethome " out of 10. You also need to be in a plot that you own to teleport to another home. You can't do /home from anywhere.Teleportation to other nations or towns spawns is disabled on this server, you must set home in a plot that you own to instantly teleport to that location.48 Hours Shield

Rules for towns

1.) No Claim Arms
All towns must grow organically outwards. Any unnatural claims that are 1-3 chunks wide and long jutting out of your main territory, either to claim a certain biome or natural resource or to block another town from claiming nearby, is not allowed. Staff will unclaim it.2.) Traps
Traps for defensive purposes are allowed on your territory's outer walls. But tricking visiting players or new players you invited into your town to fall and die in one is not allowed. Please report these incidents to staff on discord.3.) Blocking Rivers
Rivers play a crucial role in transportation across CivTowny. If a river is entirely within your town’s claims and does not serve as a major trade route, you have full control over its use. However, if a river runs between multiple civilizations, serves as a connection between two oceans via an isthmus, or is needed by upstream towns for access to the ocean, it could become a classified international waterway. In such cases, the civilization may be asked to reopen the river or construct a canal to ensure continued accessibility with gold compensation. International waterways cannot be narrowed, and the bridges above the river must be a minimum of 5 blocks tall along the entire width of the international waterway. If the request is denied, staff may use eminent domain to roll back the river to its original state in extreme cases.4.) Island Claiming
All towns are permitted a four-chunk allowance for claiming ocean biomes. Island claims are allowed if the island is within 2,000 blocks of your home continent. To reach an island, you have to claim the land in front of you and then unclaim the chunk behind you as you progress.5.) Contiguous Landmass
All town claims must be a contiguous landmass as possible. Claiming land across the ocean to another continent is not allowed. You may send a settler to create another town and have them join your nation.6.) Town Names
Any town name, regardless of how ridiculous it is or whether it is based on real-world locations, is allowed as long as it's not offensive to other players.7.) Happy Ghast, Boat Transportation
Towns and Nations have a right to impose water and air restrictions. They may attack, shoot down enemies riding Happy Ghasts flying over there territory or boats and take any cargo.8.) Validating Claims
Towns must actively utilize all claimed territory. To validate claims, towns should develop infrastructure such as roads, railways, small settlements, houses, or farms. If a town claims excessive land—such as 10,000 chunks in a crowded area of the world—with 90% of it being empty territory, staff may give 30 days to validate claims or face town reduction.9.) Automated Farms
To ensure the server runs smoothly, restrictions are already in place on the number of animals, pistons, hoppers, and other redstone blocks allowed per chunk. We ask players to avoid building excessively large automated farms that could cause lag. If a specific area is found to be negatively impacting server performance, staff may roll back the affected chunks to maintain stability.10.) River Farming
Crops can only be grown on river biomes. If a river is an international waterway, then crops can only be grown on the banks of the river edge. Crops can be grown in a building above the international waterway, as long as it's 5 blocks above the water.11.)Nations
Nations must also be as contiguous and connected as possible. Nations have a 5000 block claim radius, it may change later on.Scroll further down for the nation rules, and go to war tab on home page for overclaim and war plugin commands and rules.

Mayor Tips

1.) Settle Far Away
Settle your town as far away from the center of the world as possible so you can have room to expand, less conflicts, and wars.2.) Settle Near Preferred Biome and Rivers
It is advised to settle on the borders of different biomes to take full advantage of them, and the home chunk should sit on a river edge for transportation and food production. This server is generated in large biomes, and every biome has different resources, check biome advantages section below, settle in what's your priority.2.) Stay Small
All towns have a starting land claim balance of 5000. To be 100% protected from all wars and having your land stolen, stay under 5000.3.) Be Aware of Overlcaim
If you decide to go over 5000 land claims, all your important builds should be as far away as possible from the wilderness. Every additional player that joins your town gives you +1000 additional allowance to 5000 base. If you manage to invite 3 players and expand to 8000 claims, if two of them decide to leave, you now have 8000/6000 overclaim. A bordering town could steal chunks of land from you until claims is back below your claim allowance. While it's a slow and expensive process of one chunk every 30 minutes for 25g each, griefing is allowed in all territories stolen.4.) Protect Builds
Mobs don't disappear when entering your claims. Protect your prized and expensive buildings by constructing them in the center of your town claims, away from the wilderness. Invest in walls around your civilization to keep mobs out.5.) Joining Contests
You may earn free bonus land claims by entering into monthly building contests. The server owner will choose the top nominees, and players will do rank voting on all of them. 1st place is 1000 bonus claims. 2nd place is 500 bonus claims. 3rd place is 250 bonus claims. The rest of the nominees have 100 bonus claims each.6.) City Achievements
You may also earn more bonus town claims by building great cities. Please scroll down further to read city Achievements details to win more land claims.

Gameplay

Blaze Spawner Reactor

1.) Introduction: Blaze Spawner Reactors are just Blaze Spawners. They CANNOT be broken and are permanent once placed or naturally spawned. Be careful when placing spawners!2.) How to find Spawners: Spawners can be found underground in dungeons or dropped by Ender Dragons. If underground, you must build a factory farm around the spawner. If you want special place to build an auto farm inside your city, you must kill an ender dragon and place it where you'd like. Blaze spawners don't spawn naturally and must need blaze egg to convert it.3.) Regular Spawners: Spawners without blaze egg are naturally pig spawners. You may use it as a food source in any biome.4.) Convert into Blaze Spawner Reactor: In the wilds at night, Zombie Villager's have 1% chance of dropping zombie head when killed by a player in any biome (May change to become rarer later on). You then must find or cure a Cleric Villager, They trade zombie head + netherite block for Blaze Egg. You then convert any spawner natural or found into a Blaze Spawner by right clicking the egg onto the spawner.5.) Biome Factory Farms Blaze's drop different blocks in each biome to become a fully automatic farm. This is a great resource for a civilization to boost it's economy. Look at Biome Advantage down below to see what drops in your biome.6.) Warning: Blaze's DOES NOT drop anything in Forests, Savanna, Badlands Biomes. Do not place your spawners here. Pig Spawners work everywhere though.
