Economy

CivTowny World

Introduction
This server has different world schematics then normal. 🌐Less Ores: Ores are available between Y20 - Y50. On average four viens total per chunk near the surface, different in each biome. X-Raying is ALLOWED. Less time mining and more focus on expanding, PVP, and building.Disabled Dimensions: Nether and End Dimensions are turned off.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 only grow in home biomes. Crops only grow on river biomes. Both grow 5x slower.Dynamic Villager Trade: Villagers cannot reproduce. Must find zombie villagers and cure them. Use gold and emeralds to trade.Spawners: About 100 spawners exsist throughout the server. They cannot be broken. You have to claim them under your town territory to use them. Build a mob farm around it and drop resources automatically.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 April 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.Creating a Camp
If your not ready to join a town or create your own, there's a third option. With towny camps you can find a spot you like and place a campfire down. You will receive temporary plot ownership over that chunk for 30 days. You must replace the campfire every 30 days to keep it.Teleportation
Every player has 4 teleportations:
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 (number)" example: "sethome 5" 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 is disabled on this server.48 Hours Shield
All newbies have a 48 hour forcefield starting now. Use this opportunity to travel far out and create your base.Good Luck!

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 city may be asked to reopen the river or construct a canal to ensure continued accessibility with gold compensation. River 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 1,000 blocks of any other territory owned by your town. To reach an island, you have to claim the land in front of you and then unclaim the chunk behind you as you progress. However, islands that are too far from your existing territory cannot be claimed. If a claim is deemed excessive or disconnected, staff can unclaim it.5.) Contiguous Landmass
All town claims must be a contiguous landmass as possible. Claiming land without it being connected to another landmass far away is not allowed. Staff will unclaim chunks of land far away.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.) Building Roads in Wilderness
Since the wilderness is unbuildable, a claim arm from one town to another at maximum 2000 blocks away to build a road, minecart rail, or ice track, and then unclaimed is allowed. Make sure your routes are lit up, or else mobs will spawn on them at night.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.) Toll Roads
International rivers must always be free for players. But player built highways, ice track, or rails are allowed to have tolls or fees. 1g is the maximum per town it goes through. This can be done using a trap chest shop, x25 repeaters used as timers, and pistons to open a doorway, must be open for at least 10 seconds to let the player through.11.) 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, The River width CANNOT be narrowed. Crops can be grown in a building above the river, as long as it's 5 blocks above the water.Scroll further down for the nation rules, and go to war tab on home page for overlclaim 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.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. While it's a slow and expensive process of one chunk every 30 minutes, griefing is allowed in all territories stolen.4.) Protect Builds
Explosions caused by mobs are ON inside town claims and they dont dissapear when entering. Protect your prized and expensive buildings by constructing them in the center of your town claims, away from the wilderness.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.5.) Joining Contests
