Server Guide
Towns
Towns are player-run communities where members can build together, share facilities, and protect their land. Joining a town is encouraged, but players may remain independent.
Joining a Town
After completing 30 minutes of active gameplay, while you get familiar with the server and gear up in the resource world, you can apply to join a recruiting town.
Towns are not open-join. A mayor, deputy, or recruiter must approve your request. Recruiting towns can be found through the recruitment board at spawn, Discord, or the town listing.
New residents usually receive a free residential plot prepared by the town.
Creating a Town
Players cannot create towns directly with a command. To found a town, submit a request through Discord containing:
- The proposed town name and mayor
- Any founding members
- Your preferred biome or region
- Any other information, such as the type of settlement you want to build, if the town will be open, etc
One founder is enough, although applications with two or more committed founders will be prioritized. A staff member will approve the location and create the town.
Town Land
Town territory is divided into chunk-based claims. Claims protect buildings, containers, farms, and other property from unauthorized changes.
A town’s claim allowance is based on its number of residents. Claims should normally be connected and should not block roads, surround other towns, or create long claim corridors.
Town land may be used for:
- Personal residential plots
- Roads and public spaces
- Shared farms and workshops
- Markets and shops
- Large collaborative builds
Town leaders decide how land is organized and which plots residents may claim.
Town Roles
Mayors manage the town, its residents, claims, permissions, and plots.
Deputies assist with town management, planning, and land claims.
Recruiters review membership requests and welcome new residents.
Residents may build on their plots, use shared facilities, and participate in town projects.
