Towny Minecraft Servers for 26.1

Survival with borders, taxes and neighbours

Towny is survival with local government. You found a town, claim chunks with town blocks, invite residents, set plot permissions and pay upkeep out of the town bank every day. Towns join nations, nations trade or declare war, and the map slowly fills with borders that were negotiated rather than drawn by a plugin.

It plays slower than factions and is much friendlier to people who mostly want to build. Grief is handled by permissions rather than by fighting, and most conflict is about land and taxes. Outposts, farm plots and embassy plots let a decent-sized town run a real internal economy without ever leaving its own walls.

Joining an existing town skips the hardest part, which is daily upkeep on an empty treasury. Ask what happens when a town falls — some servers unclaim the land and let it go wild, others keep the buildings standing — and check the tax rate before you accept a residency invitation.
