Towns And Claims

Towny protects land in square townblocks. A town owns its claimed townblocks. A mayor can keep a townblock for the town or offer a plot inside it to a resident.

Before You Claim

Use /towny map to see nearby townblocks.
Use /town here to check the land where you stand.
Leave space around other towns and active builds.
Check /towny prices before you spend town money.

Claim Land For A Town

You must be the mayor or have a town rank that can claim land.

Stand in the land that you want to add.
Use /town claim to claim the current townblock.
Use /town claim auto only when you want to claim several nearby townblocks.
Use /town unclaim to remove the current townblock from your town.

Check the map after each change. Unclaimed land is no longer protected by your town.

Give A Plot To A Resident

The mayor stands in a town-owned plot and uses /plot forsale <price>.
The resident stands in that plot and uses /plot claim.
The resident uses /plot perm to review its protection.

Use /plot notforsale to remove a town-owned plot from sale. Use /plot unclaim to give up a personal plot.

/plot trust add <player> gives one player access to the plot where you stand.
/plot trust remove <player> removes that access.
/plot perm gui opens the permission menu.
/plot set perm outsider off blocks all outsider actions on the current plot.
/plot set perm outsider switch on lets outsiders use switches without letting them build.
/plot set perm reset restores the current plot to its town or resident defaults.

Trust only players who need access. Check the plot after you change a permission.

Town-Wide Protection

Mayors can use /town set perm to set the default protection for town-owned plots. A town-wide change can affect many builds. Use /town set perm ? to read the in-game options before you apply one.
