Towny

ADK's main plugin for protection of grief is the Towny plugin, a popular plugin that allows claiming of land, and teamwork between players.

Why Have a Town?#

There are plenty of benefits to joining a town over just living in the wild, so we wanted to list a few of the reasons why you may want to consider creating or joining a town:

  • Extra grief protection - players cannot break or steal from areas claimed in a town
  • Working with others - with towns, you can play with other players and enjoy the benefits of working together
  • RPG - Towns provide a unique place to role play to your heart's content
  • Mines and Brewery - two plugins of ADK that work specifically in towns and add a bunch of features to the game that you wont want to miss out on.

Town Upkeep#

One of the customizations ADK has is the economic impact of towns. In order to stay running, towns must pay their daily upkeep which is determined by player count. This chart explains the configuration we use:

Town Ranks#

Towny provides different ranks a mayor can give to their residents, giving them perms to help out around the town. These ranks and their permissions are as follows:

  • Mayor - Owner of the town, has full control and access to all commands
  • Co-Mayor - Similar to mayor, has access to all commands except selecting a new mayor or deleting the town
  • Manager - Has full control over plot types and plot management/claiming.
  • Recruiter - Has permissions to recruit players to the town and put plots up for sale
  • Sheriff - Can add outlaws and send residents to jail
  • Architect - Can build in all plots claimed by the town
  • Worker - Can only build in public plots, no resident-claimed plots like the Architect
  • Exempt - Not affected by town taxes

ADK Towny#

ADK has some special plugins and features that affect towny in ways you wont see on any other server. With the customization of upkeep and ranks, and the addition of plugins like Mines and Brewery, there are endless options for what you can do in a town
