Default Plots:

These plots do not need any specific command to be designated.

They are put up for sale with /plot forsale {$$}.
A plot which is not of default type can be reset to a default plot with /plot set reset.

Shop Plots:

Shop plots are designated with /plot set shop.

Mayor can use /town set shopprice {$$} to set how much shop plots are sold at by default. This can be overridden when a mayor puts the actual plot up for sale with /plot forsale {$$}.
A mayor can also charge an additional shop tax with /town set shoptax {$$}. This tax is charged in addition to the normal plot tax.

Arena Plots:

Arena plots are designated with /plot set arena.

PVP is on all the time in arena plots as well as friendly-fire damage. Town health regen is also disabled in arena plots.

Embassy Plots:

Embassy plots are designated with /plot set embassy.

A mayor can use /town set embassyprice {$$} to set how much embassy plots are sold at by default. This can be overridden when a mayor puts the actual plot up for sale with /plot forsale {$$}.
A mayor can also charge an additional embassy tax with /town set embassytax {$$}. This tax is charged in addition to the normal plot tax.
An embassy plot can be bought by any player, whether they are in a town or not. The town block remains owned by the host-town and a mayor from the host-town can take the plot from the owner at any time.
Embassy plots can also be changed into shop plots, allowing for larger shop towns, where many different towns' players can set up shops.
When a player leaves a town they do not lose ownership of their plots if those plots are set to be Embassy plots.

Wilds Plots:

Wilds plots are designated with /plot set wilds.

A wilds plot allows residents to destroy the blocks found on the wild ignore ID list. This includes ores, trees, flowers, mushrooms and other harvest-able blocks by default. It does not include stone, dirt, grass and other terrain blocks.
It is useful for creating tree farms, and protecting the terrain around a town, while still allowing residents to cut trees and explore caves.

Inn Plots:

Inn plots are designated with /plot set inn.

An Inn plot allows anyone to use a bed to set their '/res spawn' and spawn on death. The Inn plot will still deny a player who is in a nation declared as an enemy by your nation.

Jail plots:

Not set up on CC.

Farm Plots:

Farm plots are designated with /plot set farm

A Farm plot players to only build/destroy blocks designated in the Towny Config.yml at global_town_settings.farm_plot_allow_blocks. By default this list includes "LONG_GRASS, DOUBLE_PLANT, YELLOW_FLOWER, RED_ROSE, PUMPKIN_STEM, MELON_STEM, BEETROOT_BLOCK, CARROT, POTATO, CROPS, MELON_BLOCK, PUMPKIN".

Who can build/destroy these blocks is still determined by the plot's perm line seen in the /plot perm screen. This means that if B=rao, anyone can plant/place the allowed blocks in the plot. If the B=r-- then only town residents can plant/place the allowed blocks.

If admins want, they can add SOIL to the allowed blocks list, which will allow anyone allowed via the perm line to also make soil with a hoe. By default SOIL is not included and only admins/mayors/assistants will be able to create soil with a hoe. Towny already protects soil from being stomped into grass, so soil will only return to dirt if it is not irrigated.

Farm plots also allow town residents to kill animals in the plot. The list of animals is set in the config at global_town_settings.farm_animals. By default this list includes "PIG,COW,CHICKEN,SHEEP,MOOSHROOM".

Outpost:

Currently not working.

Normally town blocks are claimed around the home block, always connected to the town. To claim a town block out in the wilderness, a mayor or assistant must claim an outpost.

In order for players to claim outposts, the config must be set to allow_outposts: true and players require towny.town.claim.outpost in their permission node group.

The outpost list can be viewed by using /town outpost list command.

Perm-Groups

Each permission-type has 3 perm-groups to which the pemissions can be set for, these are displayed on your /resident perm line as FAO and stand for Friend, Ally, Outsider.
For residents the Friend group consists of a player's friend list.
For towns the perm line reads RAO, with R representing Residents (players in that town) and mayors need to use /t set perm resident blah on/off instead of /t set perm friend blah on/off
The other groups are:

• Ally

  • Players from your town,

  • other towns in your nation,

  • and nations your nation is allied with.

• Outsiders

  • Players who are not part of your town or nation or nation's allies.

Taxes

Taxes are collected on the town level from residents and on the nation level from towns.
The config.yml has an entry to turn taxation on or off at daily_taxes: true
Any player can check the taxes which apply to them with the ingame command /res tax
Town mayors can use two commands to set their taxrates.

• /town set taxes {$}

  • This can be either a flat rate (ex: 10) or a percentage.

    • Toggling taxes from flatrate to percentage is done using /town toggle taxpercent

    • Flatrate:

      • This charges each resident of a town the same amount. Setting it to 10 would charge each resident each 'Towny Day'.

      • If a resident can't pay his town tax when using flatrate taxation then he is kicked from the town.

        • Percentage:

          • This charges a player a percentage of their money. If a player has no money left, he pays no taxes and is not kicked from the town.

• /town set plottax {$}

  • This charges each resident of a town for each plot they own. Setting it to 10 would charge Miner Steve 40 dollars if he owned 4 plots.

  • If a resident can't pay his plot tax he loses his plot.

Nation leaders can use one command to set a tax on their towns.

• /nation set taxes {$}

  • This charges each town that is a member of the nation. Setting it to 100 would charge each town's townbank 100 each 'Towny Day'.

  • If a town can't pay it's tax then it is kicked from the nation.
