How do I join a town?edit | edit source
(do /invite to see commands)

Method 1: Find an open town and do /t join.

Method 2: Ask anyone to invite you to a town


 * Receive an invitation to a town
 * /accept or
 * /t invite accept

Method 3: Ask a town resident


 * 1) Find a town you want to join.
 * 2) Do "/t online " to see which player from that town is on.
 * 3) Ask the player in chat if they can invite you to their town.

Method 4: Browse the list of open towns in the EarthMC discord.


 * EarthMC Builders Club Discord, under the #town-ads channel.

I just joined a town. How do I go to it?

 * /t spawn
 * Make sure not to teleport after entering this command, or else it will cancel the teleport.

Why are there no open towns?
Because it is like that lol.

I can't see myself on the Map.
This happens when you go underground, so you are probably either under a building, a tree, or mining.

How close does a town have to be from a nation to join it?
The limit is 3000 blocks.

A town cannot be more than 3000 blocks from its nation.

How to Join a Nation
Once your town gets an invite from a nation, do this:


 * /t accept invite

You can check your town stats while in town:


 * /t here        it should show your nation in the town info


 * /n               should also show your nation info

How to Create a Town
Having gold in your inventory is very dangerous, because gold is so valuable. On 27 Sep 2019, someone was killed while typing in the town creation command. Take precautions below, to minimize the chances of being robbed.


 * 1) You should start a town greater than 10 chunks away from a neighboring town.
 * 2) Precaution: Do not announce that you are going to make a town.
 * 3) Precaution: Create a small dirt umbrella at the spot which will become your town block, when you don't have the gold on you, if you know the location, you can also claim while underground.
 * 4) Bring the 64 gold at a time when the server is not too busy.
 * 5) Precaution: Look on the map to make sure nobody is nearby. Go quickly to your location.
 * 6) Precaution: When you get there, go under the small dirt umbrella and stand under it so that you are invisible on the map.
 * 7) Precaution: Look around and make sure nobody is coming.
 * 8) You need to have 64 gold in your inventory.
 * 9) Stand in the 4 blocks that will become your town block.
 * 10) /t create

Once created, a message in chat shows that someone made a town, accompanied by GG from players because that's just always what they've said.


 * /t set homeblock    Sets the homeblock (you can withdraw/deposit gold standing there)
 * /t set spawn          Sets the spawn
 * /t claim                 Claim wilderness for town, must have 16g, claims a single chunk according to a grid (16x16 area.)

How to Give Yourself a Plot in Your Town
Give yourself a plot


 * /plot fs 0 set the plot with sale price = 0
 * /plot claim

How to Protect Your Town
You want to invite some players, but don't want them to open town chests.


 * /t set perm off turn off all permissions in town
 * /plot set perm off turn off all permissions in the plot
 * /t invite invite to the town

How to Set Specific Permissions for residents in the town

 * /resident toggle switch off don't allow residents to open chests, use switches
 * /resident toggle switch on allow residents to open chests, use switches
 * /resident toggle build off don't allow residents to build
 * /resident toggle destroy off don't allow residents to destroy

How to Control PVP, Explosion, Fire in a plot

 * /plot toggle pvp on turns on pvp in a plot (NOTE: there is a wait period before you can turn it off again)


 * /plot toggle pvp off turns off pvp in a plot
 * /plot toggle explosion off
 * /plot toggle fire on this allows you to light a Nether portal, remember to turn fire off afterwards

How to Set Specific Permissions in each Plot
I am not sure, but I think the town perms override the plot perms. So even if you allow switch on in the plot, if the town has switch off, then the resident would not be able to open any doors or chests.

Note: After some testing, I find that the plot perms can override town perms, but only after a long time (like a few hours).

There are 4 groups and 4 permissions. The 4 groups are friends, residents, allies, and outsiders. The 4 permissions are build, destroy, switch, and itemuse.

(Please look at Towny commands for more info.) The command is /plot set perm  

For example:


 * /plot set perm resident itemuse on allow residents to use items like enchanting table, etc.
 * /plot set perm ally switch off prevents allies from using switches, and opening doors/chests

How to Check Plot Perms
Residents of a town can check plot perms by walking around the town with /plot perm hud on. Plot perm hud displays all the plot permission information in a window on the right side of your screen. You can toggle this display on and off by typing the command again.

How to Get Help (including getting help from an IC Mod)
Sometimes you may have more questions or need a helping hand.


 * 1) Go to the official Istanbul Craft discord
 * 2) To get answers to questions ask your questions by dm to mods
 * 3) If the problem is not easily resolved, get help from a mod by opening a ticket:
 * 4) go to the #support-tickets channel
 * 5) Type     -new to create a new ticket

Note: Support discord didnt opend yet so u need to dm to mods

Protecting Your Map Art
Several museums have had their valuable map art stolen from item frames (as of June 26, 2020), even when the plot is claimed. The art thieves used a boat glitch to pop the items out of the frame.

Prevent this kind of theft by putting a glass pane in front of your item frame, make a backup copy, or be careful where you display your valuable map art.

CAUTION

Sometimes, maps can disappear with a server glitch. No info if there is a way to prevent this, and it is often hard to get a refund.

Please take extra precautions:


 * 1) Make extra copies and store them someplace else.
 * 2) Put glass on the map art in a Cartography Table
 * 3) Take a picture of your maps if you have invested a lot of time on them.

Map Art Rules

Please obey Rule 2 and Rule 3.6 when making the map art

(Your map art may not contain nudity, sexual content, racist imagery or anything else that breaks any part of rule 2.)

The plugin is buggy, that's why no more languages are added.

However, since there is no English only channel, please use the available language channels if possible.
