Where should I go to get help?
If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the #❓-questions channel of our Discord. Here one of the Analysts or the Lead Scientist will respond as soon as they have the chance!

Who is staff?
Our Lead Scientist and Owner of the server is MrShelbyBlue. He is aided by a group of Analysts for keeping track of player needs and moderation, and a group of Archivists who handle part of the wiki and making schematics of builds. Check out the Staff page for an updated list of server staff. Feel free to ask them any questions you have, they would be happy to help!

Where can I support the server?
You can support us at any of our server advertisements by voting for the server. Check out the #🔗-links page on our Discord for the most up to date voting links.

Why can't anyone hear me?
Other players will only be able to hear you if you are near them in the game. If you are not near them, a message will pop up about different ways to communicate. Moderators and the owner of the server will always be able to hear you no matter where you are, and should be able to help if needed. You can find more information about the in game chat system in TownyChat. Alternatively, if you need to talk to someone right away and no one is on, try the Discord as staff can access these chats more easily than in game.

How to navigate
Players often refer to areas by their direction relative to the map's center. These include North, South, East, and West. To find these directions in game, use the sun just like in real life! The sun will rise in the East, and it sets in the West. If you're facing East, then North is to your left, and South is to your right. If you're facing West, then North is to your right, and south is to your left.

Why didn't I respawn at my bed?
No spawn points are saved on this server for players. If you die, the server will kick you temporarily, and will randomly teleport you as soon as you rejoin.

Why do I have gold?
Every player is given the equivalence of 81 gold nuggets to start off, this can be used to start a new town, buy land in existing towns, buy items from other players, etc. Check out the TheNewEconomy plugin information for a breakdown of the server currency.

How to make money
Money (gold) can be made by selling to another player's ChestShop, starting your own ChestShop in a town, by obtaining gold and iron by mining, in exchanges with other players, etc.

What is money used for?
Gold can be used to buy things from other players through a ChestShop, or by trading. It is also useful for maintaining and paying for town upkeep and taxes, buying plots, and much more. Check out TheNewEconomy for more information on money itself, Towny for how money is used in towns and nations, and ChestShop for how shops work.

How do I join a town?
You can either join an open town or join a town you have been invited to at any time using /town join . Open towns are labeled as (Open) in the /town list command, or next to the town name in /town . In order to be invited to a town, you must talk to the mayor or deputy-mayor of that town. You can find more information on the Towny page.

How do I start a town?
If you have Au100.0 (100 gold nuggets), you can start a town. While standing in the chunk that you would like to start your town at, use /town new  and it will claim that chunk for you. For more information about town management, check out Towny.
