Founding a town is free. You become its Mayor, the one role that can never be removed from a town except by transferring or disbanding it.
Create a town#
Run /town create <name>. You can also run /town with no town: a prompt titled "Create a new town" asks for a "Town name". On success you see "Your town has been created."
Name rules#
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Length | 3 to 12 characters |
| Characters | Letters A to Z and numbers 0 to 9 only. No spaces or symbols |
| Capitals | Names are stored in capitals. Typing Nether creates NETHER |
| Unique | A name that is taken cannot be used again while that town exists |
| Language | Names that the chat filter rejects as profanity are refused |
If the name is invalid you see "The town name is invalid. It must be all CAPS. It must be between 3 and 12 characters, and can only contain letters and numbers." A taken name gives "The town name is already taken."
When a town is founded, everyone on Survival sees a NEW TOWN! announcement with the founder and the town name.
Cooldown and limits#
- You can only be in one town. Founding while in a town is refused: "The player is already a member of another guild."
- After you leave, are kicked or your town disbands, you must wait 1 minute before you can found another town.
- Trying too early gives "Wait a few seconds before doing that again."
Rename#
/town rename <name> renames the town. The same name rules apply. By default only the Mayor may rename. See Town Permissions for letting other roles do it.
Transfer ownership#
/town transfer <player> hands the Mayor role to another town member. A confirmation menu titled "Transfer Town" asks you to confirm. Only the Mayor can transfer, and you become a Citizen afterwards.
Disband#
/town disband permanently deletes the town. A confirmation menu titled "Disband Town" warns "This action cannot be undone!" Only the Mayor can disband.
Take your items out of the town vault before you disband. See Town Vault.
