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

/t spawn

I can't see myself on the Map.

You are probably under a tree or inside a building. Go out into the open to see yourself.

How to Join a Nation

Once your town gets an invite from a nation, do this:

  • /t accept invite <nation>

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 new <town name>

The town should be created. Sometimes you'll see "gg" in globalchat celebrating your achievement.

  • /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

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 plot
  • /t invite <player> invite <player> to the town

How to Set Specific Permissions for residents

  • /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

Why doesn't Fix solve problems encountered every day? and other similiar questions

Ask specific questions in the EarthMC Support Discord. Or look for a mod.

What is the Difference between a Citizen and a Resident?

Citizens are the inhabitants of a nation while residents are the inhabitants of a town. - GeneralNoOne

What is the Difference between a Battle and a War?

A battle is a combat between two or more armed forces. ... Battles are between soldiers, while war is between countries or nations. Battles can be won and lost, but it may not determine the end of the War. Battles are usually short term, while wars are lengthy. (Source: Farhan Syeed on Quora)

What is the Difference between the "Politics" and "Political Party" Categories?

Politics is a category page to hold definitions and ideas (for example, Democracy, Fascism, etc.)

A Political Party is a actual political group that belongs to a location or nation.

Several Political Parties from different nations or locations can share the same ideology. But the reverse is difficult to imagine (i.e.one political party with several ideologies).

Who is Staff in EarthMC?

See List of all Staff

Why are the Madagascar shops closed?

The glitch with the shop signs has been fixed. Currently, the Madagascar spawn is sometimes open and sometimes not. If you cannot /n spawn Madagascar, just be patient and try again later.

What can I do if EarthMC ingame chat is too annoying?

The best way is to use the Towny Commands below.

Muting a Specific Player with Towny command

  • /chmute <channel> <player>
  • /chunmute <channel> <player>

Muting a Specific Player with /ignore

  • Caution: Not sure if /ignore can be undone easily.
  • /ignore <player>.   This is undone on server restart.
  • To see who's being ignored: /ignorelist

Muting Everyone (several methods)

  1. Method 1 (best): /chmute, /chunmute
See Towny Commands for Chat below
  • /chmute <channel> <player>
  • /chunmute <channel> <player>
  1. Method 2: Using Minecraft Settings (probably safer)
Go to Minecraft Settings - Multiplayer
Click on "Chat Shown"
Set it to "Commands Only" since you can still type commands
  1. Method 3: Using /mute
You can /mute all.
Caution: Use at your own risk.  Not sure if the reverse is /unmute all.)
