Towny Advanced - Developed by LlmDl

---

I took over from ElgarL after MC 1.8 was released. Past developers have included: Shadeness, FuzzieWuzzie, ElgarL. With help coming from other developers from time to time including dumptruckman, ole8pie, SwearWord, gravypod, andrewyunt and more.

Towny is one of the oldest still-in-development plugins for Minecraft. It was created by Shadeness for the now-defunct server platform called hMod.

It is the second-oldest land protection plugin to become popular for Minecraft, having been beaten by WorldGuard by just a couple months, Towny is now over 10 years old! Go check out some of the features Towny has and see why it's still popular for yourself.

Staying up to date

Now that all Release builds and Development builds are being made available here on github's Releases tab I am recommending that server admins "watch" Towny on github. Just click the watch button in the upper right and select "Releases Only".

Alternatively, if you watch the resource on Spigot you will be notified on that website when a new build is out.

Connect/Support

The documentation found on the Towny Wiki is updated every time a Release version of Towny is put out. If you are using a development build it is expected that you have read the changelog for any important changes since the previous Release build.

Some important pages to look over:

• Installing Towny
• How Towny Works

Here on github's Issue Tracker you can file bug reports, feature requests, or just ask general questions.

If you still need help, join us on the Discord server, where you can find cutting edge updates and discussion on the development of the plugin.

If you want to support the developer consider becoming a Sponsor.

Building Towny

If you would like to build from a specific branch yourself, you can do so with either Apache Ant or Apache Maven, depending on the age of the branch.

For building, open your terminal / command prompt and navigate to the Towny Directory (either extracted, or cloned).

• Maven

  • Run mvn clean package to generate the plugin in the target directory, within the Towny folder.

• Ant (Deprecated)

  • For older branches using the Ant build system, the main command to use would be: ant clean jar. This command will exit the Towny directory, creating a lib folder alongside it. A Towny.jar file will be generated and placed within there.
  • Note: As Ant is being deprecated, older branches may eventually not be able to be built against without modification of the build.xml file. We leave no guarantee that the file repo providing the dependencies will stay up.
