Introduction
Monarch is build around the plugin Towny. With Towny you are able to claim chunks of land anywhere in the overworld (except for spawn). These claimed chunks are your town, allowing you to build, protect chests and more. All unclaimed chunks are considered Wilderness. In Wilderness PvP is enabled, griefing is allowed and changes to the terrain (incl. building and mining) will slowly convert back to it's original terrain.
Owning a town costs daily upkeep, this upkeep is deducted daily (24 hours irl) from the town bank account. Once the towns account reaches $0, the town falls into ruins, returning all claimed chunks to Wilderness.
You don't need to own a town to protect you items and builds, you can also join an existing town, allowing the town to claim more chunks of land, on which you can build.
Starting a new town
If you want to start your own town, the first thing you need to do is to find a good location. Think of the biome you like, resources, preferred terrain, nearby friends/enemies, etc.
Once you have found your ideal location, you can start your town with the following command:
/town new [townname]
The town name must be a continuous string of characters (" my town" would become "my"), also /town can be shorted to /t
Use the command:
/t
to view additional info about your town, like balance, settings, population and size
You can expand your town by claiming more chunks, these chunks must be connected to your town to claim them. Start in your town and walk in the direction you want to claim a chunk until you see the Wilderness notification. Now use the following command:
/t claim
Note that claiming additional chunks will cost some money.
You can claim multiple chunks in one go by using the commands:
/t claim [radius]
The radius is the distance around your current position, all chunks within that radius will be claimed, providing your town has enough money and claimable chunks.
/t claim auto
Will claim as many chunks as possible with the towns current resources.
Increasing town population
A town isn't really a town if there's only one resident. Inviting more players to join your town will increase the amount of chunks you can claim. To add a player to your town you can use the command:
/t add [playername]
This will add the player to your town, note that players can only live in one town at a time.
Tip: after writing "/t add ", use the arrow up or down key to select an online player.
You can add multiple players in one go by using:
/t add [playername] [playername]
When your town size increases enough, your daily upkeep will increase as well.
Getting more info
Managing your town starts with knowledge, here are some useful commands:
/t ?
Shows you all available commands for "/t" (you can show more commands if you use a subcommand such as "/t claim ?")
/tlist
Will show a list of all towns on the server.
/t [town name]
Will show you the town info screen from other towns.
/t here
Will show you the town info screen from the town you are currently standing in.
/t online
Will show you the players in your town that are currently online.
/t ranklist
Will show you all current residents with their ranks.
/t reslist
Will show you a list of all residents in your town.
