The basic idea

In Towny you do not build alone in the wilderness: you build inside your town, which protects your blocks from other players. The mayor claims land, sets taxes and invites residents. Towns can join a nation led by a king. Money on LivaMC Towny is TL, a virtual in-game currency. It is separate from the money on other LivaMC modes and cannot be exchanged for real money.

LivaMC Towny is in its final preparation and opening soon; the opening date will be announced on Discord.
