Servers by votes this month
Towny lets players found towns on claimed land, run them as mayor and join together in nations. Towns have a bank, taxes, plots and rules, and your builds are protected from outsiders. The mode adds economy and politics to survival. It suits players who like community building, roleplay and trade more than constant combat. This list is ranked by player votes this month, and one click copies the IP.
How to choose a good Towny server
- Town costs and limits. Check what a town costs, how many chunks you can claim and whether there is an upkeep. Cheap towns invite activity.
- War rules. Find out whether war is optional, whether peaceful towns exist and how raids work. Clear rules prevent nasty surprises.
- Economy. Shops, jobs and a stable currency keep a Towny server alive. Look at the player count and recent reviews.
- Pay-to-win. Paid claims or upkeep waivers give some towns an unfair edge. Cosmetics and ranks are fine.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Towny server?
Start at the top of this list, ranked by player votes this month. For Towny, look for a server with several active towns and a working economy, because trade and politics need people. Join two or three and see where the mayors and nations are welcoming.
Are Towny servers free?
Joining is free on nearly all of them. Founding a town costs in-game money, not real money. Be careful with stores that sell claims or protection from war.
How do I start a town in Towny?
Stand on unclaimed land that is far enough from other towns and use the town creation command, usually /town new followed by a name, once you have the money the server asks for. The exact price and distance rules differ by server, so read the description.
