CityState - A Heavily Modified Towny Fork

The goal of this project is to add and remove functionality to the Towny Spigot plugin, a Minecraft Java Edition server mod, to improve its performance, simplicity, and features, potentially for MMO city-building gameplay.

Project Status

To be removed:

• Nations and War: to adapt the plugin for cooperative, mostly non-pvp gameplay, there should be only one player government (with administrative subdivisions) per server; realtime combat gameplay is unpleasant with very large amounts of online players.
  • Creating/Deleting/Merging Nations: there should be only one - automatically created - nation per server world.
  • Neutral/Peaceful status
  • Embassy and Arena block types
  • PVP block status
  • Allies/Enemies
  • Conquering
  • Ruined town status
  • War plugins
• Banking: item-based currencies and trading would be more seamless and engaging, logically complement Plot Deeds (described below), and open the possibility for player-made finance industries. Economy plugins can be completely disabled in config.yml.
• Teleportation: this spoils the simulation of transportation and storage systems.
• Telemetry and update checking

To be added:

• Voting: simple approval voting using commands.
• Item-based Trading
• Custom currency items
• Plot Deeds: custom items that transfer ownership of land.
• Dueling: resident-based (not plot-based) PVP permissions.

Building

If you would like to build from a specific branch yourself, you can do so with Apache Maven. Open your terminal / command prompt and navigate to the Towny Directory (either extracted, or cloned). Run mvn clean package to generate the plugin in the target directory within the Towny folder.
