What is a Towny server?
Towny is a long-standing Minecraft plugin that adds town claims, nations, taxes, and resident permissions on top of survival — a structured rival to free-for-all factions.
- Claim plot-by-plot. Towns are built from individual claimed chunks. Mayors manage permissions per plot so residents can build without griefing each other.
- Nations and alliances. Multiple towns combine into a nation with shared diplomacy, declared wars, allied chat, and bonus claim caps for capital cities.
- Built-in economy. Mayors collect taxes, run public shops, and pay nation upkeep. Most Towny servers layer a coin economy and a player market on top.
- Free on Java and Bedrock. Every Towny server here is free to play. Crossplay between PC and mobile via the Geyser bridge on most servers.
- Different from Factions. Towny is structured and diplomatic; Factions is raid-focused. Pick Towny if you want politics and protected builds, Factions if you want territorial warfare.
Frequently asked questions
How do I join a Towny server on Minehut?

What's the difference between Towny and Factions?
Towny is a structured town-and-nation plugin — chunk claims, taxes, mayors, diplomatic alliances, protected resident builds. Factions is a raid-and-PvP plugin where claims are vulnerable and territorial war is the point. Towny suits builders and roleplayers; Factions suits PvP-focused players.
Are these Towny servers free?
Yes. Every Towny server listed here is free to play on Minehut. You only need a legitimate Minecraft Java or Bedrock account.
How do I start my own town?
Once you're on a Towny server, you usually need a small starting balance and an open chunk. Run /town new <name> to create your town, then claim adjacent chunks with /town claim. Each server has its own commands and costs — check the in-game rules or /help when you join.
