Towny Plot Commands
Use Towny plot commands on MineKai when you need to control a specific piece of town land. This guide covers buying and selling plots, plot types, trust, permissions and property-level settings so residents can manage land without changing the configuration of the entire town.
How Plot Commands Fit Into Towny
A Towny town is divided into claimed chunks, while plot commands give residents and mayors finer control over individual pieces of that land. That distinction matters: a town claim expands the settlement, but a plot command changes ownership, access or behavior inside land the town already controls.
Use this guide when your goal is property management. For expanding the town itself, inviting residents or changing town-wide taxes and permissions, use the Town Commands guide instead.
