Resident Commands
Resident commands control the player side of Towny on MineKai. Use this reference for your resident profile, friends list, personal plots, player-specific toggles, spawn behavior and other settings that follow you as a resident rather than belonging to a town or nation.
When to Use Resident Commands
Resident commands are personal. They affect your own Towny preferences, relationships and resident information instead of managing a settlement as a mayor. This makes them useful even when you are not responsible for running a town.
If an action changes a specific property, use Plot Commands. If it changes the whole settlement, use Town Commands. Resident Commands are the right place for player-level options such as friends, personal toggles, plot lists and resident status.
