Town Commands
Town commands are the main management tools for settlements on MineKai. Mayors and residents use them to create and join towns, claim territory, manage members, handle the town bank, configure taxes and permissions, and control the systems that belong to the town as a whole.
What Town Commands Control
Town commands operate at settlement level. They are different from plot commands, which deal with individual properties, and resident commands, which deal with a player's personal settings. If the action affects the town's territory, residents, treasury, taxes or configuration, it usually belongs here.
New mayors should learn town creation, claims, member management and the bank first. After that, the permission and toggle sections become useful for defining how the settlement works for residents, allies and outsiders.
