🛠️ Towny Update: Casino, Dungeons, and Lazy Minions 🛌

🎰 Slot Machines Are Back!
Try your luck—the casino is fully operational again with all features unlocked.
⚔️ New Dungeons Open
Hard and Medium Dungeons are now live. Brutal bosses and twisted halls await. More updates and surprises will be added soon. Bring backup.
😴 Sleep Made Simple
Only 20% of players online need to sleep for morning to come. You can stop yelling at the sky now.
🤖 Minion Meltdown
Our last batch unionized (traitors), but we “hired” new ones who don’t ask questions. Minions return to the shop later this week—ready to mine, chop, and obey.

🚨 Towny Server Major Overhaul Update!

We've done a major overhaul focused on giving players a better, smoother, and more exciting start. Here's everything that's been added or improved:
🌍 New Spawn Area
A completely redesigned spawn has been built from the ground up!
Interactive NPCs have been added to help guide new players.
Regenerative Mine & Farm access for players with under 5 hours of playtime — coming very soon!
All players now receive an Adventure Kit on their first login to help get geared up fast.
🏡 New Claim System
Don’t want to join a town? No problem. A solo claim system is now available!
Type /c or /claim to protect your own space outside of towns.
You can also buy upgrades for your claims, like more claim blocks and enhanced protection — no donor rank needed.
🎮 Hard Mode Enabled
The server now runs on Hard difficulty. Expect a real survival challenge.
🎰 Casino at Spawn
Enjoy slots, roulette, blackjack, and more in the brand-new casino area.
💬 Chat Icons
New chat icons now reflect player permissions and roles more clearly.
🧭 /RTP Overhaul
Free random teleporting is available in the Overworld.
Paid RTP to the Nether and End is also now an option.
⚔️ PvP Arena
The spawn now includes a fully functional PvP Arena. Bring your best gear.
🧲 Auto Pickup
Nearby dropped items now automatically get picked up — no more mashing keys.
🎨 Custom Resource Pack
A custom resource pack will automatically download on connection.
Java version is fully functional.
Bedrock is temporarily using a placeholder pack while we build a full version. Xbox should still work in most cases.
💼 Jobs Rebalanced
Jobs have been reworked to make earning money easier and more rewarding.
🏛️ Auction House in Spawn
The new Auction House has been placed directly in spawn for easy access.
🧑 Player Profiles
Every player now has a custom profile screen. It’s functional and cute.
🛡️ Auto Totems
Totems activate as long as they’re in your inventory — no need to equip.
🗝️ Dungeons Added
Three dungeon tiers: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Big rewards, bigger risks.
🛍️ Claim-Based Upgrades
You can now purchase claim upgrades like more blocks and protections without needing a donor rank.
👮 UltraPunishments Integration
Coming next week: Player punishment logs will appear on our website. Play fair or get seen.
💀 Mob Health Display
Mob health is now visible above their heads during combat.
🐴 Horse Passengers
Saddle up! Friends can now ride with you on your horse.
🎒 Backpacks
Carry more and look good doing it with your own backpack.
👼 Angel Crates
Upon death, your items are stored in an Angel Crate — no more basic graves.
This update is live now. No client updates or mods are required. Just connect and dive in.
Play. Fight. Farm. Win. Welcome to the new Towny.
