Quarters are 3D subdivisions of towns that possess their own permissions. They allow towns to create areas that do not require whole plots, such as apartments, or which need to encompass multiple plots.
¶ Creation
Quarters can be created by residents ranked mayor, comayor or planner.
Quarters consist of cuboid regions. To create a quarter, you need to create and add cuboids to it. There are two ways of doing this:
- Type
/quarters pos oneat the cuboid's first corner and/quarters pos twoat the second corner.- You can also use relative coordinates - for example,
/quarters pos one 0 5 0selects the position 5 blocks above you
- You can also use relative coordinates - for example,
- Hold a blaze rod. Left-click on a block to select it as the cuboid's first corner. Right-click on a block to select it as the second corner.
Once you have selected a cuboid, type /quarters selection add. This will add it to the quarter selection. All cuboids in the quarter selection will be highlighted by particles.
If you find that you made a mistake, remove the cuboid by standing inside it and using /quarters selection remove. Repeat the process to add more cuboids to the selection.
You can also copy and paste your selection using and /quarters selection paste.
(!) Quarters cannot overlap, be in multiple towns or contain Wilderness.
Once you have finished adding cuboids to the selection, type /quarters create to create the quarter.
You can then change its particle outline colour using /quarters color <r> <g> <b> (Supporter rank only), or disable it using /quarters toggle constantoutlines.
¶ Management
- Editing: Type
/quarters editto add or remove cuboids from the quarter. - Name: Change the quarter name using

/quarters toggle embassy.
- If you want non-residents to be allowed to purchase the quarter, set it as an embassy.
- Trust: Manage who is trusted in a quarter using
/quarters trust. Trusted players have full permissions to a quarter. - Leaving Ownership: The owner of a quarter can relinquish their ownership using
/quarters unclaim. - Eviction: The owner of the quarter you are standing in can be removed using
/quarters evict. - Deletion: Type
/quarters deleteto delete the quarter you are standing in.
¶ Permissions
Quarters have their own permissions that can be set using the command /quarters set perm. These permissions override plot permissions.
The permission types available for quarters—switch, itemuse, build, and destroy—function in the same way as their counterparts for plots. Similarly, the permission groups (resident, nation, ally and outsider) are also identical.
¶ Examples
- Allow allies to build inside a quarter:
/quarters set perm build ally true - Allow nation members to open chests inside a quarter:
/quarters set perm switch nation true
¶ Types
There are different quarter types which can be assigned to quarters using /quarters set type <type>. Quarter type abilities only apply to non-residents if the quarter has been set as an embassy (/quarters toggle embassy).
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Apartment |
Default quarter type. The quarter's owner, anyone they have trusted, and anyone with permissions to the quarter's underlying Towny plots have permission to alter it. |
