Hey everybody,
Enjoying your wild plots, but want to be part of a town? Well, our not public, and private town is now open for perhaps a short period of time to the outside world. New players, registered players, veterans, vip, and vip+, heck, even chatmods and moderators are more than welcome to join the town and find a plot.
But we're not like any other town. So I'd like to point a few things out.
We might be open, but not everything in town is 'unlocked'. The Spawn area for example is kept exclusive, but we're slowly changing this. The outposts are kinda private, except for the main one where we have the resident plots. So please go there to find an available plot.
Plots cost 5000, this means if you go to the town and don't have enough money that you might need to type: /vote, and get an extra 2500 that way. Just a pro tip.
We do only give single plots and on a very select basis we offer a double plot to a select few players. So be an active, friendly player, that can show a few of their builds to impress us, and we might give you additional plots.
About being part of town: If you get a temporary ban, we do /plot unclaim and/or kick you out of town. So please respect the town rules, but especially the server rules. We usually do not kick anybody out of town for being inactive. We don't want you to go on vacation and come back to a griefed plot or whatever (again, we are not like other towns). We tend to only unclaim your plot if we check your player profile and you've not connected to the server for nearly two years straight.
About what to build.
We are a cozy old fashioned town, we like wood cabins, nature-y like builds, and nothing that screams super modern builds made out of obsidian or straight up quartz mansions. So please check around the main outposts and you should get a pretty good idea as to what we like.
We have no problem with you making a tree farm or some sort of harvesting farm, but it should be part of your house build. We're not selling "farm plots", we're offering you a place to live. The same goes for mining. The server has a public big mining world that you can use to get all the resources you want. Mining down for diamonds in your plot isn't welcomed and so we dont allow querie.. quary? however you write that.. you know what i mean.. But yes, you can build up and build down. No big deal :)
We're super excited to break the rule of "we are a private town" since August 2012, and after 5+ years we've decided to just go public, open the town up and let people freely explore, look around, join it, go to our outpost and find a plot to live on. Bring a friend! Heck, bring ten..
Plots are 5000, if it's for sale it will say so. Have fun building, and we're looking forward hearing from you.
PLEASE NOTE: if you are supposed to get 1 plot, or you permission to get 2 plots, please do not go around buying other plots, because we will just plot unclaim the extra ones. You can always ask us first, but don't just go around claiming more than the plots you're allowed to get. Just so we're clear on that :)
Oh, we have a mailbox, if you're an active player and we notice your name multiple times per day, each month .. chances are little freebies might show up in your mailbox. Keep an eye on that.
Floris, are you guys looking for town assistants or anything like that? Hmmmmm..... going public is already a big deal for us, we have a tight crew and aren't really looking to expand that at this point.
MORE QUESTIONS? Great! This is a forum, if you can't catch me in game: ask it here :)
Your town sucks! Well, maybe don't join it and find another one :) OR .. OR!! Join it and claim a plot and show up how to make awesome builds and maybe that inspires others to do better as well? I mean, teamwork,.. right?
k, cu guys ingame :)
Floris, mayor and owner of town x,
and his little squad of fumblehead, mistic_ice, nixxy73, paprikaatje, and the rest.

Whoop whoop!! I’d love to know and see if there are or will be embassy plots available!! You can find my work at not only the upstairs of my visit, and the ravines of /t s Lunarfalls but some things at /visit thelynx74 as well as the fishing area in town x. ;) (So sassy!) I’d love to have a home in x!!

We have a few limited locations for embassy plots, but we're planning (now that the town is open) to have a few multi plot exclusive locations at spawn and the main outpost for experienced builders and other town members to still put their mark on town x through an embassy plot. Keep your eyes open in game to be able to call dibs, but we're most likely to announce them afterwards in this thread as well.
-
Looking forward to this!! I’d love to grab something near spawn in!! It’d be an honor to have one of those!!

Update one:
A resident is a player that has joined the town. To join town x, please type: /town join x
A resident can have their plot at the main outpost, to get there: /town outpost plots
(or /t o plots for short).
The update is that this used to be our outpost called: main, it's now called plots.
Update two:
In the spirit of opening up our town to the public, the residents can now kill friendly mobs at certain places.
A resident can go to /t o plots, and go down the gravel path to the right, to find the mob spawners.
Once there, you will find a whole row of mob types, each with two spawners and in their own little biome.
You're free to take the mobs, or to kill them for some quick food.
Here's a little introduction video:
Mobs range from ocelot, wolf and chickens to rabbits and mooschrooms. The spawner plots are build with the help of Mistic_Ice (tnx!)
-
This is fantastic information for new players, as well as for players who want to go exploring!
-
New to the server, or ready to switch abandoned town?
We just added 5 more plots to choose from if you decide to join our town.
We're town x, cozy, friendly, and organic / natural builds.
To join: /town join x
To find plots: /town outpost plots
You get a plot, so feel free to browse around. Found one that says 'for sale' ? Stand inside it and type: /plot claim
Not enough money? No worries.. just type /vote for an extra 2500 nbz.
Oh, if you're leaving town, contact me. I can set you up as a temporary embassy plot so you can place your chests and move your items over.
Looking forward to you joining town x, mia, mrotto, katholy, dazzle, and a couple of others just have as well. Welcome everybody
-
Update:
At /t o plots, the left paths have been completed for 80% (was 30%) and extended to the next row. Which, by the way, now have a couple of double plots that will be available in the near future.
Once our town hits a certain amount of new residents this year we will unlock those. So get your friends online and have them join the town :)
And yes, existing town members will get dibs on those double plots. But details about that will follow at a later stage.
More info: The town now has three new hobbit holes, from a revamped one, to a completely new one. If you're interested in having a looksy, feel free to poke me in-game. Thanks everybody who have helped build those (diamond, killjoy, cruisiniky)
Additionally, at /t spawn x, there have been a few additional plots made available that we're preparing for embassy plots and current town members (who can build well). Once they go on sale I will update this thread as well.
Finally, we're very excited about the builds that we're seeing, very nice job Katholy, Mia, and mrotto. Keep up that creativity.
Bonus: The town x hiring squad is still going strong, check those threads in the market-forum and hope to see you all soon online to help build the wheat-field.

Hey everybody,
I just wanted to let everybody know that starting May we will have two small events in Town X
[ one ]
The skeleton spawner design | this is a unique double plot that I will make available
[ two ]
Treasure hunt contest | multiple unique items will be hidden around the whole town // collect three and show me & win
--- details will follow (obviously) and yes, this is for town x residents only ---
Hopefully I see loads of new and old x-ers active in May for some fun Minecrafting.
-
Update :)
It's time for another update, and while it's not really a bit one, it's significant for us because we're not used to being a public town.
We've added a public farm. There, I've said it. And we will start with some dark oak trees and a location.
Residents of Town x can type: /town outpost farms (or /t o farms) to get to the big tree farm.
And yes, it's quite big. There are over 300 dark oak trees right now that you can take down. Just be sure to replant!
While the place is still under development, you can already go there and start grinding those /woodcutting mcMMO levels, and make some money by selling the wood, or use the recipe book and a crafting table to get some building resources.
Over the next month or so we will finish terraforming the area and putting down plots for shops from where you can buy wood related resources, as well as well to it. We will obviously start with the dark oak saplings and dark oak logs.
Here's a little video showing the area and talking you through it.

Update;
People who cannot use : /t o plots, because they're not part of town x, your options are:
If you are part of a town, talk to me to move your stuff over, then leave the town you're in and join ours?
If you are not part of a town, type: /town join x, after which you can type /t o plots
If you don't wish to join our town, you can type: /visit townx or /t o x plots
If you just want to use the public farms, /visit mistic_ice, and townx residents can type: /t o farms
-
Update:
We've started construction on the Shopping area.
The command:
/town outpost shops
or /t o shops
is already available, and I believe if you're not part of town (you should join!) you could type: /t o x shops
There's not much there yet, but we have some fun ideas and I will find some time this week to get started organising some plots.
We will have plots for our town residents, allied town residents, we will have shops by town staff as well as offer some embassy plots for everybody else. We're looking forward offering a central spot for items we're all using on a daily basis when we can't find it in the global market.
Come have a look around: /visit townx
Oh, did I mention that to celebrate the 2018 Spring update to town x that we will (randomly) select a lucky town resident who we believe has been building pretty awesomely to receive a Noobstown rank upgrade?
-
Shopping area? Well when its done I'd love a shop :D

There might be more than one :)

Update:
Today a single embassy shop plot will become available for 15,000 nbz.
Please visit town x's public shopping area (wip) at: /t o x shops to find it.
This is on a first come, first go basis. Please note that putting signs down to advertise your own town is not wanted. And please note that your builds have to be nature/organic and nothing modern. Maybe /visit townx and browse around town to get an impression of what we're looking for.

I've been getting a few questions about all the outposts and visits, so here's a little overview:
/visit townx
Instead of /town spawn, /town outpost, etc.. you can use shorthand: /t s, /t o..
Note please that all outposts are public, by adding an x in front of the name, example:
/t o farms (for residents)
/t o x farms (for everybody)
Okay, here we go:
To visit town x spawn: (exclusive plots)
/t s
/t s x
To visit town x's plots outpost: (resident plots) (plots are for sale only to town residents, you're free to join our town!)
/t o plots
/t o x plots
/visit townx
To visit town x's public farms outpost: (open to everybody)
/t o farms
/t o x farms
/visit mistic_ice
To visit town x's public shops outpost: (open to everybody)
/t o shops
/t o x shops
To visit the Saddle Alliance area: (yeah, this one is hard to explain..)
/t o saddle
/t o x saddle
There are a few more outposts, but they're more for staff members, .. you're still free to explore.
/t o private, and /t o waterfalls
During events where we hunt for heads: (also used for pvp events)
/visit thelynx74
To visit the town x's public guardian grinder (to get exp levels quick / train mcmmo)
/visit nixxy73
To see below town x's spawn: (and get to the auto sorter)
/visit mrfloris
To visit town x's acrobatics training course: (mcmmo /acrobatics)
/visit ilujf
To visit mrfloris' wild area: (have fun exploring)
/visit paprikaatje
Anyway, a few to remember: /t s x, to get to spawn and /visit townx, to get to the plots.
-
New shop! at /t o x shops (not shopa) it's called "Sign and dirt shopa"
Note: I sell more then Signs and Dirt

[ two ]
Treasure hunt contest | multiple unique items will be hidden around the whole town // collect three and show me & win
--- details will follow (obviously) and yes, this is for town x residents only ---
Hopefully I see loads of new and old x-ers active in May for some fun Minecrafting.
It's May, and that means it's time for the first event. If you have a pretty good idea for a spawner and would love to get 2 plots in our town, this is where you should start to pay attention.
If you for example can show me a picture of something you've once made, of a pretty cool design that you want to build on the plot in our town. Then: you could be lucky.
Until May 21st we will take suggestions and yes, you're allowed to change it. But on the 21st I will go through those who submitted their suggestion and pick someone. That player will win some (to quote floris) PAHT L00T
This loot box will consist of a voucher worth 50,000 noobs, alongside the two plots at no cost. And one of the two plots is the spawner that you can then give that design you showed me. You will be the first resident in our town to have a regular resident plot with your own spawner. Other goodies in the loot box are a surprise right now, and for the winner to find out.
How to participate?
/town join x (if you haven't yet), because this is a little contest for our residents.
If you're already in town x, you're already participating! Well, you still have to show me a cool skeleton spawner design that fits in one plot (well, or two).
And that's it. Show me a cool design, before the 21st of May, and I will pick a winner and give you access to those plots. And yes, you get to keep all your wild chunks and if you already have plots, you get to keep those as well. These are 2 extra plots for existing residents!
Good luck everybody.
How to contact me? PM me on the site, or perhaps attach your image to this thread. Either way is fine.

Update:
We've been able to hire a few people from town and outside of town, to help me build some structures for various reasons.
We're making progress, and I am quite happy with it. The activity in town has been booming the last week and more people are joining and building great things.
Here are a few of the latest examples from the last few days.
(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063484d364c7939704c6d6c745a3356794c6d4e7662533877596b343362455a424c6e42755a775f5f)
Killjoydivine helped me make a secret cove, can you find it in town?
(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063484d364c7939704c6d6c745a3356794c6d4e766253383056586f775656644b4c6d70775a775f5f)
Suddenrose7346 copied a build over they made in their wild to help pretty up our shopping area.

ForMySins helped create a resident plot at our town spawn area that we can sell to other players sometime.
(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063484d364c7939704c6d6c745a3356794c6d4e766253394f4f544a3263474a524c6d70775a775f5f)
And mrotto119 has been busy building a shop at our new /t o x shops district.
Great job everybody, dont forget to finish the builds and unlock the right items if you build something on behalf of town x.
I wish I could post screenshots of everything!
-
I like them! Hopefully the server keeps growing the way it is right now!

quite lively at the moment keep it up guys/gals

Progress is still being made :)
Update for this week is that the second level of the public farms is ready basically. You can already use it.
/t o x farms
and there are holes in the floor to drop down to the next level.
You can find the other tree types there each in their own row.
We've also made progress with the shopping area, and it's almost ready to get the town-design applied to it.
We also rewarded long term players with additional plots, and even gave a newcomer the exception of more plots in exchange for pretty builds.
Additionally we've hired some residents to help out with some areas in town to keep the building going.
Soon, if you "know" what town x means, you might win a fun little prize.
Soon, if you submit your designs for a skeleton spawner (see ender_vine!) you could be eligible for a double plot as earlier explained.
Soon, if you "know" what a town x TOKEN means, and are still in our town, AND still have the token .. you might be eligible for something fun.
So there's more to come, including a fishing mcMMO grind /party event with everybody on the server at one of our prime locations on the server. We're designing and building today and tomorrow, and have a few fishing events this weekend.
-
A little update :)
The /vote feature is back, so guest players can get an additional 2500 to their startup 5000, making it easier to explore towns and buy affordable plots to get started. And so now that it's July, the 'free' plot we've been offering is limited to the first resident that joins that particular day. And back to the regular 2500 or 5000 noobs per plot.
Today we've welcomed our 85th resident! So cool :)
-
Another update? Yes! Because besides being slowed down by 7x mcMMO events, we've still been working on a bunch of little things. From expanding town plots and taking on more residents, to mining out the level for the next row of crops, fixing towny plot permissions, cleaning up builds, adding more builds, replacing builds, and working on terraforming .. ok, i could go on..
This update is to let you guys know the next thing is a little pvp arena spot for quick player fights. I made something last night in single player and got some help from emmabear on improving the design, and I think it's going to be fun. This morning I made a start at one of our outposts. Which will soon open properly, I guess.
Anyway, here's a little sneak preview.

That reminds me I need to do a PVP arena (The one from the event is not here to stay) and some mini games, AND I need to finish the elytra course XD
-
Big file, but another sneak peak .. phase2 of building is done. Next is detailing, terraforming, some beacons, spectator area, spawn point. etc. meh, so much work :D
(embedding kinda kills the post loading haha)

We're almost ready with the basics of the 3rd farm layer, which crops would you guys like to see in the public farm?
Wheat? Sugar cane? nether? Beatroots?
let us know!
-
Just a quick update that we've been working on some paths and consistency. With the 7xp event over we should have a bit more time to continue building and grinding down our todo list. More to come, but we will start with rewarding town x residents with money prizes, as well as a unique prize that's never been done on Noobstown before, .. anyway, I am saying too much already: Keep an eye out for upcoming updates, events, fun parties and sssh, .. secret special item trading on the hush hush ..
August, here we come! So far, having our town open and public has resulted in quite some new players hanging out and becoming friends: so cool
