The highly successful v4 town The Black Forest is making a comeback in v5. And the changes made in 1.9 and the subsequent 1.0 are a game-changer for the way we made towns in the past, and redefines the parameters of what is possible. In order to avoid a text-wall I'll break down the design, concept and revamps for you

Town Layout & Design
In v4 our #1 problem was space proportioning, Eventually things get out of hand and a town gets crowded, so in order to avoid this we are building districts.
The districts are as follows.
(Feel Free to read individual sections based on your interests, and skip others if your in a hurry)
* The Masonry and Mining District
This district is the center for architecture and mining, Those who would like to specialize in these areas can build an (on theme) house here.
*The town mine will be located here as well as shops for people who want to sell/trade redstone circuitry services, building services, or mining services.
*Public tool dispensers will be available and are restocked by the income of the town.
*Those who stand out in these areas may be asked/hired by town managers to help in public building projects.
* The Agricultural District
This district is the center for ranching and farming, If you have been with us in the past you know these are some of the highest paying and useful areas to be in here in The Black Forest and in Noobstown
*Public farms and ranches are as always available and operate under the harvest and replant rule. (in the case of items like wheat which drops additional seeds, it is considered a courtesy to put some of these back in the provided chest)
*Donating some of your farmed items from public crops is as always optional, and the donated items will go towards future town projects. (excess sugarcane for library, wheat for public ranches, wheat seeds for replanting if trampled, or vendored to buy building supplies etc.) What goes around comes around.
*Players Who wish to live in this area will have to build a home according to theme and will have the option to be designated as official town farmers.
* The Alchemical District
Ready to get your Equivalent Exchange and Transmutation on? This might just be your district.
*Public Brew stands and enchanting tables are made available here, as well as a direct portal to the nether where we will house a nether-wart farm (Harvest and replant mandatory)
*Public potion dispensers and glass bottle dispensers are available and restocked by the generosity of alchemists and town income.
*If you would like to build a house in this district, just make sure its on theme, and you will also be given the option to become a state-official alchemist and sell some of your potions to the government and military.
* The Residential District
Not looking to specialize? This is for you
*Public facilities, dining and attraction will all be made available here, as well as buyable land and the option to contract a town mason to build your home.
Rules and Rights
*As a citizen you are entitled the right to buy land and use all that is made available to city
*As a citizen you will respect and honor your fellow residents, meaning you will not grief another persons house, ask for permission to enter their house, respect rules on public facilities, and maintain a courteous and considerate attitude
*If a dispute between two or more citizens forms, Try to get a town assistant as soon as possible. The Appropriate action will be made to settle it, and this will prevent town violence
*If war takes place and we must form a military, It is and will remain completely optional to join
*If anything at all is upsetting you, ask or tell a town assistant or manager and we will see what we can do for you
*If you ever decide to leave the town, you are given 2 whole (real life) days to move your house and your possessions, if you require assistance we will even aid you in the moving process.
the code is: the white forest
Now that thats over, If you would like to reserve your residence in the continuation of one of the greatest towns noobstown has ever known, Just tell us why you want to join, and if you have already made your mind up tell us which district you would like to live in.
Thanks everyone - Hchambers, town assistant of The Black Forest
