Towns, Settlements and POIs
Towns
A player created settlement which has reached a certain size can apply for Town status. Towns get extra perks including a marker on the Dynmap which is visible by default, a listing on the RTGame Wiki Minecraft Server page and an in-game Sightseeing Advancement for players who visit.
To be classed as a town you must reach these requirements:
- At least 5 claims by different players
- At least 3 completed buildings
- At least 3 players who have been active in the past 2 weeks
- A communal nether portal
- A decent wiki page that documents the town, see this example
To apply for town status, please ensure you meet the above requirements, then politely DM Katuen#8936Katuend with the link to the Wiki page. Please allow some time for your town to be checked.
Settlements
Settlements are smaller locations which have not reached a sufficient size to be considered a Town. The requirements for a settlement are considered on a case-by-case basis, but typically two or more active players and a Nether connection are sufficient.
Like towns, settlements can have a directory block on the Nether Hub directory. Settlements will also appear on the Dynmap in a separate layer which is hidden by default.
Points of Interest (POI)
Points of interest are locations that might be of interest to multiple players.
Some examples of this may include:
- Community events - Secret Santa, Easter, etc
- A notable building or structure - George statue, Labyrinth, etc
- PvP Arenas
POIs are considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally require:
- A decent wiki page
- A direct nether connection
- A welcome board / book for those who visit
- Any building to be largely completed
POI may also eligible for a Sightseeing Advancement for players who visit, on a case-by-case basis. To ask about this, please politely DM Katuen#8936Katuend with the link to the Wiki page.
