WesterosLive Guide

A Game of Thrones themed Towny server

Last updated: 2026-07-31 10:55 AM EST.

WesterosLive is Game of Thrones in Minecraft. At its heart is a custom event system: hold a tournament or host a wedding, and anyone joining while it runs spawns right there. Every event is announced on Discord and given its own wiki page automatically. It is also a mechanically hard server, where gear wears out fast, enchanting is switched off, potions do nothing and you drink brews instead. Crops grow slowly. The one thing you never have to worry about is war, because nobody can take your land or raid you.

Join the server

You need a real Minecraft account. Cracked launchers such as TLauncher cannot connect.
Java Edition: westeros.live. No port.
Bedrock Edition: westeros.live, port 19018. Bedrock can't find the port on its own, so you have to type it.
Any recent Java version works. You do not have to match the server's version exactly.

What's different here

These rules change how you play from your very first day.

There is no war. You cannot conquer, raid or take another town's land. Nations compete through events and trade, not conquest.
No enchanting. Enchantment tables don't work and anvils won't apply enchanted books, so gear stays plain. Anvils still repair and rename as normal.
No vanilla potions. Drinking or throwing one does nothing. Brewed drinks are the exception, and the main way to get a buff here.
No villager trading. Villagers and wandering traders won't trade.
No beacons. Beacons can't be placed.
Tools and gear wear out 4x faster. Armor, weapons and tools all take damage faster than normal, so keep spares.
Crops grow 3x slower. So does everything else that grows or spreads on its own: saplings, vines, fire, melting ice. Random tick speed is 1 instead of the usual 3.

Find land and start your town

The first time you join, the server drops you somewhere random out in the wild. If you do not like where you landed, run /rtp (or /wild) to be moved somewhere else. Repeat it as often as you like until you find ground you want. The live map shows every town already standing, so you can check which land is taken before you settle.

Stand where you want it and run /town new <name>, which claims the chunk you're standing in and makes you its mayor, for free.

Claimed land belongs to you, and nobody outside the town may build upon it. Expand it a single chunk at a time using /town claim. Each chunk costs 1 Silver Stag from the town bank, so keep money in it with /town deposit <amount>. Land limits, plots, outposts and nations are all explained on the Towns page.

Or join a friend's town

A mayor or officer invites you with /town add <player>, although membership is not immediate. You answer the invitation personally, using /accept <townname> to accept or /deny <townname> to decline, while /invite lists everything currently awaiting your answer. A town that permits open membership can be entered directly with /town join <townname>. /tpa and /tpahere transport you to each other quickly.

Two mistakes are especially common. First, spell names precisely as the player or town writes them, capital letters included, because “Not a valid name” almost always indicates a typing error. Second, a nation is an alliance of towns, not a larger town. Joining one grants you no additional land, because a town only ever expands a single chunk at a time with /town claim.

Money

The currency is Silver Stags: /balance displays your total and /pay <player> <amount> transfers money to somebody else. The quickest early income is voting, which pays 1 Silver Stag every time. /vote provides the links. Afterwards a player shop trades on your behalf whether or not you are online. Every price, and every method of earning, appears on the Economy page.

Everyday commands

/sethome establishes a home and /home returns you to it from anywhere, and every player receives 1 home. /tpa <player> requests permission to teleport to another player. /msg <player> delivers a private message. Everything else is listed on the Commands page.

Your character

Begin with your banner. It is your sigil, and it appears on every event your town announces. Run /banner to receive the materials (once a day), craft one at a loom, then hold it and run /banner set.

Your house name, your religion and your town's culture are all described on the House page.

Town events

A mayor or officer can hold a tournament, a feast or a trial by combat with /event create <type> [delay] <description>. Each one continues for 20 minutes, and only one may run across the entire server, so consult /event upcoming beforehand. Anyone connecting while it is running arrives directly inside it, and the server announces it on Discord and the wiki automatically.

All 30 types, the price and every command appear on the Events page.
