WesterosLive — Player Guide
A Game of Thrones-inspired Towny RP Server
Last updated: 2026-07-26 4:36 PM EST.
WesterosLive is Game of Thrones in Minecraft. At its heart is a custom event system: throw a tournament or stage a trial by combat. Any player who joins the server while an event is live spawns right there, and every event is posted automatically to Discord and the wiki. It's a mechanically difficult server — gear wears out fast, there's no enchanting, no potions, and crops grow slowly — but it avoids the grind-and-conquer culture of other experiences. There's no way to wage war to conquer other nations.
Getting started
Connecting
- You need a real Minecraft account. Cracked launchers like TLauncher can't get in.
- Java Edition:
westeros.live. No port. - Bedrock Edition:
westeros.live, port19018. Bedrock can't find the port on its own, so you have to type it. - Any recent Java version works — you don't have to match the server's exactly.
Money
The currency is Silver Stags: /balance to
check yours and /pay <player> <amount> to send some. The fastest first coins are votes — 1 Silver Stag each
time, and /vote gives you the links. After that, a player shop trades for you whether
you're online or not.
Every cost and every way to earn: Economy.
Everyday commands
/home,/sethome,/delhome— set/teleport to/delete a home (see the Commands page for the current home limit)./tpa <player>,/tpahere <player>,/tpaccept— request to teleport to/from another player./message(/whisper) — private message another player.
Playing with friends
A mayor or officer invites people with /town add <player>.
If a town has opened itself up, you can walk in yourself with /town join
<townname>. /tpa and /tpahere get you to each other quickly.
What's different here
These change how you play from your very first day.
- 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 5x faster. Armour, weapons and tools all take damage faster than normal — 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.
Your character
Start with the banner — your sigil, flown by your house and shown on every event the server announces for you. Then a house to fly it, a religion, and a culture the mayor picks for the whole town. None of it changes how the game plays. All of it is optional.
/banner— a full banner kit (once a day): blank banner, loom, every dye and every pattern. Make your sigil, then hold it and run/resident house banner set./res house banner set <base> <colour:pattern> ...— build it by design instead. A loom stops at six pattern layers; this doesn't, so you can go further than the loom allows./res house banner add <colour:pattern> ...— keep stacking layers onto the banner you already have./resident house— your house: name, motto, spouse, heir./resident religion set <name>— pick your religion./town culture set <name>— the mayor's call, for the whole town./town roles assign <player> <role>— mayors hand out titles.
Every culture, faith and title, and the full command list: Towns.
Town events
A mayor or officer can throw a tournament, a feast or a trial by combat
with /town event create <type> [delay] <description>.
Each runs 30 minutes, and only one runs on the whole
server at a time — so check /town event upcoming before
you book. Anyone joining while it's live lands straight in it, and the server
posts it to Discord and the wiki for you.
All 27 types, the cost and every command: Events.
Once you start building
Four things that only come up later, so you are not caught out:
/back. If logging in dropped you at an event, this puts you back where you logged out. One use./end. Drops you somewhere random on the End's main island, clear of the exit portal.- Cobblestone generators don't work. Lava and water won't make cobble or stone — mine it the normal way. Obsidian still forms, so nether portals are fine.
- The End strips chests. Anything you take out of a chest or barrel there comes out disenchanted, and potions come out as empty bottles. That includes your own storage, so keep enchanted gear in an ender chest.
