WesterosLive Guide

A Game of Thrones themed Towny server

Last updated: 2026-07-31 5:09 AM EST.

WesterosLive is Game of Thrones in Minecraft. At its heart is a custom event system: throw a tournament or host a wedding. Anyone who joins the server while an event is live spawns right there, and every event is posted to Discord and the wiki for you. It's a mechanically hard server. Gear wears out fast, there's no enchanting, potions don't work so you drink brews instead, and crops grow slowly. However, there is no war: nobody can take your land or raid you.

Join the server

You need a real Minecraft account. Cracked launchers like TLauncher can't get in.
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 don't have to match the server's exactly.

What's different here

These 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, trade and reputation, 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 — 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

Do not build your town at spawn. /rtp (or /wild) drops you somewhere random out in the wild. Run it until you find ground you like. The live map shows every town already standing, so you can see what land is taken.

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

Claimed land is yours: nobody outside the town can build on it. Grow it one chunk at a time with /town claim. Each chunk costs 1 Silver Stag from the town bank, so put money in it with /town deposit <amount>. Land limits, plots, outposts and nations: Towns.

Or join a friend's town

A mayor or officer invites you with /town add <player>. You do not join straight away. You answer the invite yourself with /accept <townname>, or turn it down with /deny <townname>. /invite lists every invite waiting on you. If a town lets anyone join, you can join it with /town join <townname>. /tpa and /tpahere get you to each other quickly.

Two common mistakes. Spell names exactly as the player or town writes them, capitals included; “Not a valid name” almost always means a typo. And a nation is an alliance of towns, not a bigger town. Joining one gives you no extra land. Land only ever grows one chunk at a time, with /town claim.

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. /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

/sethome sets a home and /home takes you back to it. You get 1 home. /tpa <player> asks to teleport to someone. /msg <player> sends a private message. The rest: Commands.

Your character

Start with your banner. It's your sigil, and it flies on every event your town announces. Run /banner for the kit (once a day), make one, then hold it and run /banner set.

Your house name, your faith and your town's culture all live 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 runs 20 minutes, and only one runs on the whole server at a time, so check /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 30 types, the cost and every command: Events.
