WesterosLive — Player Guide
A Game of Thrones-inspired Towny RP Server
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 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
- Java Edition: just
westeros.live— no port needed, the address resolves it automatically. - Bedrock Edition:
westeros.liveport19018— Bedrock can't auto-discover a port the way Java can, so it has to be typed in manually. - Older and newer Java client versions than the server's own all work — no need to match the server's exact version.
Money
The currency is Silver Stags: /balance to
check yours and /pay <player> <amount> to send some.
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./back— return to where you were before the server last moved you (e.g. join-time event routing)./end— random-teleport to a safe spot in the End.
Playing with friends
Invite someone to your town with /town add <player>
(mayor/officer), or they can join directly with /town join
<townname> if the town allows open joining. Use /tpa//tpahere to meet up 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 — gear stays plain, no magic swords. Anvils themselves are fine: craft them, repair and rename freely.
- No potions. Drinking or throwing one does nothing.
- No villager trading. Villagers and wandering traders won't trade.
- No beacons. Beacons can't be placed.
- Tools wear out 5x faster. Gear degrades fast — keep spares.
- Crops grow 3x slower. Saplings and other slow-growing blocks take longer too.
Your character
Every resident picks a culture and optionally a religion, and belongs to a house with its own name, motto, banner, spouse and heir. It is all flavour — none of it changes how the game plays — but it is how your character fits the world.
/resident religion set <name>— pick your religion./resident house— your house: name, motto, spouse, heir./banner— a full banner kit (once a day), then/resident house banner setwhile holding the finished banner./town culture set <name>— town leadership sets the town's culture./town roles assign <player> <role>— mayors hand out custom titles.
Every option, every limit and the full command list: Towny & roleplay.
Town events
Town officers can run an in-world event — a tournament, a feast, 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 first. Anyone joining while an event is
live spawns straight into it, and every event is posted to Discord and the
wiki automatically.
All 27 event types, costs and the full command list: Events.
Once you start building
Two things that only come up later, so you are not caught out:
- Cobblestone generators don't work. Lava meeting water won't make cobble or stone, so mine it the normal way. Obsidian still forms, so nether portals are fine.
- Chests in the End are stripped. Anything you find there comes out without its enchantments, and any potion turns into an empty bottle.
