New in Town is a multi-stage, story-driven, settler's experience Data Pack for Minecraft version 1.16.5. You are tasked with founding, building up, and defending a modular settlement from the forces of the Nether, then taking the fight to them as you construct your own Nether Fortress! It is partially inspired by the long-discontinued
Tale of Kingdoms mod, and seeks to recreate and expand on the town-building gameplay it popularized.
Starting from humble beginnings -- a settler's wagon -- employ the help of your Town Planner's expertise to build new settlement sites, from Mines and Lumber Mills to the Wizard Tower and Bard's College. As your town grows, invaders from the Nether will emerge nearby, seeking to destroy you. Their attacks will grow more fierce, eventually culminating in the appearance of the Tyrant himself, a mighty Wither!
New in Town: Dimensions Pre-Release!There's still a long way to go and lots of content to add, but you are still welcome to download and enjoy a special first look at what will eventually be roped into New in Town proper. The dimensions and structures added by this pre-release are compatible with this New in Town data pack, however you do not need to have New in Town installed to enjoy and explore the dimensions and content of the Pre-Release; it is entirely independent!
Download with the link above.
New in Town features the following:
- Multiplayer compatibility; each player can found their own town or work as a group
- A natural progression system that doesn't detract from normal Minecraft gameplay
- Fully modular town, fortress, and city construction and layout, from what you build, where you build it, and in what order
- More than 50 structures spread across three dimensions
- Progressively more challenging attacks from the Nether
- Randomly generated natural features to explore, from a floating island to an ancient drill
- Taxes, resource gathering, and interaction with your villagers' economy
- Advancements to provide interesting goals as well as story beats
- Room to grow; more structures, natural features, and story beats may be added in the future
- And more!
Our growing community now has a Discord server, where you are free to discuss with other New in Town players about all things Minecraft, report bugs, and share suggestions for the future of the settler's experience! Come take a look!
The wiki is currently accurate and up-to-date with all Kingdoms information, and will be updated with more Counteroffensive and Refugee information in the coming days and weeks. You are welcome to contribute, but please ensure that your contributions are founded and accurate!
What to expect when you download New in Town:
- The Data Pack Zip File includes a Readme with helpful instructions for installing the data pack in the new 1.16 manner, as well as a strategy guide to help you get started and explain various time-and-progression mechanics, like Nether attacks.
- When you load your world with New in Town installed successfully, you'll receive the Town Charter when you collect an Oak Log. (Oak Logs are the only type that will work for town structures.) Click the text in that book, and your Wagon will generate around you.
- IMPORTANT: It is not recommended that you start your settlement near a large body of water, and especially not in the middle of an ocean. This can cause naturally generating features to generate very near or overwriting your Wagon, or not generate at all, as well as cause Nether attacks to destroy parts of your Wagon or town. You will receive a warning prompt if New in Town detects this as a risk.
Server Admin Information: Due to being a data pack, New in Town is not compatible with Paper or Spigot. It is presumed incompatible with Bukkit. Reports indicate that it may be compatible with Forge, but this is not verified. As a result, support with any bugs related to New in Town in a Multiplayer setting may be limited to Vanilla and Fabric servers, but you are welcome to join our Discord and engage in discussion and possible workarounds for any problems you experience running this data pack on your server.
Do also ensure that Command Blocks are enabled on your server, as certain features and mechanics utilize them to run location-based functions.
For more information, it is highly recommended you read the "Server Admin Info.txt" file inside the New in Town zipped folder.
Uninstallation Instructions:
Before removing New in Town from your world, use "/function nitk:uninstall" to clean up excess entities. The villagers in towns, fortresses, and end cities, as well as the structures themselves, will remain, but all other features of New in Town will not work. The villagers will remain persistent, but players will become able to kill them if they choose. You will need to perform this action at all areas where New in Town features exist, including in each dimension, as New in Town does not forceload these areas.

This isn't a bug with New in Town, per se, but a solution to help prevent this under all circumstances going forward will be included in the next major update (this part of said update is already complete)
If there isn't enough solid land around your settlement, in order to not crash the game, New in Town instead just doesn't spread the Nether attacks and instead keeps them at the wagon. You would have received a warning that some natural features may appear very close.
but I can't build the major office
I’ve tried before but it just does not work for me. idk how to fix it :p
I've gotta try this.
All recipe books except the End Portal Recipe can be obtained more than once, but yes, the Castle Permits are a one time trade to limit the size of the player's castle to 6. This is as intended, so there is no planned way to increase this.
If a player or server owner wants to distribute more of these items for any reason, including but not limited to players losing their unique items (so-called for a reason) they can use "/function nitk:debug/devbox" to get a chest with one of every unique item to use how they please.
That said, if one were to install New in Town on a world where the Enderdragon was already killed, the End would not need to be reset. The invasion of the End triggers as long as there is no loving Enderdragon, it doesn't mind who killed it or when.
There is a Minecraft bug that can sometimes cause the hitboxes of the entities for these tradeable Endermen to be mixed up, so if you're not able to open his trade menu, you can do so by attempting to run inside of him while right clicking repeatedly.
Im in love with the datapack btw
