Server

- 2. Without village: open /village → Create Village (250 coins) or Joinen.

Village vs settlement
These are two different things Not synonyms.
| Village | Settlement | |
|---|---|---|
| What? | The group / community | Place on the folder |
| Contains | Members, grades, invitations, friendships, country rules | Claims, own greenhouse, spawn, warps |
| Limit | You're in. one village | Per village: 1 head + max 3 subvillages |
With Create / Village get one automatically head-down (often the same name as your village).
One subvillage (/village claim new village) is a additional settlement under the same village, no separate membership. Members remain in the village; You can assign them to another settlement (settings → Settlements).
Money for claims/spawn/warps comes from the greenhouse of that settlement. Deposit without choosing settlement goes to the greenhouse of your settlement (usually the head).
In short: village = who you are, settlement = where you build.
