A new feature and several fixes of bugs and complaints.

Dear players,

Be prepared for a lot of Towny warfare changes, we have pushed a good amount of stuff for you guys to enjoy.

First off, there is a new command now: /town set resetspawn. Whenever an enemy town takes your homeblock during warfare, your town will receive a notification explaining that you can pay 50.000 Yuans to that enemy town to reset your homeblock and your spawn automatically. The mayors or assistants have to be online when the homeblock is taken, or else you will not be able to use this command. The spawn will be set somewhere randomly in the town in a chunk that is not in an outpost.

Next to that, we are trying to reorganize the towns in order for the towns to contain out of one general town area and several outposts anywhere else in the world. This means that we disabled the ability to set homeblocks or spawns on outposts, since players were using this to essentially create shell towns for themselves. Along with this, the chunks will now be detected during warfare on whether the chunk is next to the general town area or in an outpost and will be marked correspondingly.

We also received several small complaints about players putting lava on homeblocks and essentially spawn killing the enemies. Because of this, we introduced a 7 seconds long fire resistance buff on spawning from death. Fire benders will still deal damage through this resistance with fireblast, but blaze and other actual fire ticks will be negated during this duration.

There were some complaints about the lag close to a flag block and the torch on top of a flag block blocking the wool, so we removed the fireworks and the torch on top of the flag. Instead, we added a glowstone block underneath the flag that will revert whenever the flag is removed.

Finally, we made some clear notifications as to when a homeblock is being taken and a warning for warfare when a town creates or joins a nation.

Thanks for reading
