Level Type refers to the type of map or world that your server generates. By default, there are four level types that you can choose from:
Level Type | Description |
---|---|
DEFAULT For 1.19+ use NORMAL |
This is the default, standard world type. It includes hills, valleys, water and more. |
FLAT | This is a flat world with no features such as hills, valleys or bodies of water. You can still use generator settings to modify how a flat world is generated. |
LARGEBIOMES For 1.19+ use LARGE_BIOMES |
This world type is essentially the same as "DEFAULT/NORMAL" type, except that biomes are larger. |
AMPLIFIED | This world type is essentially the same as "DEFAULT/NORMAL" type, except that mountains are much higher, ravines are much deeper, and floating islands can spawn high in the sky. |
Along with this, if you're using 1.19 or above, the level types DEFAULT and LARGEBIOMES are no longer recognized as level types, you must use NORMAL and LARGE_BIOMES.
