We have a video tutorial for creating a flat world:
A flat or superflat world in Minecraft is a world with no features on its terrain such as trees, hills, and bodies of water. By default, a flat/superflat world consists of a layer of bedrock, two layers of dirt, and one layer of grass. Villages and mobs will also spawn in this world. Spawning of other structures and terrain features can be included through custom the configuration for the world generation.
If you would like to generate a flat or superflat world for your Minecraft server, you may follow the steps below:
JAVA EDITION
- Log in to your server's Multicraft panel (https://mc.shockbyte.com). If you have more than one server, select the server with the world you would like to reset.
- Stop your server if it is currently running.
- On the left sidebar menu of your Multicraft Panel (https://mc.shockbyte.com/), navigate to Files > Config Files.
- On the Config Files page, select Server Settings.
- Locate the option called level-type and type FLAT on the textbox next to it.
- After you have set the level type to FLAT, save the settings by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on the blue Save button.
- If you have an existing world, you must reset/delete this before starting your server by following this guide: How to Reset your Minecraft World.
- After you have reset your server's world, start your Minecraft server to allow for a flat world to be generated.
BEDROCK EDITION
For Bedrock, there is no server setting to use a flat world, so you'll need to do it a different way.
- In Singleplayer, create a new flat world.
- Once created, upload this world to your server using this guide - https://shockbyte.com/billing/knowledgebase/175/Upload-and-Use-a-Custom-World-on-Your-Minecraft-Bedrock-Server.html
That's it! You have successfully changed your Minecraft server world to flat.
