Help CenterThis guide will show you how to generate a flat world for your Minecraft server! This will allow you to get a flat surface for building and creating a world exactly how you want it.
Step 1: Log into your Server Panel & Stop Your Server
First things first, login to the SimpleGameHosting Control Panel if you haven't already.
After you have logged in, make sure to stop your server.
This is done by going to the "Console" tab and click the Stop button on this page.
Step 2: Locate your server.properties File
Next, click on the "File Manager" tab at the top of the control panel.
Then, locate the server.properties file and click on it to open it.
Step 3: Locate the 'level-type' Option
In the server.properties file, find level-type: option. This is where you can define your level type on a Minecraft server.
ℹ️ Note: This option won't always be on the same line, depending on the version of the server.
Step 4: Change the 'level-type' option to "flat"
To actually make your world generate as a superflat world, set the level-type to flat.
This will result in the line being level-type=flat
Step 5: Regenerate your World
You can regenerate your world by using one of two methods: Deleting the world entirely or renaming the world folder.
Method One: Deleting the World
Go to the "File Manager" tab and locate your "world" folder.
Click the check box next to the "world" folder and click the Delete button at the bottom of the page.
Confirm you want to delete your world, and you're good to go!
⚠️ Using this method WILL erase the world forever! Only use this method if you know you will not use this world again!
Method Two: Renaming the World Folder
The other method of remove your world is renaming it.
Go to the "File Manager" tab in the control panel and locate the "world" folder.
Click the three dots next to the world folder and click Rename.
Rename the folder to "world-old". The world is now reset.
ℹ️ You can rename the world folder to anything, so long as it doesn't overwrite another file. I recommend doing 'world-old' for the best results.
Step 6: Start & Join Your Server
Now, all you need to do to play on your Minecraft server with a superflat world is go back to the "Console" tab and click the "Start" button on your server.
Once you are server is online, you can join it using the IP address on the Console tab, and the server will have a super flat world!
