How to Create a Flat World on Your Minecraft Server

Superflat worlds (or Flat worlds) are essential for creative servers, redstone testing grounds, and mini-game lobbies. Instead of standard mountains, oceans, and caves, a Superflat world provides an endless, perfectly flat landscape made of grass and bedrock.

This guide will walk you through how to generate a flat world on your Cubes Hosting server using server settings or world management plugins.

Method 1: Creating a New Flat World via Server.Properties

If you want your server's main world to be completely flat, you can configure it directly in your server configuration settings.

1. Go to your Cubes Hosting Game Panel and Stop your server. (Important: Always stop your server before modifying world generation settings!)
2. Open the File Manager and locate the server.properties file in your root directory.
3. Find the level-type setting. By default, it will look like this:

   level-type=DEFAULT
   

4. Change the value to FLAT (or minecraft\:flat on modern versions):

   level-type=FLAT
   

5. Generate a New World: Since Minecraft will not rewrite existing terrain, you must either:
   • Option A: Change the world name on the line level-name=world to something new like level-name=flatworld.
   • Option B: Delete your current world directory in the File Manager.
6. Save the server.properties file and Start your server.

Upon startup, Minecraft will generate a fresh, perfectly flat world!

Method 2: Creating a Flat World using Multiverse-Core (Multi-World)

If you already have a main survival world and simply want to add a flat world alongside it (for creative building or testing), you should use the Multiverse-Core plugin.

1. Install Multiverse-Core into your server's plugins folder and restart your server.
2. Connect to your server in-game as an Operator (OP).
3. Run the following command:

   /mv create creative_world normal -t flat
   

4. Wait a few seconds for Multiverse to generate the world.
5. Teleport to your new flat world by typing:

   /mv tp creative_world
   

Pro-Tips for Creative & Testing Flat Worlds

Once your flat world is generated, you will likely want to adjust a few game settings to make building easier:

• Disable Slime Spawning: Slimes constantly spawn in flat worlds. You can turn off mob spawning with: /gamerule doMobSpawning false(Then clear existing slimes with /kill @e[type=slime])
• Lock Time to Day: Prevent night time so you always have perfect visibility: /gamerule doDaylightCycle false(Followed by /time set day)
• Disable Weather: Keep the skies clear: /gamerule doWeatherCycle false

Conclusion

Creating a flat world gives you a clean canvas for massive builds, redstone contraptions, or event arenas. Whether you set level-type=FLAT for your main world or use Multiverse-Core for a secondary creative zone, setting up a flat world takes just a couple of minutes!
