EmptyWorldGenerator

Works in Minecraft 1.12!

This is a world generator that creates empty/void worlds.

I created this plugin because we needed a reliable and easy way to create empty worlds on my network (mainly for minigames), and none of the plugins I found satisfied me.

This plugin's main purpose is to create worlds. However, to make building easier, it also has an option in its config that is enabled by default. If it is enabled, worlds will have a circle of bedrock at 0, 64, 0 (location and circle radius can be changed from config) and the player will spawn on top of it. This is so that you can easily start building in the empty world. You can disable this option from the config.

Instructions:

Single World Servers: At the root/main directory of your server, edit your bukkit.yml and add this to the end:

worlds:
  <worldname>:
    generator: EmptyWorldGenerator

Note: <worldname> will probably be "world" (without quotes) if you haven't changed it.

Note: Delete the old world first.

Note: To make sure no structures are generated, set generate-structures in the server.properties to false.

Note: If you want the void darkness and particles to start at around Y=0 instead of Y=64, set the level-type in the server.properties to FLAT.

Servers with Multiverse: When creating the world, use this command:

/mv create <worldname> normal -g EmptyWorldGenerator

Note: If you want the void darkness and particles to start at around Y=0 instead of Y=64, add "-t FLAT" (without quotes) to the end of the command.

Servers with Multiworld: When creating the world, use this command:

/mw create <worldname> plugin:EmptyWorldGenerator

Servers with My Worlds: When creating the world, use this command:

/world create <worldname>:EmptyWorldGenerator

Note: If you want the void darkness and particles to start at around Y=0 instead of Y=64, use the command "/world create <worldname>/flat:EmptyWorldGenerator" (without quotes) instead.

Permissions:

None for this plugin. If you want to change who can create worlds, you do that with your world management plugin (Multiverse, Multiworld, My Worlds, etc.)

Commands:

None.

Bugs/Problems:

None that I know of. If you find one, submit a ticket.

Upcoming Features:

The point of this plugin is for it to be basic and lightweight, but I am open to suggestions. If you want a feature added, submit a ticket.

Extra Info:

• This plugin can spawn a circle of bedrock at 0, 64, 0 (location and circle radius can be changed from config) but you might also want to place another block somewhere else, in the emptiness. If so, you can use these:
  • If you are using WorldEdit, you can use these commands:
  • Teleports you a number of blocks up, and spawns one glass block

    //up <number of blocks up>
    

  • Spawns a number of blocks in the shape of a pyramid

    //pyramid <block type> <number>
    

  • Spawns a number of blocks in the shape of a circle or cylinder

    //cyl <block type> <number>
    

  • Spawns a number of blocks in the shape of a sphere/ball

    //sphere <block type> <number>
    

  • If you know more commands or plugins that can do this, post it in the comments.

• You can use this plugin with other plugins, such as a skyblock plugin, if that plugin doesn't create the empty air itself.

Metrics:

EmtpyWorldGenerator automatically collects some very basic information from your server so that I can see how EmtpyWorldGenerator is used. If you want to disable this, you can opt out at any time by going to the "PluginMetrics" folder in your plugins folder, opening the config and setting "opt-out" to true.
