Create a New World

Usage: /world create <name> [options...]

Permission: worlds.command.create

You can create new worlds with the /world create <name> command.
There are three main options: generator, type, and preset.
If you don't specify any of these options, the default world settings will be used.

Example

Creating a new world with the default settings:

/world create "My New World"

Using a world generator plugin

To generate a new world using a custom generator, use the command
/world create <name> generator <generator> ...
The generator argument takes the name of the plugin that provides the custom chunk generator or biome provider.

Example

PlotSquared generation example:

/world create city generator PlotSquared

Defining the world type

To generate a new world using a predefined world type, use the command
/world create <name> type <type> ...

World types denote the type of world you want to create.
The following types are available:

• normal (previously minecraft:noise) - The default world generation.
• flat (previously minecraft:flat) - A superflat world.
• large-biomes (previously minecraft:large_biomes) - All biomes are larger.
• amplified (previously minecraft:amplified) - Generates amplified terrain.
• single-biome (previously minecraft:fixed) - Uses one specified biome everywhere.
• debug (previously minecraft:debug) - Debug all block states.

Example

Amplified world example:

/world create Amplified type amplified

Using a flat world preset

To generate a new world using an existing preset, use the command
/world create <name> preset <preset> ...

World presets are a way to create worlds with specific settings.
Here you can find a list of available presets.
