How to Make a Flat World Minecraft Server
If you're ready to build a uniquely engaging Minecraft experience, making a superflat world Minecraft server is a fantastic starting point. When the entire world is set to a Plains biome by default, villages generate more frequently, and strongholds still appear underground, making structures a bit harder to find and explore, since there are much more than two layers.
In this guide, we'll show you the initial setup process on how to make it just one layer of grass blocks, and as well as how to configure your flat world.
WARNING: This tutorial will delete your current world generation. Make sure to create a backup before following any of the steps below to create your newly generated world. If you don't, you will lose your entire world file.
Log into your Apollo Panel
Head over to the Files tab and open the server.properties file
Navigate the line level-type=minecraft\:normal in your server properties and change it from normal to flat
Save your content and reset the world for the new world to be generated
You can delete your current server world by deleting the world folder in your Files Manager
To add a flat world to Minecraft Bedrock edition world, edit the "level-type" property and changing it to "minecraft\:flat"
To add a flat world to your Minecraft Bedrock world in-game:
Open your game
After choosing your world's name, and choosing the desired game mode, such as creative mode
Make sure to turn on Flat World
