How to Create a Flat World on a Hytale Server

Creating a flat world on a Hytale server provides a blank canvas that removes the constraints of natural terrain, making it the ideal environment for large-scale architectural projects and complex technical builds. This specialized world type streamlines the creative process by providing a uniform surface, eliminating the need for extensive terraforming or clearing existing biomes. By utilizing a simplified landscape, a server can also optimize performance for testing custom assets, scripts, and massive community-driven constructions.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Go to the Console tab.

3. Enter the following command with the desired world name: /world add <name> --gen Flat

4. Wait a minute for the world to generate.

Note: At this point, the world is ready with 1 layer of blocks. Admins can use the command /spawn set to avoid falling from the default spawn. Learn how to OP here.

5. Stop the server.

6. Go to the Files tab.

7. Find the following directory: /home/container/universe/worlds

8. Choose the world folder with the name from step 3.

9. Open the config.json file.

10. Highlight the "Layers": [] text.

11. Replace the "Layers": [] text with the following:

"Layers": [
     {
       "From": 0,
       "To": 75,
       "BlockType": "Rock_Stone",
       "Environment": "Env_Zone1_Plains"
     },
     {
       "From": 75,
       "To": 79,
       "BlockType": "Soil_Dirt",
       "Environment": "Env_Zone1_Plains"
     },
     {
       "From": 79,
       "To": 80,
       "BlockType": "Soil_Grass",
       "Environment": "Env_Zone1_Plains"
     },
     {
       "From": 80,
       "To": 320,
       "BlockType": "Empty",
       "Environment": "Env_Zone1_Plains"
     }
   ]

12. Press the Save button.

13. Start the server.

14. Go to the Console tab.

15. Enter the following command: /worldgen reload --world <name> --clear

16. Wait for the world to regenerate chunks.
