Create a flat Java world

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to configure a NolimitHost Minecraft Java Edition server to generate a new Superflat world.

Set level-type=minecraft:flat, then generate a new world. This setting does not flatten chunks that already exist.

  1. Back up the current world — Create a server backup. A fresh flat world does not contain the builds or player progress from the current world.
  2. Stop the server — Wait for a clean shutdown before editing files, so the running server does not overwrite your changes.
  3. Change the world type — Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your Minecraft Java server. In the left sidebar, click File Manager and open server.properties (the main server configuration file), then set: 
    level-type=minecraft:flat
  4. Generate a fresh world — Follow Reset a Java world, then start the server. The setting applies when the new world generates. Restarting the server applies the change from server.properties.
  5. Verify the result — Join the server and confirm that new terrain uses the flat preset.

To return to standard terrain, set level-type=minecraft:normal and generate another fresh world. Remember to stop the server before editing and restart it after saving. Changing the property alone does not rebuild existing chunks.
