how to make a flat dimension
Sun, 03/05/2023 - 03:24

hello,

i'm trying to make a dimension for 1.18 that's equivalent to a superflat world. i've made a biome that should be entirely or almost entirely flat in the latest stable version, and made this the only biome in my dimension, but assumedly because of the worldgen types the biome spawns with hills. is there a good way to achieve a flat dimension? all of the older topics on the subject seem to be irrelevant now.

Unfortunately, You can't make them flat.
Biomes in the latest versions, they're no longer affecting the terrain. Terrain only affects biome spawning and it could cause vanilla and custom biomes to compete for the same spot.

that much is fine, i have it set not to spawn naturally so it shouldn't compete for anything. but i assume in that case i'd have to patch in custom terrain gen somehow to get it flat, like using actual superflat gen or writing my own (and honestly if that's the case i don't think i can be bothered just to make a creative portal for my friend; i have everything else working so natural gen is fine)
