How to change world preset on a Minecraft server

Header image

Presets allow administrators to customize the game world to the individual needs of players. They enable the adjustment of terrain type, structure placement, and the size of generated biomes. Fans of flat, empty terrains and those who prefer highly mountainous areas will certainly find something to their liking. The Minecraft world is incredibly flexible and will allow you to create anything you dream of. In this guide, we will explain how to change the preset on a Minecraft server using our intuitive control panel in just a few moments.

How to change world preset

1. Go to the control panel and select your Minecraft server.

2. Access server files and edit “server.properties” file.

3. Navigate “level-name” and “level-type” lines.

level-name” line is responsible for the save name of your Minecraft world. Changing the save name is necessary to use another preset. Enter a new save name here.

level-type” line is responsible for the preset you will use on your server. Enter a new preset in exactly this configuration:

level-type=minecraft\:<PresetName>

4. Click “SAVE CONTENT” to save all changes.

5. Restart your Minecraft server.

In this table you will find all available presets:

World PresetDescription
