Worlds

A lightweight yet powerful plugin for Paper servers (version 1.21+), designed to make world management simple, fast, and flexible. With Worlds, server administrators can create, import, and manage multiple worlds with ease, while controlling world-specific settings like game rules and plugin-provided flags.

Features

• Create and Import Worlds
  Easily generate new worlds or import existing ones. Supports both normal and flat world types, along with custom environments.

• World Editing
  Modify worlds after creation, including game rules and plugin-provided flags.

• Lightweight Design
  Despite its simplicity, Worlds provides all the essential features without unnecessary overhead.

• Pre-generate Chunks
  Pre-render chunks around world spawns to reduce lag and prevent chunk generation issues for players.

• Flexible Configuration
  Each world can have its own settings saved in a structured JSON configuration, allowing easy backups and edits.

• Async & Performance-Optimized
  Long-running tasks like pre-generating chunks are handled asynchronously, keeping your server responsive.

Commands

The plugin provides a main /world command with several subcommands:

• /world create <name> – Creates a new world.
• /world import <name> – Imports an existing world folder.
• /world delete <name> [true/false] – Deletes a world; pass true to also remove the world folder.
• /world flag <world> <flag> <value> – Edit settings and flags for a specific world.
• /world teleport <world> [player] – Teleport a player to a world's spawn-location.
• /world list – List all worlds.

Note: All commands require the appropriate permissions (e.g. worlds.command.create), which can be configured via your server’s permission system.

Configuration

Worlds stores world settings in a JSON-based configuration file. Each world entry includes:

• World type and environment
• Game rules (e.g., doDaylightCycle, keepInventory)
• Difficulty
• Built-in flags
• Pre-generate chunk radius

Example:

{
  "world": {
    "type": "NORMAL",
    "environment": "NORMAL",
    "difficulty": "PEACEFUL",
    "gameRules": {
      "doDaylightCycle": true,
      "keepInventory": false
    },
    "flags": {
      "pvp": false
    },
    "preGenerateChunkRadius": 100
  }
}
