How to Change Your Server’s Level-Type


This guide will show you how to properly change the `level-type` option for your server. This option can be found in the `server.settings` file from your root directory of the server.

The `level-type` option is used to generate custom worlds type. Most world generating mods and plugins require a custom `level-type` option.

|| ⚠ NOTE ⚠: If you want to set a custom level-type added by a plugin or mod, like the `BIOMESOP` level-type option that the mod Biomes O’ Plenty needs, you will have to change it manually, not using the Multicraft feature. Level-Types that are completely custom (added by a mod or plugin) need to be set up manually.

|| ⚠ NOTE ⚠: If you want to set a custom `level-type` for any of the mods mentioned above you will also have to generate a new world after changing the `level-type` for the changes to take place.

# Changing the Level-Type via Multicraft

||| If you want to change your level-type to one of the predefined existing ones, then the most simple way is to use the Multicraft feature. If you want a custom `level-type` (added by a mod or a plugin) you will have to set it manually.

The pre-existing `level-type` options we provide are the following

“`
– Standard World

– Flat World

– Large Biomes

– Amplified Height Limit

“`

To change the `level-type` via the Multicraft and generate a new world you need to:

1. Login into your [Multicraft](https://mc.ggservers.com/), and stop your server.

—

2. Find the `World` section and click on `Create New`.


—

3. Select the `Level Type` option you want, put a `World Name` and click on `Create`.


—

4. Start your server and the new world will automatically be generated according to the `level-type` you selected.

Now you just created a custom world using a specific `level-type` option from the ones we provide.

# Changing the Level-Type Manually

||| For any mod or plugin that adds a custom world generator, the level-type will be one that you will not find in your Multicraft, so you will have to change it manually.

Ones of the most known mods that require a custom level-type option are:

* [Botania: Garden of Glass](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-garden-of-glass-mod-1rcju8g/)
* [Open Terrain Generator](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/open-terrain-generator)
* [Biomes O’ Plenty](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-biomes-o-plenty-mod-1kuwpqm/)
* [BiomeBundle](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-biome-bundle-mod-gz8yvf/)

To change your `level-type` manually you will have to:

1. Login into your [Multicraft](https://mc.ggservers.com/), and stop your server.

—

2. Find the `World` section and click on `Create New`.


—

3. Select nothing for the `Level Type` option, put a `World Name` and click on `Create`.


—

4. Click on `Files`, then on `FTP files access` and log in.


—

5. Find the file called `server.settings` which is located in the root directory of the server, click on it, and click on `Edit`.


—

6. Find `level-type=` and set it to the `level-type` you want (like `BIOMESOP` or `botania-skyblock` depending on the mod/ plugin you are using for generating the world), then click on `Save`.


—

7. Start your server and the new world will be automatically generated accordingly to the `level-type` you selected.

Now you just set up a custom `level-type` option and generated a world with it.
