Worlds and dimensions
Multiple worlds
A world lives in worlds/<name>/, with its LevelDB in db/. The world in level-name is the main one. Names can be up to 64 characters and cannot contain / \ : * ? " < > | or control characters.
All /world forms need the console:
| Form | Effect |
|---|---|
world list | Lists loaded worlds, then those only on disk |
world create <name> [seed] | Creates and loads a world. Without a seed, one is chosen at random |
world load <name> | Loads a world from disk |
world unload <name> | Unloads a world |
world tp <name> [player] | Moves a player to a world |
To load worlds at startup:
worlds-autoload=creative,minigamesPlugins can do the same with Server::worlds(), Server::loadWorld(name, create, seed) and Server::unloadWorld(name).
Dimensions
Each world has an Overworld, a Nether and an End, each with its own generator: OverworldGenerator, NetherGenerator and TheEndGenerator.
Nether portals and End portals are implemented, including the End obsidian platform and the End podium. PlayerChangeDimensionEvent lets a plugin change or cancel a crossing.
Flat worlds
The generator type comes from the world's level.dat: Generator set to 2 selects FlatWorldGenerator, with FlatWorldLayers for the layers. No server.properties key selects it, so a flat world is one created elsewhere and copied in.
Moving worlds
Worlds use the Bedrock format. Copy a world folder into worlds/ and load it, or copy one out to use it in the game. Old block states are upgraded when read.
Generation accuracy
Falcon.Server/tools/WorldGenParity.cpp compares generated chunks against Bedrock Dedicated Server. Over 32×32 chunks it measures 99.6% block match on a test seed and 98.1% on seed 42. Structures are in progress.
Ticking areas
/tickingarea keeps areas loaded. Chunks are otherwise ticked within tick-distance of a player.
