I'm trying to figure out what I would need to do in order to create a new world type. I have seen vanilla classes and kinda understand what some of them do.
What I want to achieve is to have a world type that will generate a regular world but will generate only the 1st chunk and nothing else.

 

Any guidance on what I should do to achieve this is appreciate.

 

Thanks a lot.

From a bit of reading, this would work: make a new WorldType (it's automatically registered) and override WorldType::getChunkGenerator to return a custom IChunkGenerator, in which you only generate the first chunk.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

 

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

 

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Thanks gonna take a look on that. I guess I kinda found that route, but forgot what bump I hit :P

Gonna give it a try again and see how it goes.

I found what was the "bump" I hit, even if I create my OneChunkGenerator, the method generateChunk(int x, int z) is been called from ChunkProviderServer so I guess I can't make it create just one chunk from the generator itself, but I have to keep going up.

Honestly world generation can be quite confusing. There is a huge number of classes and methods with similar sounding names - dimensions, dimension manager, world providers, world generators (both vanilla and Forge), chunk providers, chunk generators, biome providers, biome decorators, map generators, etc. that have methods like generate(), populate(), decorate().

 

Furthermore, the vanilla implementations are inconsistent and convoluted (for example, the WorldProvider class has a WorldType as well as a BiomeProvider and ChunkProvider instances, but WorldType generates those instances  -- whereas a cleaner implementation would simply reference those through the WorldType instance).

 

Because of this, it is possible to hook together the classes in all sorts of ways to accomplish the same things. At the end of the day, once you're in the world generation process it is simply about placing blocks (and entities) and as a programmer there are infinite possibilities on how to achieve that.

 

I did try to put together some information which may help you here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-1721710-biome-quick-tips.html

 

One way to string things together is as follows: if you want a custom world you could register a custom DimensionType which you then associate with a dimension id that you register to the DimensionManager. and is associated with a WorldProvider which has a WorldType instance that gives your custom ChunkProvider and BiomeProvider. Within the ChunkProvider you basically fire all the other stuff which can include custom BiomeDecorator and IWorldGenerator classes.

Thanks Jabelar, I will have to make and take some time to sit and really dig into this and investigate :D Some day I will get this done. Thanks for the tips and the guide, definitely going to be reading it.

    • Start by following the docs to get a workspace setup: https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/latest/gettingstarted/ Then poke around some of the tutorials, https://www.mcjty.eu/docs/1.20/ used to be the goto, but not sure if there are any updates for regular forge or not, but if you've brushed up on Java, it will be enough to get you started. Poke around the Minecraft and Forge sources to see how things are done. Read the FAQ for information on how to post code/logs when you run into issues. Share as much info on issues you have as possible. Use github to host projects, chances of someone helping are higher when they can actually see all your code and/or build it themselves. And finally, keep it on the forums, don't direct message people with questions, most people do not provide personal support like that. Also keep in mind forums posts are not always immediately answered, if you're looking for a quicker response, you can always try the Minecraft Forge discord server.
    • Hello, I have a Forge Minecraft sever (I host it at g-portal.com) which has always worked fine and I had no problems, but today it doesn't wanna work anymore. Today I started the server and the status said online, but after a few seconds it said this: "Start failed". And then out of nowhere it restarted itself and the same thing happened again and again and now it's in an infinite loop where it just keeps failing and then restarts. Here's the download link for the server logs: https://www.mediafire.com/file/sq30dgoonjevib1/2025-07-06-1.log/file Does anyone know how to fix this? If yes I would really appreciate help. Best wishes, Gabs1107
    • I'm experiencing a critical issue on a dedicated Arch Linux server running the latest Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. When a player exits a Nether portal (not enters, and not via /tp) or teleports into the End via portal, the server completely freezes for 1–10 minutes. During this time, all commands are unresponsive, and the game world essentially locks up. This is with watchdog disabled. Environment: OS: Arch Linux (latest packages) Java: OpenJDK 17 (up to date) Forge Version: Latest 1.20.1 (tested multiple versions from the past ~3 months) Mods: None (issue occurs on a clean install) Server Type: Proxmox VM with: 4 virtual cores 64 GB RAM (63 GB allocated via -Xmx and -Xms flags) Observed Behavior: Observed Behavior: The server freezes for 1–10 minutes when: Exiting a Nether portal (entering does not trigger the issue) Entering or exiting the End using a portal Teleporting using commands (e.g., /tp) works only for the Nether; teleporting to the End via command also causes a freeze The issue occurs anywhere in the world, not tied to specific coordinates or builds During the freeze: The server becomes completely unresponsive to all commands and player actions No crash reports, no errors, and no warnings are logged CPU usage remains under 50%, and RAM usage stays around 6–14 GB After 1–10 minutes, the server recovers automatically and resumes normal operation
