The flat world generator builds a superflat preset — the world where instead of mountains and caves you get a level surface made of the layers you define.
Every layer is a block plus its thickness. There is plenty to pick from: the library holds over two hundred blocks, and you set the stacking order yourself, bottom to top.
Then choose the biome — Plains, Desert, Mushroom Fields, Deep Dark and dozens more. The biome decides the grass colour, the weather and which mobs spawn in your flat world.
The finished string comes out in two formats at once, modern and legacy. The difference matters: current Java reads only the layers from a preset, while villages, mineshafts and strongholds go in through the legacy format alone. Copy the one that fits your version and paste it when creating the world.
