World Configuration

Game worlds can be customized to a great extent. In single player this is done simply through the "Customize" button when creating a new world. If you however changed your mind or updated to a new version, many of these configs can be changed on existing worlds. Here is a full list of them - for other, non worldgen commands, check the list of server commands.

General usage

• /worldconfig name
  Show current configuration value
• /worldconfig name value
  Set a configuration value
• /worldconfigcreate datatype name value
  Creates a new configuration value. This is necessary when setting some configurations for the first time (datatype can be float double int string and bool)

Please note: Commands are case-sensitive. Type them exactly as you see, except for the [ ] shown in below command syntax, which is intended only to show which values can be changed! The pipe (|) symbol is there to seperate allowed values, e.g. [true|false] means you can set true or false here
