Overview

The Default World Type mod is a specialized utility designed for modpack creators and server administrators. Its primary function is to override the default world generation setting in the "Create New World" menu. In standard Minecraft, the world type defaults to "Default." This mod allows the selection to be locked or defaulted to any other available type, such as Superflat, Large Biomes, Amplified, or types introduced by external mods like Biomes O' Plenty or Oh The Biomes You'll Go.

By automating the world type selection, the mod ensures that players experience the intended environment of a modpack without needing to manually adjust settings, which is particularly useful for skyblock, wasteland, or highly customized exploration packs.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the config file to set my default world type?
The config file is located in your `.minecraft/config` folder and is named something like `defaultworldtype.toml` or similar (depending on your mod version). Open it with any text editor to edit the world type setting.
How do I find the correct world type ID to put in the config?
The world type ID is usually shown in the world creation screen—hover over or look at the name of the world type you want to use. For modded world types like Skyblock, check the mod's documentation or config files; it's often formatted like `modname-worldtypename` (e.g., `botania-skyblock`).
Will this mod work on a multiplayer server?
No, this mod is client-side only, so it only affects world creation on your own computer. Server-side world type settings are controlled by the server itself, not by this mod.
What happens if I type in a world type ID that doesn't exist?
The mod will likely fall back to the vanilla default world type (usually 'default' or 'normal') if the ID is not recognized. Check your config and the correct ID for the mod you're using.
