VoidChunkGenerator

Introduction

VoidChunkGenerator is a lightweight and highly configurable Minecraft plugin designed to generate pure void worlds. It is the perfect solution for server administrators who need completely empty worlds for lobbies, hubs, spawn areas, or minigames. The plugin allows you to generate absolutely nothing (pure void) or a very simple platform, while maintaining perfect chunk alignment and biome control.

An example of how it works

When a player joins a server with a void world generated by this plugin, they will spawn on a very simple platform. By default, this is just a single flat surface at Y=64 (e.g., made of
STONE with a
BEDROCK border) surrounded by pure void. The platform is generated with perfect chunk division, meaning every 16×16 block area lines up exactly with chunk boundaries, making it ideal for redstone and region planning. If the administrator disables the platform entirely, the player will fall into an endless void, relying entirely on the server's fall protection or teleportation mechanics.

Installation

Requirements

-
Minecraft: Versions 1.7.x, 26.1.x, 26.2, 26.3

-
Server platform: CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, or Purpur

-
Java: Version 25 or higher

-
Others: None (the plugin is self-contained)

Step by step

1.
Download the plugin:

• Download the latest version of the

.jar plugin file.

2.
Prepare the server:

• Make sure you have a working Minecraft game server based on CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, or Purpur.

3.
Place the file on the server:

• Open your Minecraft game server directory.
• Go to the

plugins directory.

• Copy the downloaded

.jar file to the plugins directory.

4.
Start the server:

• Start or restart the Minecraft game server to load the plugin.
• Check the server console to make sure the plugin was loaded without errors.

5.
Configuration (optional):

• After starting the server, find the

plugins/VoidChunkGenerator directory.

• Edit the

settings.ini configuration file to customize the biome, platform height, chunk radius, blocks, patterns, and fixed spawn coordinates to your individual needs.

Now you are ready to use the VoidChunkGenerator plugin. If you have any problems, check the support sections or contact us on Discord.

How to Create a Void World

Please note that
this plugin does not create or manage worlds — it only generates the chunks inside them. If you need a plugin to create, delete, or manage multiple worlds, you should use a dedicated world management plugin such as
Multiverse.

However, if you do not want to use additional plugins and just want to create a void world, you can do so by editing your
bukkit.yml file. Add the following lines to it:

Code (YAML):

worlds:

  world:

    generator
: VoidChunkGenerator

Explanation:

-
world: is the name of the world folder you want to generate (you can change it to whatever you want, e.g.,
void_world).

-
generator: VoidChunkGenerator tells the server to use our plugin to generate the terrain for this specific world. Keep in mind that the world itself must still be created/loaded by the server (or your world management plugin) for the generator to take effect.

Metrics (bStats)

This plugin uses
bStats.org to collect completely anonymous statistics. The data collected includes your Online mode, Minecraft Version, Server Software, Plugin Version, Core count, System architecture, Operating System, Server Location, Java Version, Biome, whether Platform is enabled, and whether Spawn is enabled. Collecting this data helps us better target specific server types and improve plugin features based on the technologies currently in use.

Please note that metrics are
enabled by default, but you can completely disable them at any time by changing the
enabled setting to
false in the
[metrics] section of your configuration file.
