Hi all, I recently started a PM server (see www.luzid.nl) but I think something is going wrong. The world that is generated is only hills, trees and lakes. No animals, no mountains, no resources (coal etc.), no tunnels, nothing. I generated several worlds with different seed and generator options, but it's the same every time. Have I overlooked a setting somewhere? Any tips in how to get a 'normal' MC world on PM? Thanks! Björn
Pocketmine 1.4 and below generate worlds like that. Use the latest development build for better generation (considering MCPE is updating soon you should get used to it anyway!). EDIT: Also, mob AI hasn't been implemented yet, so they don't spawn in any current version. So... you may want to rethink the focus of your server as survival can get pretty boring without mobs
Thanks for your answer. I installed the development build but couldn't connect through IOS app (outdated client). Is it possible to get around that?
Unfortunately, I forgot to mention the development build will only allow clients using the MCPE 0.11.0 beta versions to connect, and only those running Android can install the beta. If you have another device that runs Android rather than iOS you can join the beta here using Google+ then install it through the Play Store: https://plus.google.com/112518133011799486490/posts Otherwise you'll have to wait for the version to go mainstream, so to speak EDIT: I've just been informed that the current STABLE build does in fact have ores. Maybe do more digging
You can ask shoghicp on the IRC channel if you want: https://forums.pocketmine.net/chat/ He made the thing haha, if you need questions answered he's your man. Good luck with your server
I just installed NotSoFlat and regenerated a world. Works well. I even saw some coal You need to set world type to notsoflat in server.properties for this. https://forums.pocketmine.net/plugins/notsoflat.385/field?field=documentation
Even better: Use the Minecraft Level Generator: https://sites.google.com/site/minecraftlandgenerator/ a 1000 x 1000 map works as long as I up the server memory to 1024MB (only tried with one user though). You get incredible maps with this program. via: http://www.reddit.com/r/MCPE/comments/2a2lmb/tip_use_pc_version_terrain_generation_with/
...and add a world border using one of the many new world border plugins so your players can't go into part of the world which hasn't been generated properly.
