World with only hills, trees and lakes

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 I installed the development build but couldn't connect through IOS app (outdated client).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

Ah well then I'll wait I guess. Do you know if there's an ETA for the release?
Thanks.

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.

Even better: Use the Minecraft Level Generator:

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.

Lol. Ok.

Or you can get a pregenerated world, load all the chunks, and upload it on your server.... lel

...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.

You can always install a PC map it must be leveldb

PC map = anvil
old PC map = mcregion
PE map = leveldb
