is there a way to make a flatland map?

Go into your config file and open it with notepad.
Paste the following.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: mg_flags = trees, caves, flat

Then allow it to generate.

You are doing something wrong.

but i'm doing what was said here

Are you sure you are editing `minetest.conf' and not `minetest.conf.example'?
Also, check that there's no '#' in front of the mg_flags line.

there's 2 conf?

Nope. One is the real conf, the other is an example file.

Also make sure that you generate a new map after adding it.

i'm royally confused now i see one that says minetest but doesn't have the same things the example has...
Edit: nvm i figured it out i was using the example xD sorry for the confusion

I did exactly as said and still it didnt work. I was in .conf, not the example, I generated a new map after I added the lines and there was no # sign. should I have added the line at the top of the config? I added it to the bottom, or does it even matter where you add the line.

edit: I get this error:
16:53:01: ACTION[main]: World at [C:\Users\CC-JAR\Desktop\games\pc\minetest\bin\..\worlds\flattest]

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: minetest.register_on_mapgen_init(function(mgparams) minetest.set_mapgen_params({mgname="singlenode"}) end) minetest.register_on_generated(function(minp, maxp, seed) -- local t1 = os.clock() if minp.y > 1 then return end local vm, emin, emax = minetest.get_mapgen_object("voxelmanip") local a = VoxelArea:new{ MinEdge={x=emin.x, y=emin.y, z=emin.z}, MaxEdge={x=emax.x, y=emax.y, z=emax.z}, } local data = vm:get_data() local c_water = minetest.get_content_id("default:water_source") local sidelen = maxp.x - minp.x + 1 local ni = 1 for z = minp.z, maxp.z do for y = minp.y, maxp.y do for x = minp.x, maxp.x do if y < 1 then local vi = a:index(x, y, z) data[vi] = c_water end ni = ni + 1 end end end vm:set_data(data) vm:calc_lighting( {x=minp.x-16, y=minp.y, z=minp.z-16}, {x=maxp.x+16, y=maxp.y, z=maxp.z+16} ) vm:write_to_map(data) -- print(string.format("[unternull] building water: elapsed time: %.2fms", (os.clock() - t1) * 1000)) end)

That creates a flat map with only one type of node (in this case water). No mg_flags needed. Only works in one of the latest builds.
