Configure random world (RWG)
If you chose RWG as the map, you can further customize the world generation:
<property name="GameWorld" value="RWG"/>
<property name="WorldGenSeed" value="MySeed"/>
<property name="WorldGenSize" value="6144"/><property name="GameWorld" value="RWG"/>
<property name="WorldGenSeed" value="MySeed"/>
<property name="WorldGenSize" value="6144"/>| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
WorldGenSeed | The seed for world generation (any text) |
WorldGenSize | Map size: 6144, 8192 or 10240 |
Note
The larger the world, the more resources the server requires. A size of 6144 is recommended for most servers.
Warning
Changing the map does not delete the existing world. If you want to switch to a new random world, change the WorldGenSeed or delete the existing world folder under /Saves/.
