As Minecraft has gotten its full release I'm working on a server for the local scouting group. I'm a system administrator and developer and used to host HL2 servers.
While the Minecraft single-player client has an option to turn on (or off) buildings and structures, the Minecraft multiplayer server doesn't seem to have one?
Is there a way to turn this on?
Best Answer
A server-setting was added in 1.1 to control this. If your
server.propertiescontainsbefore you generate the world, and there will be no structures. The default is
true, so to turn it on instead you just leave that setting alone.An alternative answer that works for all versions:
The flag is stored within the world's
level.dat, meaning you can generate a world in single-player with structures disabled and then move it to your server. This works generally, and is the easiest way to do it prior to 1.1.
