Minecraft – Increase probability of lava lakes spawning in a superflat world

minecraft-java-edition

So, I'm making a nether map that involves the use of superflat world presets. The ground is completely netherrack, and there are lava lakes spread across the map. I'm running into a problem though, the lava lakes don't spawn often enough for me and I want them to be more common. Here's the base preset I'm working off.

2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake

Now, this just creates a superflat world with lava lakes here and there, not that common. Now, here are a few things I tried to make lava lakes more common.

2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake(chance=100)
2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake(size=10 distance=0)

None of these seemed to increase the probability of a lava lake spawning. So, how can I increase the probability of lava lakes spawning?

I would suggest using a later snapshot (at least 14w21b I believe), as it has lots more world generation options. It allows you to change almost anything about generation, so you could create a whole overworld that is nether themed.
