# How to Change World Type

By default, your Minecraft server will have a regular world type, but you may prefer a flat world for building.
### How to change world type

1. Open your browser and go to [https://panel.fps.ms](https://panel.fps.ms).
2. Select your server and go to **Files**
2. Search for and open the `server.properties` file.
3. Scroll down until you see the `level-type` option.
4. Replace the default type with any world type you would like (list provided below for ease).
5. Click on **Save Content** and restart your server to see the changes.

### List of all world types

- `minecraft:normal` - Standard world with hills, valleys, water, etc.
- `minecraft:flat` - A flat world with no features, can be modified with generator-settings.
- `minecraft:large_biomes` - Same as default but all biomes are larger.
- `minecraft:amplified` - Same as default but world-generation height limit is increased.
- `minecraft:single_biome_surface` - A buffet world which the entire overworld consists of one biome, can be modified with generator-settings.
- `buffet` - **Only for 1.15 or before**. Same as default unless generator-settings is set.
- `default_1_1` - **Only for 1.15 or before**. Same as default, but counted as a different world type.
- `customized` - **Only for 1.15 or before**. After 1.13, this value is no different than default, but in 1.12 and before, it could be used to create a completely custom world.
