World-Specific Settings

Override global settings for specific worlds:

worlds:

    terrain:
      base_height: 80
      advanced:
        max_variation: 25
    generators:
      plains:
        vegetation:
          tree_chance: 0.01

Any setting can be overridden per world. Settings not specified use global defaults.

Tips

• Reload config without restarting: /bg reload

• View current settings: /bg info

• Lower vegetation chances = more sparse, higher = more dense

• Increase max_variation for dramatic terrain

• Disable specific features by setting enabled: false
