Minecraft plugin VoidGen

🔌 About VoidGen

VoidGen is a Minecraft plugin for creating custom void worlds using a lightweight, parameterised world generator. The project provides a generator name that server owners can use with world-management plugins to create or import empty/void-style worlds instead of allowing vanilla generation.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin solves the need for perfectly empty or minimal worlds (void worlds) for hubs, skyblock-style maps, redstone testing, or custom minigames by replacing standard world generation with a configurable void generator.

⚙️ Features

• Generates void-style worlds through a plugin-provided world generator.
• Supports generator parameters (used as VoidGen:<parameters> when creating/importing worlds).
• Integrates with world-management plugins by exposing a generator name rather than adding its own world-management commands.
• Distributed under GPL-3.0 (source available in the project's repository).

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server owners and administrators who need empty or minimal worlds for hubs, creative/redstone testing areas, skyblock, or minigames.
• Servers that use external world-management plugins to create and manage worlds.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Use your world manager to create a new world with -g VoidGen:PLAINS to get a void world with specified parameters.
• Import a preconfigured world and set its generator to the plugin's generator name so newly generated chunks remain empty.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the plugin JAR from the project's official distribution (resource/repository).
• Place the JAR in the server plugins/ directory.
• Restart the server and check the server console to confirm the plugin loaded.

📦 Integration with world managers

• When using a world-management plugin, provide the generator name as part of the create/import command. Example patterns shown by the project:
  • Create: /mv create <worldname> <env> -g VoidGen:<parameters> -t FLAT
  • Import: /mv import <worldname> <env> -g VoidGen:<parameters> -t FLAT
• The plugin also supports setting the generator in world configuration (for example, generator: VoidGen:<parameters> in a world file) when a world manager reads that value.

🧠 Technical Notes

• License: GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0).
• The project lists a native major Minecraft version of 1.13 and explicit tested versions from 1.8 through 1.18 in its official resource metadata and repository.
• The plugin provides its functionality as a world generator name rather than a replacement world manager; commands shown in the project's documentation are calls to third-party world-management plugins (e.g., Multiverse) that reference VoidGen:<parameters>.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you need a reliable generator that produces empty or minimal worlds and want to manage world creation via your existing world-management plugin, VoidGen provides a focused, configurable generator that integrates by exposing a generator name for those tools.
