How do I create an empty minecraft world?

My friends and I want to create an adventure map, so I want to have a empty Minecraft Craftbukkit server map to start with, so there will be nothing other than the things I want to put into the map. How can I achieve this?

With bukkit there are plugins that change the world generation to make the world flat, for example:

You can also search for different types of world generators.

Note: I have not tried either of them.

I would have to say that you just go into the server.properties file and edit it to be super-flat instead of default. The drawback to that is that you will not be able to go underground since it is only 3 blocks away from the 1 layer of bedrock.

What do you mean empty? They're all empty. If you mean flat or featureless, all you can do, in the unlikely event of finding a seed that would create a world like that, is create one as normal, play it, fly around for a good while in all directions to get chunks generated, then use MCEdit to flatten it. But new chunks will always be generated as normal.

You can use MCEdit to create a world and create chunks in it that are empty except for a layer of bedrock.

Make a superflat world out of air blocks. Make sure you have villages on, and you have an (almost) emtpy world.

You know, I was wondering the exact same thing. I figured out if you make superflat just one layer of tnt then ignite it, it will blow up everything. BUT be sure you put a piece of bedrock down first. Also the server may crash or get really laggy. But you can also use World Edit to clear out the world.

make a superflat world with only one layer of sand. The moment you put a block down, the sand will fall into the void leaving just the block you placed.

Set generator-settings=1;0;1 and level-type=FLAT and gamemode=1 in the server.properties. Note this would will have no blocks at all. As you are in creative mode fly to y: 0 (press F3 to see coords). Note: You will start dropping quickly so be ready. Install the WorldEdit plugin from bukkit plugins and type //pos1 then move a little and type //pos2 and //set stone or whatever block you want.

In later versions, you could use /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone and not have to install WorldEdit.

Judging from the DemonicMushy's comment on his question, I think he means a map with no blocks at all. Try looking for maps such as this one and importing them into multiplayer. 3000x3000 blocks of void. Of course, if you meant a map that isn't void, use the superflat world option when creating a singleplayer world and import it to multiplayer to build together.

Download the map "SKY BLOCK" and clear it all out. There's only 30 blocks or so and then the map is completely empty.
