Recently, I crashed upon opening a cabinet with an unstable item that crashes the game if seen. I loaded my Minecraft back up to reload the world to find that my world wasn't on the list. I used the only solution I knew and created a new world with the same name. Unfortunately, I forgot to change some of the world options such as the world-type and enabling cheats. My original world was superflat but now it's the normal generation when it loads new chunks. I need the world to be superflat to properly build on it. I've looked all over the internet for a solution such as NBTEdit and everything. It doesn't seem like that's compatible with Forge works like that. I can't seem to replicate the crash to configure the options again either. Do you guys know of any way to crash my world like that again? Is there any solution that you know of to change my world-type back to superflat and enable the cheats naturally? (I know you can open to LAN but the main problem is the world-type)
If you guys have any tips or solutions it would be much appreciated if you let me know. I need help desperately!
I'm not 100% I fully understand what you need here but I'm assuming this:
You have a built area leftover from the previous world, in a super flat state.
The new areas that were not genned before are not genning in super-flat style.
You want to keep what you have built, but do not want to keep the new, non-super flat sections.
1: Back up your world
2: Check that you backed up your world properly. 3 times. Until you're sure that you copied the entire folder.
3: Using ingame - coordinates and https://dinnerbone.com/minecraft/tools/coordinates/ determine what the edges of your super-flat area are, and delete any of the excess worldfiles (they will look like r.1.2.mca, r.1.3.mca, etc.) in your
4: Create a new superflat world ingame, name it whatever - ensure your settings are correct.
5: Copy the worldfiles out of the old save folder into the new one - the filepath will be identical except for the [worldname] section.
6: Load the new world you've just made - it should have the pre-built sections you copied, and now should generate only superflat terrain as you expand.
Potential issues I can see:
Deleting the worldfiles may not be as accurate as necessary - some chunks may be non-superflat but still within the range of the space you're keeping. I'd recommend something like worldedit or any other mod with the ability to forcibly regenerate a chunk - once the worldtype is set to superflat, regenerating it should have the desired flattening effect.
Errors during copying/weirdness with placement of chunks ingame could be caused by renaming the worldfiles. Do not do this. If you need to overwrite worldfiles already present in the new folder, DO SO.
Everything is dead and gone and now I'm sad: STEPS ONE AND TWO. THIS IS WHY WE BACK STUFF UP.

I will try this, but just to clarify, I was backing up. Not sure how, but the back-up still recognized the file as normal terrain and no cheats enabled though. Thanks though, I'll try what you recommended.
