Classic (world type)

Classic is a world type exclusive to the Console Edition.

Generation


Classic worlds generate finitely (due to the lack of infinite worlds in Console Edition), with an area of 864×864 blocks (less than 1 Map). An endless sea of water preceded by an invisible barrier surrounds the edge of the world.

Classic worlds are able to generate with any of the biomes (albeit at a reduced size) and generated structures available in the current version. More villages spawn in classic than other world types.

Availability
Classic worlds are the only world type available on the Xbox 360 Edition, the PlayStation 3 Edition, and Wii U Edition. The Xbox One Edition and the PlayStation 4 Edition have additional options, including Small, Medium, and Large world types that a Classic world size can be expanded into.
