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. The Nether has an area of 280×280 blocks, a ratio of 1:3 to the Overworld, and a wall of bedrock at 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, Ocean monuments, and Woodland mansions will attempt to generate in classic than other world types.

Availability
Classic worlds are the only world type available on the Xbox 360 Edition, the PlayStation 3 Edition, the PlayStation Vita Edition, and the Wii U Edition. The Xbox One Edition, PlayStation 4 Edition, and Nintendo Switch Edition have additional world types that a Classic sized world can be expanded into. These are Small, Medium, and Large, although Large is unavailable on the Nintendo Switch Edition.
