How to delete terrain

@Aeventy’s method is complex and tedious. Why not just use the built-in terrain editor?

Use Search & Replace, located within the editor itself (Under “Edit”), to select the terrain you want to remove. Then, replace all the terrain with air. So much more simpler.

I imagine you’re currently using the Region tool- that tool is not useful as the area it can select is tiny (512 x 512 x 512). Search & Replace however can go up to 16384 x 16384 x 16384, which is the maximum terrain can be generated at.

When generating, take off some of the options, and make sure you don’t have Caves checked, that is the most annoying thing in the generation.

Caves do not affect the existence of the Bedrock layer.

I hope this helps you!
