Consists of

The void start platform is a feature of 33×33 square of stone with a single block of cobblestone in the center. One can generate at the origin of superflat worlds with "The Void" preset and single biome worlds if in the_void biome.‌

Generation

The void start platform spawns from block positions (-8, -61, -8) to (24, -61, 24), and thus the player spawns at Y=-60. This feature is most easily accessible through "The Void" preset but it still generates if different layers are specified, even if it gets engulfed. Void start platforms replace any blocks such as even bedrock when generated underground.

Construction

Void start platforms are large platforms made up of stone and cobblestone.
