This problem does not occur when ocean-floor is on false.

Yes, this is a known issue, but still valid. The issue is that the chunks that could encompass the island are not generate yet, and so to zero, all the chunks of the island would have to be created before the zeroing was done. Unfortunately, this would be excessive in terms of server drain. The only way I can think of to solve this is to mark all the potential generation blocks, e.g., coral, as having zero value.

I'll try and work out how to make the sea floor worth nothing...

[BONNe]

Maybe you could listen for chunk generation and if zeroing is enabled, increase island initial level?

Hmm, maybe. However, there is an edge case where the chunk could cover more than one island, if they abut each other.

One simple solution is to make the default underwater blocks worth 0.

[tastybento]

So, I tried this with the latest builds and I couldn't get Level to show anything other than zero as the level. This is with default settings.

I tried reseting a number of times, and trying different island types, but always zero.
I suspect there is something else going on. @tirangaming Do you have any different settings on your server maybe? Did you change the name of the AcidIsland world? Or do you have a short view distance that causes the chunks not to load?

[tirangaming]

My view distance is 29.
Now that you said about the chunks, I created a new island and I flew around the island to load the chunks.
I then calculated the level and surprise surprise the level was almost at 0.

The problem is unloaded chunks.
A normal player will not use 30 view distance and go around to load the chunks. The island area is 200x200.

Is there something that can be done about it or I should disable the floor?

[tastybento]

No need to disable the floor. Change the worlds section of blockconfig.yml file in Level data folder to as follows:

I changed it and was still finding blocks underwater like obsidian, stone, dirt, andesite, diorite, tuff. The level was only 10 but still not at zero, so I added those blocks in the config. Level went to zero after flying a little bit around but it still found some other blocks. Points until next level said 9 so still some blocks. I guess I will have to decide if I either remain with the floor or remove the level addon for good
