How can i lock the same custom map in every new single world?
So, to be more precise, I want to create something like this:
-I want to enter the minecraft lobby and when I press the singleplayer and create a new world, the present map would be the same over and over like modpack such as crashlanding or skyblock.
I notice was well, if I create a chunk(s) in MCedit, and remove all the other and save the map, when I enter the save file, the game would keep the chunk i design but fill the void ones with random blocks, I wonder how can I recreate a world starting in the same spot over and over again but having certain chuncks every time I start a game and let MC fill the empty ones, adding the same custom base every time but give the random terrain of the empty chunks recreated by MC.
I would be grateful if I could have some hints/help on what to do on config files or mods that can make what I want!

What you're looking for is the world seed. In simple terms, the seed is a number that tells the game how to generate the terrain.
You have 2 options to create a world with a particular seed:
- Find the seed of the map you want to recreate (press F3 for debug information in-game, or use various tools to recover the seed). Create a new world, and enter this seed under "More World Options"
- Select a world from the single-player menu and click "Re-Create" to automatically make a new world with the same seed.

How do you lock a map in Minecraft?
Maps can be locked when using a glass pane in a cartography table. This creates a new map containing the same data and locks it. All copies of this new map are also locked. A locked map never changes, even when the depicted terrain changes.How do you copy a map in Minecraft?

If you want to control world generation mechanics you need to write your own mod that adds your preference and logic to a "world type" and then the world has to be generated using it.
For further information about how others have done this you can look at:
- Underground BiomeConstructs
- Highlands
- BWG4
- Enhanced Biomes
- Biomes O Plenty
- And more, I'm sure you can find them.
