[worldname].worldconfig.txt REQUIRED This is the entry point of the world
flat.txt   This is the default world tile. It may have a different file name if worldconfig.txt says so. But in most cases, it is called flat.txt and contains the default terrain heightfield, terrain textures, etc.
preview.jpg   when opening or previewing a world, this is the image to be shown.
WorldInfo? .html   this is an mcml page describing the purpose of the world. It will be shown when previewing a world in some places. usually it contains author, copyright info, and world description.
