The world generation and Height Limit

under review

So I have seen many suggestions about doubling the hight limit or adding the Cubic Chunks mod to Vanilla or something, but every time I see these suggestion, I always ask, "So how will the generation use these 256 blocks?"

The default max height for these mountains are around 150 in Java, and around 127 in Bedrock. The game is not even using the current hight limit effeciently. This is especially true in the nether, where the entire top half is completely wasted. Heck, every time players try to make the upper nether useful by making farms and such, the devs actively disrupt these attempts. If we raise the hight limit to 512 or above, these extra blocks will never be used unless you are a large scale builder or unless the devs stop wasting these areas.

So what should the generation be before we talk about raising the height limit? The answer is simple.Make the mountains higher. Make the peeks at least 240 blocks high. Fill these areas with something other than air.

    I like that idea. You see, it makes no sense for the build limit to be 320 blocks. 1 block=1m/3ft and the tallest mountains go to y: 265 (1.18.2) could and the ocean is at y:64 so it would seem more like a hill. Maybe you take damage after 55-85 seconds up at y:700-1200. If you wear iron or gold armor, it would extend to 100-150 seconds. Netherite would be 250-450 seconds and a new enchantment could be added: Space Protection I,II,III,IV could all be added to a maximum of 1000-1100 seconds. (This could be added as 1.19 or 1.20)

    also there could be "air chunks" with no blocks and they will load, when player places a block in them

    I wish there would be an update to release the height limit up to 1000 blocks above ground, as there are a lot of awesome and spectacular skyscrapers that I want to replicate in the minecraft, and I also wish there is an update in the future that with additional variants of rock and tiles that can be used for decoration of buildings and houses.

    They should just make the Cubic Chunks mod. it would remove the need to adjust the build height.

    I think mountains should generate up to 300 to 350 blocks, and there should be a biome in between the stony peaks and the jagged or frozen peaks, where it snows, but only above a Y level of 240 to have a better temperature gradient when it comes to mountains.

    This discussion has been going on for so many years, and the height limit and terrain generation still haven't changed at all. Let's not even talk about performance issues; as long as there's a clever method and good code, there won't be any performance problems. Please, official team, put this matter on the agenda.

    Me likes how you thinks!

    Mountains in Minecraft are rather weak if you ask me. They should be increased in height, & the height limit should be increased to maybe about five-hundred to four-hundred for structures that addons present spawning upon these mountains. It would put a kink in things if they simply could not generate.

    Develop cube system mechanism using disassembly and decompilation

    Mini World knows that using disassembly and decompilation to develop games can greatly reduce the workload and difficulty, but Mojang Studios still doesn’t know it! ! ! ! ! !
