TerrainBase and TerrainHeightLimit (for Custom Worlds)

Ever used a custom world, only to see ugly bedrock at the bottom of the ocean, or terrain that can't be built on because it's literally at the height limit? Well TerrainBase and TerrainHeightLimit have got you covered. TerrainBase will prevent empty space from generating below the specified value, replacing it with solid terrain. TerrainHeightLimit will prevent terrain from generating over the specified Y level, but decorations and structures will still generate above this level.

    I think a more intuitive way of implementing this would be a "ground level" setting and a "height variation" setting.

    Ground level would determine the average height of the terrain (63 by default in current release).

    Height variation would be an amplifier for hills and cave generation. Lowering this value would "squish" these features towards the ground level.

    How would this be more intuitive? DepthBaseSize and HeightStretch from 1.12.2 custom worlds already did this. What If I wanted a farlands world that only generated up to Y 128? That's the point of my suggestion.
