    It's not easy to do this, for optimization reasons. However, what I always thought would be the better solution was to add Vertical Y-Chunks whenever necessary to have an effectively infinite height limit when building above y256, but keeping the rest of the world at a default y256.

    Also, when updating old worlds to the new cave update, it would have to expand the y-axis DOWNWARDS to accommodate the new generation, instead of upwards. So that the floor stays at the same level, but the caves get deeper.

    I think they should expand it further down so in the minus levels you can find things like Wardens, loot boxes and other stuff like diamonds

    Maybe more like 600-800

    Maybe not that large but a larger number would be good. Think of the cave update. There'd be extra areas to explore! If minecraft can save chunks infinitely, I don't see why the y axis can't be larger!
