Seeing as Minecraft is getting it's height limit increased by a long way, rendering in larger chunks could really slow performance of the game if there's that much more blocks to render.
If there was a slider (just like in the real game) that could alter how far you could see vertically, the game would use much less resources to work. People with good computers could slide it up all the way to the max, and people without the best specs could lower it to something like 4 chunks of vertical render distance, which would work in most instances.
This could be made using cubic chunks. If the chunks could be turned into cubes (16x16 cubic chunks - there already exists such a mod that allows the height limit to go up infinitely), there could be a smart feature implemented that if zero blocks of a chunk are visible, the cube could be simply unloaded, along with making the vertical render distance easier to implement.
We all know that Minecraft Java runs really badly compared to Minecraft Bedrock, where you could run 50 chunks without a problem. This could even enhance the performance of Minecraft.
Im Not suggesting making the height limit infinite, just that there was a mod that did that, although in theory it wouldn't be a problem with vertical render distance. It's a good idea to cap the height limit.
