Thank you Notch for making it easy to change the height limit, now we can have the most epic mountains and deep oceans, I have been waiting for this for a LONG time.

Seed is in the screenshots.

Dude that's ****ing awesome. Is there a max height limit at all? Could we hypothetically make a world with a height of 512?

I need to change my pants...

here is the mod, it's 1 simple class file, :biggrin.gif:

I tried the 512 version, and my minecraft wouldn't boot up. Only the 256 version seems to work for now.

It looks pretty sweet. How is the cpu usage and fps compared while doing this compared to the normal height limit?

Not as bad as I thought it would be, it is very playable (at least for me) I am guessing it just depends on your system,

looks promising, except your memory usage bar all red...

The world was still generating when I took that screenshot, it honestly isn't that bad. try it yourself.

I thought the FPS drop would be huge, but nope.

I used the 1024 from the link you gave. It loaded very, very slowly and it lags in game but it looks absolutely amazing, besides a few odd errors with chunk borders.

Does it generate minerals as abundantly as the normal map or does it generate the same amount it would in a normal world and just spread em out?

Also how does the generation work for seeds? Completely different map or a stretched map of what it would normally be?

That... is epic.
to you!

What happens to the ore veins? Does one still need to dig deeper to get the shinies?

Ive been testing it in creative and it looks like ore still spawns the same as the default height.

Edit: Someone on reddit tested it, and it seems diamonds spawn higher up now. All the way up to 32+. I am guessing the spawning of ores is relative to the map size.

This is awesome.

Ore placement is definitely changed. Finding abundances of iron at y=100 or so

Also, some eye candy for you all:

mother. of. god.

Is it possible to use this on Bukkit Servers?

Yes it is.

I have to try later, at the moment even generating normal chunks cause my minecraft to keep crashing.

Pretty awesome! Tried it out, only complaint I have is that it seemed to break swamps by flooding them .-.

Yeah, most of the swamps now seem to be flooded in water. I was exploring my world via map on a boat and came across a patch of swamp water.

Also, most of the caves seem to come to dead ends without going very deep.
