They need to update it to 256 like on PC. I got a modern city with empty spaces where I plan to build tall skyscrapers.
But when you truely think about it, on a normal world 256 is like more than double 128, as in how high you can go. Going from 129 to 256 is the same ammount as the whole height range from 0 to 128, and all avalable and not being ocupied by the ground. If you get what I mean. Basically, your towers can be much more than 2x as tall.
Ugh... I have a project needing a height of at least 470
Max height on PC is 256, so even if we do get the same increase the PC got at this stage in their development, it would not be sufficient for you... which just goes to show that no matter what a limit is, there will always be people who make their plans to exceed it. Solution - make more realistic plans.
Personally, I would like to see the map size increase before I see a change in the height cap.
Somebody recreated all of World of Warcraft and he made his own Mod(s), one requiring a world height of over 5,000 lol.
I am the opposite, as I would rather height over size... Since I am satisfied by the size of the xbox edtion, it is what makes it in a way different play style from the pc.
And wow.... that I don't think I could imagine building that high...O_O almost sounds like SC4 height there...lol

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.

I only want world size to increase for more areas and hopefully more biomes in the world. Maby youd want Pine Trees for your world but you don't have a Snow biome in it.
I wonder. . . since 4J delayed the release of jungle biomes (was originally annouced for TU7) if they are going to surprise us in TU10 with a larger map. It would accommodate the jungle without forcing a restart. And dont jungle trees need the higher world cap? hmm

4J didn't delay Jungles. They never said they were going to be in TU7. Also, the possibility of larger worlds is almost zero.
Jungle Trees do not need a higher height limit. They generate below Y:128. Nothing generates above 128, even if the height is raised.

Well that makes sense, although I tend to find a lot of maps with all biomes evenly distributed across the map or sometimes still having just enough of each biome that I want. Of course that means if bigger than means more time for me searching for a map rather than playing...>< spend enough time as is searching for what I am looking for...lol
True though that the possibility increases, however so does the opposite, since water maps are something I am not fond of, and snow maps aren't either. Although I like having a bit of snow just for at least a few spruce... The main reason i would have height over bigger is to build higher, especially with the mountains how they are...><

"What is the max build height in Xbox Edition for right now?"
I plan on creating a project that will require alot of height and i need to know if i have to mineout the area i need in order to do what i need.
It has since been increased to 256 on the PC in 1.2. Once or if the Xbox reaches that point, I assume it will match the PC.

As stated by Mustache_Guy 4 posts above yours, the max. height on the Xbox is at Y128 (or is 128 blocks).

it will probably never get that high... it is not even that high on the pc..--_--

So I explained that they didn't and that nothing generates above 128 even when the height limit is raised.

lol 128 X 2 = 256
