I just came to think that since the world is... i think 32million by 32million but is only 256 high, i think the game should be MUCH deeper, like i think its about 62 deep (stone) why not deeper? i just think it's too easy to get to bedrock. and maybe there should be a stronger stone, like one that would take longer to mine and require like an iron pickaxe to harvest. what do you think?

Y axis used to be only 128. It would be conceivable that the Y axis could be better utilized if they moved to a cubic chunks format so that not every block in the entire Y axis of a chunk needed to be loaded.
I'm not against more depth in the terrain, but not sure what value it might add. Would definitely need to be some serious planning and new content added to justify doing so in my opinion.

I do agree, as someone whos been playing Minecraft since the Alpha stages, it has gotten underwhelming to reach the bottom now. However it would take a lot of memory to increase the depth, much more then just increasing the height (since all the blocks will be classified as Air). Eventually we'll get an upgrade but I wouldn't hold out on it anytime soon.
The Cubic Chunks mod increased the maximum world height to 655504 while at the same time improving performance for most people. Unfortunately it has not been updated in a while and only supports up to Minecraft version 1.8.1.
True.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
So my idea wasn't so horrible?
