World Height

[Yukar9]

It's now possible to set the world height to 256, however not require (in fact I believe it's possible to set it to lower than 128, but haven't tried)

Discussions about whether to keep it at 128, or increase to the default 256 go here please.

OOOOHHH another interesting debate! Well this is a hard one..... well in my opinion jus make it 258 becuz than u can build giant ass castles in the sky, and people will have a tough time trying to find you. I vote to extend the height.........

I vote extend the height so that we can have this weekend's CTS at y = 200 or 250 :D

sounds fine but i'm confused is this a 1.2 thing and are there only the 2 options?

[FoSchnizzle]

As of 1.2, the world generation was changed so that the map now has a height of 256 blocks.

[Yukar9]

Actually as of 1.2 the world format has changed, allowing us to set any map height by just changing a single line in the server.properties -- we could actually set the height to anything, if we wanted that is. There aren't only two options, but from what I've been able to discover based on my experimentation it's anything divisible in 8, but I could be wrong. (still a lot of options)

128 was the fixed height pre-1.2
256 is the max height in 1.2

[FoSchnizzle]

Ummm, is it okay to suggest a max height of 8? ;) I say for a day, have a map with a height of 8, so that it's almost all just pvp, and very near superflat.

[Yukar9]

Well, that would destroy everything over y = 8, lol

But on a semi-related note, I've always wanted to do some tnt pvp, like make an entire map of just tnt top to bottom, and then give everybody a sword, sorta lika hillbreak from css
