Maycarios's Higher Build Limit
by Maycarios
Maycarios's Higher Build Limit raises the world height limit through a datapack that players add when they create a world, with three height options.
What it does
The datapack is installed when a world is created by dropping its zip file onto the datapack page of the world creation screen, or by placing the file in the datapack folder of an existing world's save directory. Three builds are offered at heights of 512, 1024 and 2032, so the choice can follow personal preference. The author recommends installing it on a new world, and warns that adding it to a world that already exists can corrupt that world, so a backup should be made first.
The datapack is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, across 13 release versions spanning 1.17 – 1.20.2. The server requires it and the client may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The author invites bug reports and mentions a page on Planet Minecraft as an additional source.
Key features
Three height options
Separate builds raise the build limit to 512, 1024 or 2032 blocks, so a world can use the height that suits it.
Installed through the world creation screen
The zip file is dropped onto the datapack page while a world is being created, which avoids editing save files by hand.
Datapack for existing worlds
The file can be placed in the datapack folder of a saved world, though the author advises a backup before doing so.
Planet Minecraft listing
The same file is also listed on a Planet Minecraft page, which the author names as a second source.
