Overworld height increase
by SuperAnt_
Overworld height increase lets a world reach 2032 blocks above the bottom of the overworld, with the original -64 to 0 height range kept.
What it does
Installed as a datapack, the mod raises the overworld's build height by 2032 blocks and keeps the original -64 to 0 range intact, so existing terrain and structures stay where they are. It is a server-side change: the server needs it, while players may add it for the same effect in their own worlds. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0 as the single release, for 1.21.10 and the 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 range. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Taller overworld
Increases the overworld height by 2032 blocks, giving more room for vertical builds and mountains.
Original range preserved
The -64 to 0 height range is kept, so the lower world and its terrain are unchanged.
Datapack delivery
Ships as a small datapack, so it can be added without a separate mod loader setup.

How it compares
Higher Heights needs the server to run it, while clients may leave it out, and covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt 1.17 – 26.3, under the MIT License and not open source. Increased World Height has to run on both client and server, is for Fabric only, covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
Small datapack that increases the height of the overworld to 2032 blocks (stil keeping the -64 to 0 heights) Will not be loaded into the world with just /reload, you would need to rejoin a world with the datapack to apply changes.
