Shattered World Limits
by fkjhdesflyg
Shattered World Limits removes the usual build and dig boundaries of Minecraft Java Edition, so players can go above the vanilla height limit and below bedrock.
What it does
The mod extends the height and depth limits that vanilla Minecraft sets for the world. Builders who have wanted to construct past the usual 256, 320 or 512 height markers can keep going upward, and the mod is described as allowing construction up to 1024 blocks high. Digging beyond the bedrock barrier is also possible, so the lower world can be reached.
Below the surface, the mod describes a deeper region down to Y -512 with new cave systems. The listed features include winding tunnels, large caverns, underground rivers and underground plants and creatures. The author presents these as additions that change exploration in survival and creative worlds alike.
Installation is needed on the server only, because the environment is server-side only and players can join without installing the mod. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21 only, with 0.0.1 as the latest release, published on 2025-01-09 under the MIT License. The source code is open source, and the mod is required by 1 other catalog mod, big obelisks.
