Is it just me, or is the raised height cap the most exciting thing to happen in Minecraft to date?

Everyone is understandably happy about the new changes to Minecraft, but I haven't heard anyone talk about the DOUBLED height max. Previously I have heard all the epic builders lamenting about what they had to change in there creative vision to comply with the height limit of Minecraft. I have personally had this problem with every large project I've worked on.

Enough with that, now I would like to make a brief statement about how peoples minds are going to be blown. Not just by the usual suspects (eg. Inhaze, BlockFortress, etc), but by your average builder. I personally can't wait for the upcoming MCEdit update by TkTech which will allow me to do what I do. I'm not looking for comments praising my insight, I'm just looking for like minded people to share what they intend to do with the raised height cap, for example Floating cities above sea level cities, or super skyscrapers. Let me know what you are dreaming about doing with the freedom of the new dimensions.

Just used unstable version of MCEdit found here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/13807-mcedit-minecraft-world-editor-compatible-with-mc-beta-18/page__st__5780

It's not just you. For builders, this is the most significant thing since colored wool.

Heck yes, I was just wishing a couple days ago that 1.2 would hurry up and get here so I could use the extra height on a project. Now I just gotta wait for all my mods + bukkit + voxelsniper to update. :(

..and yeah, I agree with Circeight, upside down stairs are gonna be amazing.

I agree. This is by far my favorite update. I also care a lot about the upside-down stairs, but it doesn't compare to the doubled height limit. I have planned to build my next project (my final project in my one giant project project) in the new height limit.

This is the most creative-based update so far I think besides the alpha stuff. We need more creative content because think about it, that's what made this game so popular is the amazing creations we all create day in and day out.
