    Warning: May cause lag, I highly recommend you to use Sodium or Optifine to improve the game's performance as the Chunks are taller.
    Fact: Don't worry, there's no incompatibility issues as it's a datapack and not a mod
    Fact: The world does not generate with the build height, meaning that the "Normal" preset will have it's common mountains, however, the build height it's there for you to build in it
    Fact:The true and total build limit goes from -2032 to 2032 (y axis)

    Description:

    We all know that after the update 1.18 the build limit changed to 384 blocks, sadly there's people like me that wanted to have a higher build limit, so we could recreate such things as really tall skyscrapers, that's why I've created this datapack, to help build higher without needing any mods.
    I've seen many other datapacks that aim to enlarge the build limit, but for what I've tried, none of them worked in 1.20.x, so i made this for myself and the community, so we can have a higher build limit without having to do the troubleshooting I had to do to make this datapack work

    Other datapack versions with different height increase can be found here!:

    Enjoy!!!!

    I'll read the comments if there's any bug (It shouldn't be but I'll read ya!)



    P.D: Yes, I´m a big fan of the Burj Khalifa

    Hi, do I need to install a new version of the datapack if I want to launch the world in a newer version?

    Good question!, I would think so, but it matters on the version you're updating from and updating to, because, from ~1.19 till now, dimension_type notation has't changed a lot, so it should work properly even if you leave the same 'old' datapack, but if you want to be 100% sure that nothing's gonna break, then please do update the datapack

    Remember to make backups please and tell me if it worked!

    Well, It doesn't go from -64, but it does increase the World Height to 4064 blocks (Overworld & End), just check the modrinth! Just have in mind that there are some faulty versions on 1.20 & 1.18 that i'll try to fix

    Well, sorry to bother you here, but I can't find your contact on modrinth ;). I found that I can't use this datapack on my 1.18.1 server. However, according to the log of the server, I noticed the source of problem: there is a '#' in "infiniburn": "#minecraft:infiniburn_overworld" and other json files have the same problem. According to the page on wiki: Java Edition 22w06a – Minecraft Wiki, only versions higher than this need '#' in the content above. After removing this '#' from your datapack, it works! So I'm writing here to offer this solution to you. Thanks for your consideration and your datapack! :D

    Hey i just tested to see if the other datapacks for 1.20.1 work and non of them want to verify. Do you know what is causing this?
