I recently started playing a skyblock server and made a massive cactus and pumpkin farm. The only problem is I am not sure how many blocks that I l can load in order to keep my island as compact as possible.
I know a player loads a 16x16 chunk from x and z. How about on the y coordinate? How many blocks do I load going up and down in a 16x16 chunk?

I believe that in 1.16 it'll be changed as vertical biomes will be added, but right now: You know that it's a 16x16 area that you load, and you know that it's 256 on the y axis, so you can calculate an estimate of how many blocks are loaded in 1 chunk.
16 * 16 * 256 = 65.536 blocks loaded per chunk. That is: If we also count air-blocks being loaded in.
The averege height, depending on biome is most likely somewhere in-between 64-80 blocks, so if it's the lowest (At normal water leve (64)), then you'll be looking at:
16 * 16 * 64 = 16.384 blocks loaded per chunk.
Or with the highest averege of 80:
16 * 16 * 80 = 20.480 blocks loaded her chunk.
I hope this simple little equation can help you figure out the estimated amount of blocks that are loaded per chunk. You can only make a estimate, seeing as there are so many factors that play in over the answer to "how many blocks are loaded". The only "safe" answer is if you count air-blocks, because then it'll always just be the 16 * 16 * 256 equation.

I understand the equation. Thank you.
