And that's the other aspect of this tool.

Also, the system doesn't allow for generating new chunks with varying terrain height, but it does allow for void world's to be created. If you remove the add-on, all of the chunks will render how they did before. This means that if you add it to an existing world with chunks that exist, any blocks outside of the new build limits will be visually missing, making the game run quicker as there's less data to load per chunk. The feature is designed to limit the build height of existing chunks, rather than affecting world generation directly. There are some substantial limitations to this feature however. This means it’s possible to have overworlds with a build limit of 1024 blocks which is a substantial increase over the current 384. Adding in files for The Nether and The End just throws up errors in the game but we’ll no doubt get access to those further down the line.īy following the instructions on the official Microsoft documentation for data driven overworld height (linked below), you can use this feature to make a complete void world or to change the generated build limit of existing worlds between -512 and 512 on the Y-Axis. However, it currently only allows for the Overworld dimension to be added and edited. The new feature, which doesn’t require any experimental features to be toggled, introduces dimension files into the behavior pack section of add-ons which until now, didn’t exist. This feature, intended for use by Minecraft Marketplace Partners and add-on creators, is intended to allow the creator to extend or limit the build heights of the Overworld dimension in order to optimize the game. In Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.18.30, Mojang silently released an incredibly powerful new feature into the game. A feature that didn’t get mentioned in any of their recent Minecraft Bedrock change logs brings dimension settings and build height options to Minecraft Bedrock Edition add-ons.ĭo you wish you could build on the Nether roof in Bedrock edition like they do on JAVA edition? Well now we’re officially one step closer to being able to do that.
