Increasing the World Height

[Jimmeh]

Hi there! I'm trying to increase the normal overworld max height. I'm not sure how to go about this without using reflection to change this in DimensionType:

protected static final DimensionType DEFAULT_OVERWORLD = create(OptionalLong.empty(), true, false, false, true, 1.0D, false, false, true, false, true, -64, 384, 384, BlockTags.INFINIBURN_OVERWORLD, OVERWORLD_EFFECTS, 0.0F);

Would that be the recommended way to accomplish this? Or is there some data file in the world folder that I should change?

Any help is appreciated!

The simple answer is you don't do like that.

Modifying the default world generation in random ways will likely just cause conflicts with other mods that are using the proper mechanisms to change the data.

 

If you want a custom overworld you either use a DataPack to redefine the world gen https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Custom

or you can create your own world type (called WorldPresets in the code, similar to how superflat or large biomes are chosen at world creation), you can also do this with datapacks: https://misode.github.io/worldgen/world-preset/
