World Height - more room underground?

[RogueHydra 32]

Since the new world height has been raised, is it easy or even possible to raise the ocean/surface level so you can have a deeper underground? In vanilla I always thought that the trip to bedrock was way too short. And honestly, even some of my larger constructions don't even reach the maximum world height limit.

I really want to do this and have explored it in the past but my experimentations have always ended in utter failure. I'm sure I'll figure it out one day!

If you figure it out, I'd suggest you cut the difference, and have a slightly higher, slightly deeper world.

They extended the world height.... awkwardly.. its technically two chunk sets on top of each other, this makes extending the worlds a bit more complicated

Yes it's terribly annoying. Dunkleosteus is looking at it but he has been htting the same roadblocks as me. We'll see.

Would really like too see a deeper subterranean playingfield, this mod isn't really about building things above the clouds, imo of course... Maybe it can be an option for world generation if you discover it is possible? That way the mod might be more compatible rather than if the core choice is the altered height...

That sucks. I do hope it can be figured out though. If possible, mountain generation above 128 would be SO awesome.

Well that certainly shed some light as to why I hadn't seen anyone do that before lol. When they doubled the height of the world that was the first thing I wanted to see was a mod that raises ocean level. I didn't realize that the chunks didn't double in height, just 2 chunks stacked up. That seems frustrating.

on the minecraft wiki there is a mod that makes the woulds huge. if you like i can get the link to it?

i dont know if the world generation is all that is has to do with it, might be ore generation as well. also i dont think it creates the same kind of world

I wasn't initially suggesting a bigger world, just moving sea level up so there was more underground vs surface room since I don't even use 50% of the surface. I guess I'm a natural dwarf builder since I like to build into mountains, not on them

you and me both it's a waste of resorces building a house when you can just make a cave into a house.

I'm nobody to tell you what to do, but even then...

I think this is kind of unexplored territory right now. Why don't you focus on other assets more easy to fix first, and let other mods do the rocket science until it's more clear how the thing works and how it can be modified? I'm confident we wont miss that extra room if we get other things to keep us busy. Agriculture? Pottery? Basic chemistry?

Anyone new to this thread: The height for the Pre-Beta 2 has been increased to 145, but at the moment there are problems with it. See the thread about the unfair cave generation in the suggestions to see what I mean.

[RogueHydra 32]

And he is working on other things as well. He seems to have things planned out to develop in sections. Don't worry about it.

[NegiMagica209 2]

Hmm I wonder what he'll do to better dungeons, strongholds and abandoned mines if he's keeping them?

This thread has gone a little off topic from a suggestion and the new world height is implemented.
