They changed the height of bedrock?

[–] erev@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

bedrock now spawns around Y=-60, give or take a few blocks

Why would they move the bottom of the world below 0 instead of just moving sea level upwards?

Compatibility with existing worlds

In early snapshots, they simply extended the build limit upwards like you suggested, so when people loaded their old worlds in they started complaining about kilometer-high walls generating in every direction

Why didn't they just move all the old stuff up?

[–] IHateReddit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

that would require moving every single thing up which would break a lot of stuff like mod/plugin data

That would lead to playering being able to accidentally mine themselves off a cliff and throw themselves into the void. You're not supposed to get under the bedrock.

Why didn't they just put more bedrock under the old stuff?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

That would probably cause a lot of lag and bugs
