I’ve had many hundreds of hours of Minecraft these past few years but… What’s layer 4?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Y-level. Before 1.18 the top layer containing bedrock (ETA: in the overworld) was y=4.

Technically, the top layer bedrock can spawn at is either y=128(the nether roof) or the top of the obsidian towers in the main end island

They changed the height of bedrock?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week 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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That would probably cause a lot of lag and bugs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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