@SevenSidedDie just as soon as 41 minutes elapse, that is – SevenSidedDie 1 hour ago :-P

| Oct 4, 2013 at 14:49 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | I somehow thought the build limit had been much more expanded so that you could set it to 512, etc., but I am wrong! That's worth the bounty. :) … just as soon as 41 minutes elapse, that is. | |
| Oct 4, 2013 at 14:25 | comment | added | fredley | @Studoku I didn't know this, do you have a source on the negative numbers thing? | |
| Oct 4, 2013 at 13:27 | comment | added | Comic Sans Seraphim | It's for memory reasons. 256 is the highest value which can be stored in a single unsigned byte. The previous format was limited to 128 because it used a format which allowed negative numbers (though they were not used). | |

| Oct 4, 2013 at 4:11 | comment | added | s6th | I thought it was 271 for some reason. Are there any other significant values in minecraft that are 271 and I may have been confusing with the height limit? | |
| Oct 3, 2013 at 21:13 | comment | added | SaintWacko | @Zibbobz You are correct. The height limit used to be 128, but when Minecraft switched to the Anvil file format, the limit was increased to 256 | |
| Oct 3, 2013 at 15:41 | comment | added | Zibbobz | Hasn't a recent update increased that height limit? Or am I misremembering a spec? | |

Seconding tombull89: the build height can be twiddled with an NBT editor (I believe) or server.properties now.

| Apr 10, 2013 at 18:07 | comment | added | tombull89 | The link to the height mod is dead (and also obsolete). Are there any mods for 1.5/1.5.1? | |
