Important Warnings
⚠️ Read carefully before using this mod.
Always Configure Height Before Creating a World
For best results, set your desired height before generating a new world.
Never Change Height While a World Is Loaded
Changing dimension height settings while playing can cause serious issues.
Restart Minecraft After Changing Height
After using the command:
- Save and exit your world.
- Close Minecraft completely.
- Launch Minecraft again.
The new height settings will only apply correctly after a full restart.
Existing Worlds Are Not Compatible With Different Heights
Opening a world with a different configured height than the one it was created with may cause:
- Crashes
- Chunk errors
- World corruption
- Other unexpected issues
Creating a new world after changing height settings is strongly recommended.
Configuration
The mod stores all height settings in:
.minecraft/config/custom-world-height.json
Settings are automatically saved whenever a height value is changed.
How It Works
- The mod loads its configuration file during startup.
- Height values for each dimension are read from the config.
- The
/customworldheightcommand updates and saves these values. - Minecraft's dimension height calculations are overridden using Mixins.
- After restarting Minecraft, newly created worlds use the configured height limits.
Recommended Usage
- Install the mod.
- Launch Minecraft.
- Set your desired height using the command.
- Close Minecraft completely.
- Restart Minecraft.
- Create a new world.
- Enjoy your custom-sized dimensions.
Note
This mod modifies dimension height limits at a fundamental level. Following the setup instructions and warnings is essential to avoid compatibility and world-generation issues.
