As awesome as this looks, I'd really like to find one that simply doubles the height but keeps the see level at 64 and terrain generation the same as vanilla. I'm pretty happy with the new mountain biomes but I'd like to be able to build significant structures on top of them.
Well with the 256 you get twice the height to build on, meaning structures can be about 120+ blocks high, this is huge already. Also with the 512 version, it goes even higher.
Having a deeper underground to explore seems cooler too...
What happens to the ore veins? Does one still need to dig deeper to get the shinies?
Ive been testing it in creative and it looks like ore still spawns the same as the default height.
Edit: Someone on reddit tested it, and it seems diamonds spawn higher up now. All the way up to 32+. I am guessing the spawning of ores is relative to the map size.
Thank you Notch for making it easy to change the height limit, now we can have the most epic mountains and deep oceans, I have been waiting for this for a LONG time.

The world was still generating when I took that screenshot, it honestly isn't that bad. try it yourself.
I thought the FPS drop would be huge, but nope.

Not as bad as I thought it would be, it is very playable (at least for me) I am guessing it just depends on your system,

I tried the 512 version, and my minecraft wouldn't boot up. Only the 256 version seems to work for now.
