Thanks for your kind words. Yes, in 1.17 beta Mojang allowed higher heights and greater depths, but then removed that functionality for the release. [The page on 1.17](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_1.17) says "increased...

Aha, I see, there's min_y and height in https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_dimension. Up until today I didn't know data packs even existed! Anyway, interesting feature, but Mineways certainly doesn't support data packs at...
