I wish we could mod the max map depth and height.

We would have such awesome mountains......

Oh yeah, and giant ass things.

I still have 17 pages of help.

Duh, CAN we somehow mod the map height?

Not exactly modding the total height, but would it be possible to lower the sea level? This would give us more space above ground for making huge, tall structures, but less space for mining and digging underground. I think sea level is somewhere roughly between the maximum height and maximum depth by default.

Note: I doubt there's a straightforward way of accomplishing this, but you may be able to do something hacky. Also, it wouldn't hurt to ask about this on the official Minecraft forums.

Mod the map height: No, no, definitely not. It would require an almost fundamental rewrite of the client and server.
Lower sea level: You can do this locally by asking one of the worldedit people to do a drain and then a fill at a lower level. There is a mod that can modify the world gen parameters but it is for an older version of the server and has not been updated. Using it would require everyone to downgrade their client and me to find an old version of the server (which would be near impossible).

Yeah... Nahhhhh, too much work...

i wish i would stop getting banned for no reason

We need a server roll back stat, I was helping alpha gamer and then did something dumb and probly ruined his house on a big wtf moment...

i've been banned 4 times and then unbanned wtf so much corruption T_T

I understand why you took my admin away and I'm sorry for screwing up alphas place. I think I'm taking a break from minecraft indefinitey. Thanks for the fun everyone.

Doublepostninja.
We're not trying to kick you off, and we've got backups to restore.

You mean other than the series of random things you did to my place, like the random sand sphere and the water level stuff?
Man, all I needed was one //wand for my floor.

I apologized and now I'm out of your hair. I know you arent kicking me off, but I really only have fun in multiplayer having access to cool features, and now that I've screwed myself out of them, it just won't be fun anymore for me. so best I leave rather than just whine about not having all the toys like some people do.

oh i see what you did there

There's quite a good reason, and it's that you complain, complain, complain about not being an admin and how you didn't damage anything (too much) and that the punishment was too harsh. If you don't think that damaging other people's stuff at all is not a good reason then you will have to just go by the reason that you keep complaining no matter how often we tell you to can it.
