  • Template:Nbt: The total height in which blocks can exist within this dimension. Must be between 16 and 4064 and be a multiple of 16. The maximum building height = min_y + height - 1, which cannot be greater than 2031.
  • Template:Nbt: A block tag with #. Fires on these blocks burns infinitely.
