Chart lining up Y values to layers.
Altitude is commonly expressed as a number defining the distance in layers above the base of the game environment, which is Layer zero (0). Sea level is recognized as Layer 63, and the top of the game environment is Layer 127. Specifically, the bottom face of the bottommost bedrock block is at Y coordinate 0, and the top face of the highest block that can be placed is at Y coordinate 127. The player can press F3 to see what Y coordinate the player's eye is currently at, with the player's eye located 1.6 blocks above the layer the player is standing on. For example, a player standing on a shore of an ocean will see their Y coordinate as approximately 65.6.
自然资源与海拔高度
主世界的地貌随海拔高度改变,如下图所示:
注意对数比例:y轴上细微的变化意味着这种方块相对概率的巨变。
下表是有关资源的海拔及收集工具的原文描述:

- ↑ The range in which the block can be found in the map used for the graph.
- ↑ The layer where getting that resource is easiest. We consider the amount of lava/water lakes, the amount of caves, the altitude (and whether it is at the surface), and the amount of gravel/sand.
- ↑ 红石与钻石在相同的层生成,并且具有相同的线性统计特性,但是每个trunk生成8次而不是1次。
其他的在不同海拔出现的自然形成的地貌,比如草,木头,花,蘑菇,粘土,圆石,甘蔗和黑曜石,都是随机生成的,并且必须连同另外的方块在适当的环境中才会出现。
| 地貌 | 需求 |
|---|---|
| 草 | 泥土,光和草 |
| 甘蔗 | 泥土或沙子(到beta 1.8为止)和水 |
| 木头 | 泥土,光和一棵树苗 |
| 仙人掌 | 沙子 |
| 花 | 泥土和光 |
| 蘑菇 | 干燥的陆地和黑暗 |
| 粘土 | 沙子 |
| 黑曜石 | 岩浆源和水 |
| 圆石 | 岩浆和水或地牢 |
| 苔石 | 地牢 |

History
Template:Expand section
As of Beta 1.6, solid blocks cannot be placed on layer 127. However, beds can be placed on layer 127, making it possible to place beds at the highest possible altitude. This has also been proven to work with signs, torches and other transparent blocks. In 1.7, climbing to the top layer and jumping while carrying a block in your hand will result in the block turning black for a split second. Before the Beta 1.8 Pre-release 1, the maximum height a player could reach through the use of blocks is at layer 130 (stand on a block at layer 127, jump), you could still make a TNT cannon blasting the player upwards to go many layers past the sky level. Similarly, falling into the Void will have the player go many blocks under the lowest layer in the map. In 1.8 and after (Creative mode), one can simply fly above layer 128 to a high limit. They can also descend below bedrock, and if flying, they could be flying just below layer 0 (In the nether, this can also be achieved, as well as above layer 127). If the player's height is below -64, they start to get hurt and die. As of the 1.8 Pre-Release, the player's view distance decreases in lower altitudes.
Trivia
The darkening when standing on the last layer.
- The Beta 1.6 update made it impossible for players to place blocks on the uppermost layer of the map (Y-Coord 127).
- At extreme depths, black fog closes in, and a torch can no longer be seen from 11 blocks away.
- Climbing up to the 127th layer and jumping with a block in your hand will cause the block to momentarily turn black.
- Although the highest possible altitude the player can climb at normally is 131 (door glitch + jumping), a TNT cannon can blast the player many layers past the sky limit.
- Going under Y -64 in the Void will cause the player to receive damage very quickly, killing him. Also, this is the only known way to die in Creative mode.
- Beds, along with other transparent blocks (Signs, Torches) can be placed on the 127th layer. Also, if a door is placed 1 layer below the top of the map, its upper frame will pass the 127th mark.
- By placing a water source block on layer 128 using a Water Bucket on a solid block on layer 127, then placing a lava source block on the water using a Lava Bucket, both Cobblestone and Obsidian can be created on layer 128. The opposite (placing water on lava) works as well.
- When at the highest level of a map in Beta, the edges of the screen will fade to black, simulating thinning air.
- Notch on his twitter posted a pic showing his experimentation with higher height limits before the Adventure Update, showing a mountain much higher than normal mountains, but this feature is not present in Minecraft 1.0. Link
