Limiting Y level to 0?
Alright so i have a server running off 1.20.4 (soon 1.21) that alot of 1.8.8 players play on. Like --- 70% of our playerbase alot.
issue is that the 1.8 client cant render below y level 0. Everything else gameplay-wise works fine though.
My question is this: Is there going to be any significant impact on gameplay if we limit our y level to 0? I want the best of both worlds for 1.8 compatability but also gameplay for players on 1.20+

https://misode.github.io/ this site has a datapack generator that allows u to get it to old generation
but im not exactly sure how close it is
i got it working awhile back and the only issue was structures generating at y=0 but i fixed it
tbh force your players to play on newer versions
impossible
idk why anyone would wanna play on a 1.20+ server on 1.8
maybe start with https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/fulfilled-longing/

You miss the old world generation before the 1.17 this datapack will maybe satisfied that yearning. Fulfilled Longing is a datapack for try to recreate...
or at least copy the ore generation from it
What about making the 1.19+ players use ViaFabricPlus, then setting the server version to 1.8.8? I mean, your server has a ton of 1.8.8 players anyway.
(By the way, I do not support the piracy you are engaging in with laxdude)
a while ago i was trying to the exact same thing for a survival gamemode I was working on (since ofc I have the same constraint of 90% 1.8.8 players) and the most interesting thing I found was the exact default config for worldgen on 1.17.1 before they changed the generation heights. The issue is I believe they have changed the format of the world generation configs a bit since so you would have to manually convert I think, I never got that far though

if you end up finding a good solution to this please send because it would also be very helpful for me
I ended up deciding to not care cause it would ruin the world generation overall and make the gameplay worse for 1.20 players
would this not give a huge unfair advantage to 1.20 players since only they can access best mining y levels and they can have their entire bases in areas inaccessible to 1.8.8 players?
also what happens if a 1.8 player teleports to a 1.20 player who is like below y 0? do they just like fall out of the world or get softlocked or something?
ive taken these into consideration already
