The height limit is still 256, I believe. There is a mod that uses cubic chunk loading to avoid this.

- Bpat 13y agoI'm 99% sure it is no longer limited. Notch and Co. added some code so that it can dynamically increase the height in an area allowing for taller builds.

- asdfs 13y agoI believe they changed it so that the height limit now depends on a single variable in the code, making it easy to build a copy of Minecraft with a different limit. Minecraft as distributed by Mojang still has a 256-block height limit, however.
