Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

A: How do I increase the height of my world? This is one of the things that datapacks are designed for, a standard feature in vanilla Minecraft. You can either download an existing datapack from a site like Modrinth, or you can write your own. A datapack is stored inside the folder for each world, so it only applies to one world at a time. If y... (more) |

| Question | — |
How do I increase the height of my world? I have a world that I made a few years ago. I've built a lot in it, but realized that I've hit a stopblock. I need more vertical space. Can I somehow increase the build height limits, both below and above my world? (more) |

> "the hero gets magically saved", then your fictional world is pointless and nobody would want to hear stories about it.
Not necessarily, no. See _One Punch Man_. He’s pretty much invincible, and can accomplish victory in every battle of power. The world he lives in can still be explored, and the... (more) |

The useful part of a WorldBuilding community is that it can cover topics that go beyond science. It can cover defining and laying out different kind of universes, with different ground rules than ours. Fantasy universes, for instance. (more) |

When you break it down this much, would all these sub-questions not be on-topic on [Scientific Speculation](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com)?
What would then be the point of the WorldBuilding site?
Clearly, that site should perhaps take other kind of questions, then. But which? Shoul... (more) |

Voting is our content ranking mechanism. It is an integral part of the Q/A system, and you can't simply state that they don't apply. Even if you personally don't care about the votes on your post here, others do. The system does, too.

Supporting the creation of a community is not the same as participating in it after creation, nor the same as participating in it before creation. You can help shape a community, while continuously not wanting it. For example, Olin may think that the Worldbuilding proposal itself, is bad, low quality... (more) |

@#85389 Do be aware that your personal vision of what you want the Worldbuilding community to look like, might not align with the goals of Codidact, and cannot be implemented in practice, here. That does not mean we are opposed to a worldbuilding community, or want to hinder the creation of one. (more) |

Codidact is using the Q/A format because we seek a certain level of quality. When you propose a new community, and contribute Q/A to that, people around here will expect that it suits the Q/A format, and has at least a minimum of what they consider quality. This is why your "most influential anime" q... (more) |

Well, this meta Q/A will be read by even fewer than the proposal post will be read by. I went through every community tag in here, yesterday, and added a link back to their proposal posts. Should help with the flow.

A: Change biome for entire world One suboptimal solution is World Edit. I selected an area of 82,000,000+ blocks with World Edit, then used `//setbiome`. Unexpectedly, this actually did work. WE can usually handle only a maximum between 3-4 million blocks at once. The game continued on running, but the internal server stopped res... (more) |

No, it isn't. The "star-wars" tag, for instance, isn't on the community proposal description for Video Games or Movies.

Asking for the existence of such a list, isn't so useful as asking where that list actually is. In other words, either type of question will generate the same answer.

Thanks, I'll check it out. That certainly sounds like a helpful tip to me, personally, but I'm unsure if it could help land a conclusion on the question here, unless we'd allow link-only answers for a few exceptions, or questions asking where on the internet to find some information. (more) |
