Cannot place blocks on top of the Nether ceiling in Bedrock Edition

Hi Mojang team,

I'm a long-time Minecraft Bedrock player, and I’d like to report a missing feature that greatly affects gameplay and fairness compared to Java Edition.

Currently, it is not possible to place blocks on top of the Nether roof (the upper Bedrock layer) in Bedrock Edition — even in Survival mode using legitimate methods like Ender Pearl clipping or portal-based travel. This restricts advanced Nether transportation systems and mob farm designs that are very common in Java.

We understand Bedrock and Java have differences, but this feature has become a core part of high-level survival strategies, and its absence in Bedrock takes away a lot of creative freedom. Please consider enabling building on top of the Nether in Bedrock Survival, either officially or with an in-game toggle/option.

Thank you for your amazing work and constant updates!

Sincerely,

A passionate Bedrock player
