Steps to Reproduce:
Open any world (any dimension).
Go to the maximum build height (e.g., Y=319 in the Overworld).
Try to place a block one block higher (e.g., Y=320).
Observed Results:
The game shows:
“Height limit for building is 320 blocks”
However, blocks cannot be placed at Y=320 (only up to Y=319).
This issue occurs in all dimensions (Overworld, Nether, The End, and custom dimensions).
On Java Edition, the maximum height message correctly matches the actual limit (e.g., 319 in the Overworld).
Expected Results:
The message should match the actual maximum block placement height (e.g., 319 instead of 320).
