However, one can generate two worlds with the same structure through the use of [[Custom Rules|custom rules]], if the same seed is used to generate both worlds.

All | All 1x worlds are 16,384 [[:Category:Block|blocks]] in circumference and roughly 1024 [[:Category:Block|blocks]] from [[magma]] to [[space]]. 1/16x, 1/4x, 4x, and 16x worlds are respectively 1024, 4096, 65,536, and 262,144 blocks in circumference. 16x worlds can only be created though [[server]]s. Sea level is roughly 512 blocks from space and 512 blocks from magma. As the height of magma will vary, the distance from magma to sea level or space will also vary. | ||
The ability to create 4x and 16x worlds through servers was introduced in [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]]. The ability to create 1/16x and 1/4x worlds (as well as singleplayer 4x worlds) was introduced in [[Game updates/20151201|version 1.6.1]]. | |||

Below a certain point, the default background layer ceases to be air and becomes [[stone]], preventing any other block from displacing it. This background is present even if no solid blocks are anywhere above it, and usually is initially created where the overlying layers of [[dirt]] and [[sand]] stop and underlying stone begins. As such, this can be called the world's "bedrock." | Below a certain point, the default background layer ceases to be air and becomes [[stone]], preventing any other block from displacing it.
