      The bug

      When adding a datapack to modify the world height limits of any world that was previously loaded with the default height limits causes a crash. This also occurs when you load a world with the datapack, then disable it, and then attempt to re-enable it.

      This doesn't occur when you remove said datapack from a world that has been loaded using it, which leads me to believe this is a bug, and not intentional.

      How to reproduce

      1. Generate any world without using a datapack to change the world height limits
      2. Close out of the world and add the datapack
        The world will crash upon any attempt to load it

      or:

      1. Generate a world with the datapack
        → You will notice the world height limits are different (you will be able to build above y=256 and below y=0 with this specific datapack)
      2. Use /datapack disable to disable it
      3. Exit the world and then re-enter it
        → The world height limits will be reverted to default (any blocks you've placed above y=256 or below y=0 will be gone completely)
      4. Re-enable the datapack using /datapack enable
      5. Exit the world
        The world will crash upon any attempt to open it
