    I have been expanding my island mostly vertically but I’m now moving out horizontally as well. I just discovered that I have a neighbor. It looks like a new island that no one is working (fine with me, I don’t want neighbors). But I got to wondering, what is etiquette with regard to neighbors? How wide can your island be before your moving into someone else’s space?
    Anyway, just wondering if there are limits on island size.[​IMG]

    49 blocks from any direction away from your bedrock. Anything past that will get destroyed.

    49 in any horizontal direction you can build from layer 0 to the top of the world just fine

    I understand 49 blocks left to right and up and down from the bedrock, but how does that effect the in between the 4 outer points?

    Just to clarify:

    49 blocks in each direction North, East, South and West.
    You can expand above and below your bedrock as you wish. (0-256)

    The dimensions of a safe island is 99x99x256 so you have a total volume of 2,509,056 cubic meters or blocks. The dimensions of 1 minecraft block is 1 meter.

    Sorry I mean north south east and west of the bed rock. Then i was wondering about how to connect the 4 outer points made, which I assume is to build a wall.
