absheight

by Don » Post

Just wondering if someone could give me a little info about absheight. I tried googling it but couldn't find a good explaination.
I am working on a mapgen and wondering what the flag does.

I read that but but it doesn't explain what it is. Does it mean that the ore can be above y=0?

Example: you register an ore which spawns from Y = -256 to Y = -240 with flag "absheight". It will also generate from Y = 240 to Y = 256, which is the absolute value.
