Height probably shouldn't be a static value as it could prevent building near mountainous areas. Instead, we should do one of the following:

* Find the highest block from the terrain generator using the world seed and offset the max height from it
* Calculate the average highest block in a chunk and offset the max height from the average
* The average should be based on the percentage of air blocks above y=64 instead of the absolute highest block. This should make it more difficult to push the height limit without a serious time/block investment.

Later on we should have configurable locations with a max height for the center and radius to reduce the height limit across.
