Bedrock Edition:Elevated Chunks
Elevated chunks is a glitch that elevates chunks in the Overworld by 64 blocks when converting a Caves & Cliffs experimental world to a non-experimental world. Next to normal terrain, it looks similar to a monolith. The underside of elevated chunks will be made out of either solid bedrock (if generated previously in a non-experimental world), or new cave generation (if generated newly in the experimental world).
Warning
Make sure nothing valuable is inside the chunks you are elevating. You cannot undo this glitch, so make sure to make a backup.
The following will happen inside of chunks you are elevating:
- Entities and block NBT will stay on the same coordinates.
- Portals will turn into ghost portals.
- Powered (sticky) pistons will be unpowered.
- And more[test]
Obtaining
Create a world in the pre-update ranges with the experimental Caves & Cliffs toggle on, and then update it to any of the post-update ranges. The chunks will be elevated by 64 blocks. You can do this three times without downgrading. If you want to do this more than three times, you have to downgrade.
You can also do this without switching between versions by level.dat forcing.

A single chunk got elevated because it contained a dungeon.
