Aren't there mods to increase the world height of MC?

One day we will see 3d chunks...

There was Robinton's Cubic Chunks mod. Last version was for MC 1.0.1.

Barteks2x was making one for a more recent version, but I haven't been following what state it's in. Lighting wasn't working below 1000 blocks, last I checked.

My experience playing with this 1-2 years ago was that this isn't the right approach  One of the main problems is perhaps shown best by analogy:

The surface-area of DF is to MC as the sun is to Deimos.

I used Legends mode to pick out sites and roads, adding them to the map. It was fun work. (I don't recall if I committed back, I should do that) Unfortunately, the over-world is not actually of any reasonable resolution for converting worlds into MC.  If you expanded it to what you'd need to insert even MC villages where cities/sites are, the entire world would be mostly flat.  That's not exciting for rivers and bridges.

The project is usable, though, so folks could take it on if they wanted to -- obviously I got too busy to go much further than what I've alluded to here.

Yeah, the DF world, at a 1:1 scale is simultaneously both too flat to be interesting in minecraft, but also too tall to fit into the vertical limits.

and it is unwalkable.
converting 1:1 means one tile converts to a 1x1x1 MC area = 1 block and that would result in no walkable area.

[Rose]

No, 1:1 means 1tile in DF is 2 blocks wide by 3 blocks high in minecraft.

then go into MC and try building an upstairs within a 1x1x3 area.

You can fit a ladder in 2x2x3

You can fit a ladder in 2x2x3

but not stairs or a bed without restricting the walkability to at least some directions.

None of you are wrong!

Any DF to MC conversion is going to have to take some artistic liberties with world-terrain scaling and individual location implementation. Definitely the scaling factors have to be different. From Legends world view, you might want 25 or 30 to 1, but your fortress would be best as, say, 3:1 (Note, if you did a "4x4" as the base terrain in DF, your MC map would still be huge and not walkable.  Maybe this conversion should require smaller forts.) 

As mentioned, world height in MC is a problem both in world gen and fortress mode.  There's probably some artistic way around that in world gen by strategic block selection and the bumpiness of the terrain, for example mountains might be best represented by stone and repeating steep slopes.  In fortress mode, I don't know how you compress that down. Perhaps something like the MC Cubic Chunk mod could be brought into play, but that's out of my realm of expertise.

Tiles are the squares that form a map. They are approximately two meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high.[1](However, the physics calculations assume a tile size of 2.8 meters high, and a tick rate of 10 ticks per second)

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Tile

so the closest way of converting would turn a DF Tile into 2x2x3 MC blocks including floor.
that would guarantee free movement, although there would be no way of still having functional stairs, but you'd have to use ladders instead and all doors would look silly.
it would however be easiest to convert it into 3x3x4 MC blocks instead, which would allow for stairs and have a nice ceiling height.
this also would make some architecture look nicer.

as the tile sizes are subject of speculative thinking of Toady, this might be changed in the future anyway, so just using measurements that would look nicest and be arbitrary makes more sense than using measurements that are exactly to scale, but just look shitty and are neither arbitrary nor actually walkable for a MC char.

I don’t know if anyone is still watching this, but I cannot get Dorven realms to work. It functions fine, after generating the world a few times, and everything has functioned perfectly, except that whenever one of the worlds is actually opened, Minecraft just straight-up chooses a random seed and generates that instead.
If anyone is still watching, is there any workaround? Has anyone ever had this problem? Or does my computer really just hate me?

[Rose]

Probably something changed to the way minecraft loads maps.

[Imic]

You’re probably right. I’ll try with 1.13 tomorrow, and one or two earlier versions if I can. Thanks.

my first guess:
the MC world that gets created might actually contain the exported world, but you might be somewhere else and around the DF world, a regular MC world is created.
my second guess:
you have the wrong version of MC.
A lot has changed about game worlds and their format.
