Teleport to the Highest Ground
Land on top of the terrain instead of underground
✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026Uses Java's `positioned over world_surface` heightmap to find the top solid block at your X/Z, then teleports you one block above it so you land on the surface. This avoids dropping you inside caves or terrain when you only know horizontal coordinates. Swap world_surface for motion_blocking if you want to ignore leaves and other non-collision blocks.
