The 'absheight' flag was added years ago for the floatlands of 'indev'
mapgen (now deleted). The feature mirrored all ore placement around y = 0
to place ores in floatlands.
In MTG we now use dedicated ore registrations for floatlands.
The feature is crude, inflexible, problematic and very rarely used, it
also makes ore vertical range code more complex.
Minetest 0.5 is a good chance to remove the feature.
The flag itself remains to not break flag values.

Some settings of paramters can cause mgv7 variables to be -inf, nan or -nan.
This can cause massive vertical columns of water to appear above sea level.
As with 'large_cave_depth', lava depth was previously a fixed y value and
therefore incompatible with the ability to shift terrain vertically.
Add 'lava_depth' mapgen parameter to mgflat, mgfractal, mgv5, mgv7.
The value cannot be fixed because we can shift terrain vertically.
This also makes these mapgens consistent with mgflat and mgvalleys which
have 'large_cave_depth' parameters.
When adding items to an empty ItemStack, limit the number of items taken
based on the maximum stack size in the item description.
Likewise, when checking whether items will fit into an empty ItemStack,
only absorb as many items as are allowed in a single stack and return the rest.
* Automatic item and node colorization
Now nodes with a palette yield colored item stacks, and colored items
place colored nodes by default. The client predicts the colorization.
* Backwards compatibility
* Use nil
* Style fixes
* Fix code style
* Document changes
Previously, the carving of rivers was disabled above 'shadow_limit' even if
floatlands were disabled. This caused rivers to be unnecessarily disabled if
mapgen was customised to have surface level above y = 1024.
Previously, maximum spawn level was set to 'water_level + 16'. This would result
in spawn search failing if terrain had been customised to be much higher than
'water_level' at all points.
Also raise spawn level by 1 node to avoid spawning half-buried in a biome 'dust'
node such as 'default:snowblock'.
* C++11 patchset 10: continue cleanup on constructors
* Drop obsolete bool MainMenuData::enable_public (setting is called with cURL in server loop)
* More classes cleanup
* More classes cleanup + change NULL tests to boolean tests
* C++11 patchset 9: move hardcoded init parameters to class definitions
C++11 introduced the possibility to define the default values directly in class definitions, do it on current code
Also remove some unused attributes
* CollisionInfo::bouncy
* collisionMoveResult::collides_xy
* collisionMoveResult::standing_on_unloaded
* Clouds::speed
* More constructor cleanups + some variables removal
* remove only write guiFormSpecMenu::m_old_tooltip
* move header included inside defintions in genericobject.h
* remove some unused since years exception classes
* remove unused & empty debug_stacks_init
* remove unused & empty content_nodemeta_serialize_legacy
* remove forgotten useless bool (bouncy) in collision.cpp code
Previously, when removing decorations we searched upwards and removed until we
found air or water. However, the node above the decoration can be 'ignore' if
a stacked decoration extends into the volume above the mapchunk. The result
could be a problematic column of air placed in the volume of 'ignore'. The
unnecessary placing of air also slows the function.
Add a check for 'ignore' nodes when removing decorations.
Recently we started to remove decorations if the dirt below was flowed away,
but this did not check for stacked decorations, causing them to have only
their lowest node removed.
Also, placed mud could partially bury stacked decorations.
Remove 'old_is_water' bool which on testing is never true.
Add new function 'moveMud()' to reduce indentation.
Remove stacked decoration nodes above a removed decoration.
Remove stacked decorations partially buried in placed mud.
