Minecraft – Do natural structures generate above 128 blocks

minecraft-java-edition

We are running a Minecraft server (bukkit) with new version 1.2. The height limit was doubled in the release, but I can't find any natural structures that use the new space above 128 blocks. I found some jungle trees and mountains that are 122 blocks height, but nothing above 128.

Does the map generator generate natural structures higher than the old 128 block limit?

Edit:

A source for your answer would be nice. (The code of the part of the generator that limits the height, or a seed to proof structures above 128 blocks)

Will the terrain generator ever be updated to use the full 256 blocks of build height?

It's intentionally designed to only go as high as it does right now. Maybe in the future, or with different generators/options, but right now we're happy with the extra breathing room for players.
