Maps must be in increments of 16. If you don't, it'll glitch like that.

I don't understand what you wrote, did that happen with a 512x512x256 map? Because it shouldn't. Map dimensions should be in powers of 2 (or you can use multiples of 16) like 128, 256, 512, 1028 etc. That edge glitch will happen when you use dimensions that aren't those special numbers.
Contest, i'm looking at you.

fCraft lets you make maps of any sizes, but the Minecraft client has problems with certain sizes:
- If any dimension is not a multiple of 16 (e.g. 16, 32, 48, 64, etc), there will be invisible blocks and a LOT of visual glitches.
- If width or length (horizontal dimensions) are multiples of 16 but not powers of 2 (e.g. 16, 32, 64, 128, 236, etc), there will be inaccessible walled-off areas on a map, and it will lag pretty badly. However, you can still make map height any multiple of 16 without negative side effects.
