This would require to run extremely inefficient maths stuff all the time or to have a client- and a server-sided part.

Just so you know, Z is up and down in 3D, not Y.

I was always taught that Z is depth, not height. And so it is in most sane 3D modelling software and game engines. The only engine/graphic software I've seen so far that uses Z as height is Blender and its Blender Game Engine. Maybe Torque does it too, I don't know never used it.
Wesley Williams:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Z is almost always used to reference the vertical plane in games.  X and Y are for the horizontally based plane.
