[Josharias]

Name: Caves

Current Goal: Better compatibility with other facet plugins
Curator: Josharias

Compatibility: Singleplayer, Multiplayer

Ideas:

• performance improvements
• smaller cave tendrils

Recent Changes:
Performance improvement (2015-12-15)
Revamped generation algorithm. (2015-12-14)

Spoiler: Change Log

v0.2.1 (2015-12-15)

• performance improvement

v0.2.0 (2015-12-14)

• Revamp caves to be based off of noise as opposed to using CustomOreGen to produce air veins.
• Ridged noise (possibly even a close to correct implementation) applied to generate caves across chunk boundaries
• Add the ability to have more caves the deeper you go from the surface.
• More configuration options

It occurs to me that modifying the DensityFacet would produce similar results to rasterizing in air. This would cause the normal SolidRasterizer to not place any blocks in these positions. Also, this would have a side effect of integrating well with other facet providers.
