I still can't quite fathom why you'd need anything like LateTick() - isn't Tick() enough? And if it isn't, would one LateTick() be enough, or soon there'll be demand for LateLateTick(), LateLateLateTick(), ...
Why would you need two "OnChunkGenerating", again? One is IMHO enough - it can write all chunk data instead of the generator, and if it returns true, the generator will skip builtin generating. It also needn't modify the data and be used as a notification only; return false in that case.
