It's from the same guy from whom I got the DualRidgeCaves idea, but unfortunately his approach is just too slow. It would mean that for each block in a chunk, several hundred math operations would need to be performed. This is plain too slow. We're alerady struggling with generator speed and this would bring it not to its nees, but below its grave, figuratively speaking.
Let's say 250 operations per block. There are 16 * 16 * 256 blocks in a chunk. That means a whopping ~16M math operations per chunk. Right now I estimate MCServer's generator to work in the order of tens of thousands of math ops per chunk. So - 100x slower??
