after a little bit of thinking you could use occlusion culling with no filled chunks ie. chunks with some block in it. IF 1 or more of it sides are filled with a none transparent blocks. You can use that side for occusion box check. This sides check should be only use on chunks that are close to th...

lua is not that hard the way i do it. just copy and paste the code you want then change the veribles.

I think time well spend no need to hunt for coal when starting a new world.
