FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Is it possible to add a board here for MapGen discussions, and MapGen questions?

This area is generally used for sharing maps...
But maybe isn't a bad idea!

Erm perhaps i'll open a thread for mapgen questions.

Thank you for considering it...
I think it would be good, and helpful.

im in the middle of searching for mapgen problems. can biomes be created on on top another?

as in, can worlds. i know you can make biomes midair, but they will not have blocks.

Do you mean having different world-levels stacked vertically? Like this:



Not yet in core mapgens, but maybe in future mapgens.
Once a core mapgen generates world levels the current biome API can indeed create different biomes for each level.

yes, but no holes. im mostly worried about the blocks existing. im hoping for a 5000 block gap, pretty much.
