+/** The interface that a terrain shape generator must implement
+A terrain shape generator takes chunk coords on input and outputs a 3D array of "shape" for that chunk. The shape here
+represents the distinction between air and solid; there's no representation of Water since that is added by the
+composition geenrator.
+The output array is indexed [y + 256 * z + 16 * 256 * x], so that it's fast to later compose a single column of the terrain,
+which is the dominant operation following the shape generation.
The generator may request biome information from the underlying BiomeGen, it may even request information for
-other chunks than the one it's currently generating (possibly neighbors - for averaging)
