World generation is the process of generating necessary data about the world when the player requires it. World generation is done on a region, map chunk and chunk column basis - each acting as a meaningful subdivision of the world. Each region, map chunk and chunk column is only generated once and stores important data about that area. | World generation is the process of generating necessary data about the world when the player requires it.
