Anyone playing #minetest here?
I finally published a fast and fancy world map generator with cool cliff view and stuff.
I never expected how full of caves and passages #Mineclone underground would be!
Thanks to Jan Ole Zabel, who laid the groundwork!

Oh, and it's written in #rust .
@dcz i'm using git@github.com:minetest/minetestmapper.git for underground view, created a script which slices world in layers and then simple image viewer (feh) to navigate through layers
@ruff nice! It's similar to my caves view (pic already posted), where solid rock is see-through.
I have not needed to limit the starting point - the code is already fast starting from the very top - so no slices right now.
@dcz You can make solid stone transparent by adding alpha component to colors.txt for the stone block but the view is awkward so i don't use it much.
@ruff Yeah, that's obviously awkward, so my solution is to make some stone transparent and some not. Best check it out yourself.
@dcz and bird view (+20) of the same region
