# i73

Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 compatible world generator

## What is i73?

The goal of the i73 project is to create a generator with the capability of generating terrain 

that is practically identical to the default Beta 1.7.3 generator. This means that given the

correct configuration, the produced terrain should be identical aside from non-deterministic

things like Decorators. However, i73 will also have many features added over the default

generator.

## Planned/Implemented Features

### Customizable generation settings

i73 will support a level of configurability that is at least as good as the Customized world 

type in modern versions. Since many parts of the old world generation remain in modern versions,

many of the same parameters exist in both versions.

### Exposed APIs for working with generation components

Unlike the default generator, i73 will allow library users to access many generation components

directly. This customization allows easy learning from the content of the code as well as the

possibility of alternative implementations of Minecraft world generations building on the

generation primitives expressed in i73. Some examples of primitives include the default noise

generators, default decorators, caves, terrain shaping and painting, and biomes.

### Slick command line / IPC API along with a C interface

In addition to the exposed generation primitives to Rust code, i73 will also provide an interface

accessible through the command line, interprocess communication, and a C-compatible interface.

This makes i73 accessible from practically any environment, and allows many use cases including

biome correction, generating huge sections of the world (without Bukkit plugins/spawnpoint changing 

hacks), and generating chunk data for access in a server implementation.

### Compact + Extensible chunk storage system

i73 internally uses a palette-based system for storing block data. Not only is this fast and space

efficient, it is also in line with the 1.9 protocol chunk format meaning that chunk data generated

either from the Rust API, IPC, or C interface can be sent over the wire directly. The use of

palettes also allows the internal block type to be changed, which will make changing/removing the

ID limit much easier than in the Notchian minecraft implementation. This also makes i73 very likely

ready for the 1.13 Chunk Format teased by the Minecraft devs, which is said to use palettes.
