The tree was parsed once, globally, and shared by every world -- so every
condition that needs the seed simply did not work. Compiling it per RandomState
fixes four of them at once.
noise_threshold sampled a per-column random draw and pretended it was
"minecraft:surface"; the other six noises it names were unsupported and returned
false. Each condition now holds its own seeded noise, sampled once per column
into a small cache the way vanilla's LazyXZCondition does. Powder snow, packed
ice and ice appear in the dump for the first time; calcite, swamp water windows
and gravel patches have their conditions back too.
vertical_gradient tapered through a per-column RNG shared with the other rules.
Vanilla rolls a positional random at the exact block, from a factory named by
the rule. More importantly the anchor decoder read only above_bottom and
discarded which kind of anchor it was, so the deepslate rule's absolute 0..8
collapsed onto y=-64 and **no deepslate existed anywhere in the world**. Anchors
now carry their kind and resolve against the real height bounds -- which also
retires a hardcoded 384 in y_above.
Two more stubs land with them: hole is surfaceDepth <= 0 rather than a constant
false, and steep reads the neighbouring column heights. steep needs the whole
chunk's heightmap, so the column pass is now two passes -- terrain and fluids
for all 256 columns, then surface rules -- which is the order vanilla uses
anyway (doFill, then buildSurface).
Deepslate was also missing from the block-ID table, and an unknown name resolved
to 0, which the caller read as "no block" and skipped. So even a correct rule
would have placed nothing. Unknown names are now a parse error, deepslate and
mud are in the table, and a rule that resolves to air genuinely places air --
the frozen-ocean surface asks for exactly that.
Below y=0 is now entirely deepslate, y=1..7 a scatter, above y=8 none.
Every land column was one block of grass sitting straight on stone. No dirt
under grass, no sandstone under sand, nothing. Two stubs did it together:
above_preliminary_surface compared blockY against the column's actual top block,
so of every position in the column exactly one passed -- and the entire
biome-specific half of the surface rule tree hangs under that condition.
Vanilla compares against a minimum surface level: the preliminary surface level
sampled at the four corners of the 16-block cell, bilinearly interpolated, plus
the surface depth less 8. That is about twenty blocks of reach on ordinary
terrain, which is what the biome subtree is written against.
Surface depth was hardcoded to 0. Vanilla is surfaceNoise*2.75 + 3 with a
per-column jitter, so it comes out around three; it sets how thick the band is
and feeds every add_surface_depth term in the tree. Zero collapsed them all.
Also samples surface_secondary, so stone_depth's secondary_depth_range widens
its band instead of being parsed and dropped.
Grass columns now read grass, two to four dirt, stone -- the histogram over 256
columns is {2: 223, 3: 33}, against vanilla's 2..4. gendump prints it and fails
if the band collapses again; TestGrassColumnsHaveDirt guards it in the suite.
The water condition asked "is this block at or above sea level", which is only
the same question as vanilla's in an ocean. Vanilla asks how far the block sits
below the water directly above it, and there is now water that is nowhere near
y=63: the aquifer puts pools at their own levels, deep underground and up in the
hills. Against sea level every one of those read as dry stone, and the stone
above them read as lakebed.
waterHeight is already tracked down the column, so the condition becomes the
vanilla one: pass when there is no water above at all, otherwise when
blockY (+ stoneDepthAbove where the rule asks for it) clears
waterHeight + offset + surfaceDepth * multiplier. add_stone_depth was parsed and
then ignored; three rules in the overworld tree set it.
NoWaterAbove replaces a bare math.MinInt so a hand-built context cannot default
to "water at y=0" by leaving the field unset.
Every air block below y=63 was turned into water. That is one line of code and
it cost the entire underground: no dry caves, no lava lakes, no air pockets, a
solid block of water from the sea floor to bedrock.
Vanilla decides fluid per position instead. Aquifer centres sit on a jittered
16x12x16 grid; each gets a fluid level and type from the floodedness and spread
noises, with centres near open sky inheriting the sea and buried ones getting a
much lower randomised level or nothing at all. A position takes its nearest
centre's fluid unless the barrier noise raises enough pressure between the two
or three nearest centres to seal it back to stone. Deep centres turn to lava.
Porting it means fixing the order of generation, not just adding a file. Vanilla
resolves stone/water/lava/air during the density pass and only then runs the
surface rules over a finished column; we did it the other way round, which is
what forced the unconditional flood in the first place. fillVanillaColumn now
asks the aquifer per position, and applySurfaceRule walks the finished column
carrying the bookkeeping SurfaceSystem carries: air resets the counters, a fluid
records its water height, and stone gets a depth from the top of its run plus
one from the bottom, found by looking ahead to the next non-stone block below.
That last one fixes stone_depth's ceiling form, which had no bottom-up depth to
work with and was testing the top-down one instead -- fourteen rules in the
overworld tree use it to dress cave roofs. The floor form is unchanged: vanilla
counts from 1 and compares against 1 + offset, we counted from 0 and compared
against offset.
The aquifer grid is built eagerly per chunk rather than lazily, because our
columns fill concurrently; every cell is a pure function of its grid coordinate
and every cell in the computed range gets consulted anyway. Cost is ~0.5% of
chunk generation, most of it absorbed by the shared preliminary-surface cache.
Inland caves go from 100% water to 3.8%, and lava exists for the first time.
cmd/gendump grows a census that would have failed loudly before, and
TestCavesAreDry guards it in the suite.
Replaces the biome-blind fillVanillaColumn heuristics with a full
interpreter for the overworld surface_rule tree (already embedded in
overworld.json): block/sequence/condition/bandlands rules plus all 11
condition tests (biome, steep, hole, water, temperature, y_above,
stone_depth, noise_threshold, not, vertical_gradient,
above_preliminary_surface).
- worldgen/blockids.go: name(+Properties)→network-ID table for surface
blocks (grass/sand/terracotta/mycelium/podzol/coarse_dirt/sandstone/
calcite/snow/ice/...), with snowy property variants.
- worldgen/surface.go: rule-tree parser + interpreter + SurfaceContext;
LoadOverworldSurfaceRule caches the seed-independent tree.
- loader.go: OverworldDensity.SurfaceRule() exposes the parsed tree.
- biome_lookup.go: BiomeNameAt returns the biome name for biome tests.
- vanilla.go: samples the 2D climate + biome before column fill, threads
the rule tree and biome name into fillVanillaColumn, and applies it
top-down with stone as the default for non-matching (deeper) blocks.
The above_preliminary_surface gate uses an inclusive bound so the top
solid block reaches the biome dispatch.
- Performance: one per-column RNG and a reused SurfaceContext keep the
overhead to ~+13ms/chunk (71ms vs 58ms baseline), within the gate.
