// ComposableGenerator.h
// Declares the cComposableGenerator class representing the chunk generator that takes the composition approach to
// generating chunks
/*
Generating works by composing several algorithms:
Biome, TerrainHeight, TerrainComposition, Ores, Structures and SmallFoliage
Each algorithm may be chosen from a pool of available algorithms in the same class and combined with others,
based on user's preferences in the world.ini.
See https://forum.cuberite.org/thread-409.html for details.
