 <a name="compositiongen"><h2>Terrain composition</h2></a>
+<p>As with the other generators, the composition generator category has its easy and debugging items, too.
+There's the "special" composition of "all the blocks are the same type", which fills the entire column, from
+the bottom to the height, with a single blocktype. This generator is useful when testing the generators in
+the other categories, to speed up the generation by leaving out unnecessary calculations. Another special
+compositor is a similar one, that fills all blocks with the same type, but the type varies for each biome.
+This way it's easy to see the generated biomes and possibly the heights for those biomes, as shown in the
+previous section on the <a href="#biomalheights">height averaging screenshot</a>.</p>
+
+<p>For a natural look, we need to put together a more complicated algorithm. The standard set forth in
+MineCraft is that the top of the world is covered in grass, then there are a few blocks of dirt and finally
+stone. This basic layout is then varied for different biomes - deserts have sand and sandstone instead of the
+grass and dirt layer. Mushroom biomes have mycelium in place of the grass. This per-biome dependency is
+trivial to implement - when compositing, simply use the appropriate layout for the column's biome.</p>
+
+<p>The next change concerns oceans. The generated heightmap doesn't include any waterlevel indication
+whatsoever. So it's up to the terrain compositor to actually decide where to place water. We do this by
+configuration - simply have a value in the config file specifying the sealevel height. The compositor then
+has to add water above any column which has a height lower than that. Additionally, the water needs to
+override per-biome layout selection - we don't want grass blocks to generate under water when the terrain
+height in the plains biome drops below the sealevel accidentally.</p>
+
+<p>The final feature in the compositor is the decision between multiple composition layouts within a single
+biome. A megataiga biome contains patches of non-grass dirt and podzol blocks, and the ocean floor can be
+made of dirt, gravel, sand or clay. A simple 2D Perlin noise can be used to select the layout to use for a
+specific column - simply threshold the noise's value by as many thresholds as there are layout variations,
+and use the layout corresponding to the threshold:</p>
