 * World boundary
 * All blocks beyond X/Z 30 million (±30,000,000) from origin now act as solid blocks.
 * This includes air blocks.
 * This creates essentially an invisible wall at the boundary.
 * As all blocks function as solid, if the player is moved outside the boundary via external tools, they will be unable to move outside the block space they are within.
 * Despite the above, the camera can still move normally. This reveals that ghost chunks still generate, as the camera can pass through normally solid blocks beyond the boundary.

 * Biomes with a base temperature of 1.5 or greater don't rain
 * Biomes are grouped according to their temperature and attempt to generate next to biomes with similar temperatures
