Info

Meet the "RaysGrid" experience: A normal minecraft world, but with 99% of its blocks removed.

A modified version of the oh-so-popular Sky-Grid, but unlike Sky-Grid, the blocks generated are the same as those in a typical Minecraft world.

Everything that's possible in a normal Minecraft world, is also possible here!

Features

Structures & decorations can either be generated normally, or "gridified" like all other terrain.
Bedrock generation can be turned off.
Ability to skip the removal of specific blocks (end portal frames, chests, what ever you like)!
No liquid spilling when a chunk is loaded: water/lava stays hovering.
Very reasonable performance: we either intercept the chunk generation process, or do post-processing with BlockPopulators.

Setup

Download and move the plugin to your "Plugins" -folder.
Assign JapsuGrid as your world generator in Bukkit.yml:

worlds:
  world:
    generator: JapsuGrid
  world_nether:
    generator: JapsuGrid
  world_the_end:
    generator: JapsuGrid

Note: If the lines above are missing from your Bukkit.yml, just add them!
