Add possibility to generate at different altitude #30

This would allow to view underground caves, highlight very high mountains (cutoff anything below) and perhaps discover other interesting map features.

The existing mapgen code is optimized for finding the 2d surface as fast as possible, and I think the caves system is a separate engine feature.

If altitude was added it would probably only be for new map code designed for it, like if your suggested nether map was added, or the new floatlands. Unfortunately the 2d nature of the display will be limiting on how well it can show a slice of a 3d map.

Ok, I understand.Would you prefer I close this issue then?
