+# mcl_mapgen
+============
+Helps to avoid problems caused by 'chunk-in-shell' feature of mapgen.cpp.
+It also queues your generators to run them in proper order:
+
+## mcl_mapgen.register_chunk_generator(chunk_callback_function, priority)
+=========================================================================
+Registers callback function to be called when current chunk generation is finished.
+	`callback_function`: chunk callback function definition:
+		`function(minp, maxp, seed)`:
+			`minp` & `maxp`: minimum and maximum chunk position;
+			`seed`: seed of this mapchunk;
+	`priority` (optional): order number - the less, the earlier,
+		e.g. `mcl_mapgen.priorities.BUILDINGS` or `mcl_mapgen.priorities.LARGE_BUILDINGS`
+
+## mcl_mapgen.register_block_generator(callback_function, priority)
+===================================================================
+Registers callback function to be called when block (usually 16x16x16 nodes) generation is finished.
+	`callback_function`: block callback function definition, see below;
+	`priority` (optional): order number - the less, the earlier,
+		e.g. `mcl_mapgen.priorities.BUILDINGS` or `mcl_mapgen.priorities.LARGE_BUILDINGS`
+
+## mcl_mapgen.register_block_generator_lvm(callback_function, priority)
+=======================================================================
+Registers callback function to be called when block (usually 16x16x16 nodes) generation is finished.
+`vm_context` passes into callback function and should be returned back.
+	`callback_function`: block callback LVM function definition, see below;
+	`priority` (optional): order number - the less, the earlier,
+		e.g. `mcl_mapgen.priorities.BUILDINGS` or `mcl_mapgen.priorities.LARGE_BUILDINGS`

+=======================================================================
+UNSAFE! See https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2/issues/1395
+Registers callback function to be called when current chunk generation is finished.
+IT IS UNSAFE! GROUND CONTENT YOU PLACE (INCLUDING WATER AND AIR) CAN BE OVERWRITTEN BY cavegen.
+ALL OTHER API FUNCTIONS ARE SAFE! USE THEM PLEASE! BUT WE NEED THIS FUNCTION STILL SOMETIMES,
+WHEN WE NEED TO ACCESS MAPGEN OBJECTS like `heightmap`, `biomemap`, ETC.
+	`callback_function`: chunk callback LVM function definition, see below;
+		`function(vm_context)`:
+			Function MUST RETURN `vm_context` back anyway! It will passed into next callback function from the queue.
+			`vm_context`: a table which already contains some LVM data if the fields, and some of them can be added right in callback function:
+				`vm`: curent voxel manipulator object itself;
+				`blockseed`: seed of this mapchunk;
+				`minp` & `maxp`: minimum and maximum chunk position;
+				`emin` & `emax`: minimum and maximum chunk position WITH SHELL AROUND IT;
+				`area`: voxel area, can be helpful to access data;
+				`data`: LVM buffer data array, data loads into it before the callbacks;
+				`write`: set it to true in yout callback functionm, if you changed `data` and want to write it;
+				`data2`: LVM buffer data array of `param2`, !NO ANY DATA LOADS INTO IT BEFORE THE CALLBACKS! - you load it yourfels:
+					`vm_context.data2 = vm_context.data2 or vm_context.vm.get_param2_data(vm_context.lvm_param2_buffer)`
+				`write_param2`: set it to true in yout callback functionm, if you used `data2` and want to write it;
+				`lvm_param2_buffer`: static `param2` buffer pointer, used to load `data2` array;
+				`shadow`: set it to false to disable shadow propagation;
+				`heightmap`: mapgen object contanting y coordinates of ground level,
+					!NO ANY DATA LOADS INTO IT BEFORE THE CALLBACKS! - you load it yourfels:
+					`vm_context.heightmap = vm_context.heightmap or minetest.get_mapgen_object('heightmap')`
