Interface ChunkProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:
StreamingTerrain.MemoryChunkProvider
public interface ChunkProvider
Supplies and persists TerrainChunks for a StreamingTerrain. Implementations decide where chunks come from: procedurally generated, bundled resources, Storage, or the network. A provider must return a (possibly empty) chunk for any coordinate so the world is seamless.
