Generate a single chunk in empty world

Hey guys and girls,

I'm trying to generate a single 16x16 chunk in a empty (void) world.

I thought about doing something like this:

Code:

   @Override
    public ChunkData generateChunkData(World world, Random random, int x, int z, BiomeGrid biome) {
        if (x == 0 && z == 0) {
            // generate chunk using default generator
        }

        return createChunkData(world);
    }

The idea is that I generate a normal chunk at x=0, z=0 and leave the rest of the world empty. However, I have not yet found a way to ge tthe default chunk generator.

It is mandatory that I use the default generator for the chunk, a custom generator won't work.

Is there any way to do this? Maybe a little workaround?

This create an empty world from a flat world

Code:

@Override
    public ChunkData generateChunkData(World world, Random random, int x, int z, BiomeGrid biome) {
        ChunkData chunk = createChunkData(world);
     
     
        for (int X = 0; X < 16; X++) {
            for (int Z = 0; Z < 16; Z++) {
                for (int y = 0; y <= 5; y++) {
                    chunk.setBlock(X, y, Z, Material.AIR);
                }
            }
        }
     
        return chunk;
    }

 

You can't get the default world generator. I think the easiest way to do this is have a "source" world that you copy the chunk from
