Cubic Chunks Graphical Performance Improvement Idea

I got an idea to improve graphical performances.

First: divide the world in cubic (16x16x16) chunks.

Then, determine in wich of the player is. 

Fully render this chunk.

Then, create a 16x16x16 box around this chunk and with a low-res depth buffer or other techniques, determine wich faces are not visible.

Then, the chunks that correspond to those faces will not be visible.

You can even extrapolate the results and forthe visible chunks you repeat the process:

It's going to eleminate the render of everything under ground and create a huge performance boost I believe.

    If I recall VBO which was made mandatory in options, does this already. However, I am not sure if it renders graphics/textures that are not seen (such as entities or blocks underground).
