3 Dimensional Chunk 'Grids'

Coming with your newest snapshot is the right moment to introduce a three dimensional chunk grid system, where chunks aren't 16*16 blocks anymore but 16*16*x blocks, with heigth-dimensionality. 

I don't know how coding works in-depth, but maybe it would make the performance smoother, since it lowers the amounts of blocks and entities a player loads/generates at a time and cuts away redundancies on the heith-coordinates.

Also, this would in theory allow for indefinite height and depth of your world without your computer crashing because of too many blocks/entities.

  There are sub-chunks which are basically chunks for height, which could be thought of as the 3rd dimension to chunks. So there wouldn't need to be a new 3 dimensional chunk. Just applying what you said to sub-chunks would work... i think.
