Hello everyone,
Update 1
Advantages:
Terrain consist of one mesh(one draw call, only one chunk)
Simple water system(fast)
Terrain can be easily saved and loaded(you need to save one array and to load it, every block with specific texture and values will be loaded)
Terrain is using simple collider(at the cost of performance)
Terrain runtime editor(add, check , edit or remove blocks)
Choose when and how to generate each block in whole map
Terrain is using one texture map(it consist from different textures)
Water is seperated mesh with collider
Square lighting
Many more
Disadvantages:
Whole map is generated at the start game(not infinite, I tried 10000*300 blocks - Generated for less than 2s)
No marching squares algorithm(terrain is using simple squares)
Tell me what you think…would you like to see it on asset store?
When first opening this post I expected just another tile editor, but this is actually really cool. I’m guessing this could be easily used as an actual game, just take away the editing ability and you basically have a Terraria-style terrain to work with, very very cool.

Thanks TheCowMan for your feedback.
New update*
I have changed a lot of things, here is the list:
Terrain is now static object
Water is separated mesh with its own collision
Added terrain render distance , terrain collision distance
Now you can set transparent tiles
New water pressure
Only square lighting, with multiple lights
Water use its own tiles - 4 of them (based on how much water is in one square)
Water will move down even if it hit the edge of the rendered part of the terrain
Better performance
Only 32*32 textures allowed for tiles
…as always a lot more.
New update
Soon I will upload demo so you can test it…
Hello guys, I started re working whole terrain, Now I will keep my eye on performance. 140 blocks X 140 blocks (witouth mesh collider or water) updating each frame without any lag or lag spike. Scene run at 14ms .
Don’t believe me?
