Components

1. Python 3
2. Minecraft Server 1.16
3. Screen (linux utility)
4. Docker (optional, only for ease of packaging)

How it works

1. Start a superflat world with minecraft server on port specified in server.properties. This starts the server in a terminal
2. You can join the server from the minecraft client to see blocks being placed in real time
3. 'Screen' connects to this terminal to send minecraft commands
4. generate.py generates y and z coordinates (corrosponding to x) with specified functions
5. generate.py also sends the screen commands to the minecraft server
