Used to represent a world's terrain. **Signature:** ```typescript export default class Chunk implements protocol.Serializable ``` **Implements:** protocol.Serializable ## Remarks Chunks make up the bulk of the terrain in a world. Chunks are fixed size, each containing 16^3 possible blocks as a 16x16x16 cube. Chunks are primarily a data structure used by [ChunkLattice](./server.chunklattice.md) to represent a world's terrain. Chunks store their internal block coordinates in local space, meaning local coordinates x: 0...15, y: 0...15, z: 0...15. ## Constructors <table><thead><tr><th> Constructor </th><th> Modifiers </th><th> Description </th></tr></thead> <tbody><tr><td> [(constructor)(chunkLattice, originCoordinate)](./server.chunk._constructor_.md) </td><td> </td><td> Creates a new chunk instance. </td></tr> </tbody></table> ## Properties <table><thead><tr><th> Property </th><th> Modifiers </th><th> Type </th><th> Description </th></tr></thead> <tbody><tr><td> [blocks](./server.chunk.blocks.md) </td><td> `readonly` </td><td> Readonly<Uint8Array> </td><td> The blocks in the chunk as a flat Uint8Array\[4096\], each index as 0 or a block type id. </td></tr> <tr><td> [chunkLattice](./server.chunk.chunklattice.md) </td><td> `readonly` </td><td> [ChunkLattice](./server.chunklattice.md) </td><td> The chunk lattice that the chunk belongs to. </td></tr> <tr><td> [originCoordinate](./server.chunk.origincoordinate.md) </td><td> `readonly` </td><td> [Vector3Like](./server.vector3like.md) </td><td> The origin coordinate of the chunk. </td></tr> </tbody></table> ## Methods <table><thead><tr><th> Method </th><th> Modifiers </th><th> Description </th></tr></thead> <tbody><tr><td> [blockIndexToLocalCoordinate(index)](./server.chunk.blockindextolocalcoordinate.md) </td><td> `static` </td><td> Convert a block index to a local coordinate. </td></tr> <tr><td> [getBlockId(localCoordinate)](./server.chunk.getblockid.md) </td><td> </td><td> Get the block type id at a specific local coordinate. </td></tr> <tr><td> [globalCoordinateToLocalCoordinate(globalCoordinate)](./server.chunk.globalcoordinatetolocalcoordinate.md) </td><td> `static` </td><td> Convert a global coordinate to a local coordinate. </td></tr> <tr><td> [globalCoordinateToOriginCoordinate(globalCoordinate)](./server.chunk.globalcoordinatetoorigincoordinate.md) </td><td> `static` </td><td> Convert a global coordinate to an origin coordinate. </td></tr> <tr><td> [hasBlock(localCoordinate)](./server.chunk.hasblock.md) </td><td> </td><td> Check if a block exists at a specific local coordinate. </td></tr> </tbody></table>
