## What it is
A C++ module and GDExtension for Godot Engine that adds voxel terrain support, including blocky and smooth volumetric terrains with meshing, physics, and infinite streaming. It enables in-game editable 3D terrain with overhangs, tunnels, generators, and instanced decorations.

## Use cases
- create a Minecraft-like blocky voxel game in Godot
- build smooth volumetric terrain with level of detail
- make destructible and editable in-game terrain
- generate infinite procedurally streamed worlds
- spawn foliage and rocks on voxel surfaces
- implement fast voxel collisions with Godot physics

## When to choose
- you need voxel terrain in Godot with overhangs and tunnels beyond heightmaps
- you want infinite chunked terrain streaming with custom generators
- you need both blocky and smooth (Transvoxel) voxel meshes

## When to avoid
- you use an engine other than Godot
- you only need simple heightmap terrain
- you need built-in multiplayer voxel sync (still on the roadmap)

## Facets
