	'''Depth''' is a parameter not based directly on noise, instead ~~it corresponds~~ approximately to the terrain height. It is roughly 0 at the surface and increases by {{frac\|1\|128}} (0.0078125) for every 1 block down. The depth parameter affects whether a surface biome or a cave biome is placed.

	The table below lists the target depth values for Overworld biomes, and any additional noise values that favors their generation. Cave biomes are determined by the overall closeness a coordinate's noise parameter values are to the target parameter intervals of each cave biome. If a closest match exists, it will be chosen.

	[[Minecraft:Structures]] are grouped into structure sets. A structure set determines the placement positions of the structures and places a structure at these positions based on the biome. If no structure matches the biome, then no structure is placed at a given position. The structure positions are usually calculated based on the '''spacing''', '''separation''', and '''frequency''' parameters of the structure set. '''Spacing''' determines the average distance between structure placement position in chunks, and '''separation''' determines the minimum distance. '''Frequency''' controls the probability that a determined position is used. If the biome at the placement attempt does not match the requirement, the structure is not placed. An exception are [[Minecraft:stronghold]]s {{in\|JE}}, which are placed as concentric rings, see [[Minecraft:Stronghold#Generation]].		[[Minecraft:Structures]] are grouped into structure sets.

	To solve this problem, the game makes use of gradient noise algorithms, like {{W\|Perlin noise\|newtab=1}}.<ref>{{citation\|url=https://www.cs.umd.edu/class/spring2018/cmsc425/Lects/lect13-2d-perlin.pdf \|title=2D Perlin Noise; lecture notes for CMSC 425 (Game Programming) \|date=Spring 2018 \|author=Dave Mount and Roger Eastman}}</ref> This makes sure blocks and chunks fit with their neighbors and gives the world both continuity and randomness.

	Even though noise looks random and continuous, using it to generate terrain still lacks variation like hills and valleys that stand out and have a large height difference. To solve this, multiple noise functions are generated with different frequencies and amplitudes and then added up, which gives a more natural result. These noise functions are called octaves.
