Minecraft's terrain generator does a couple of passes (last I read about this, things may have changed) that generates cave systems, the surface level topography, forests, etc. http://notch.tumblr.com/post/3746989361/terrain-generation-part-1 http://notch.tumblr.com/post/3746989361/terrain-generation-p...
