Block storage format

• Block storage format in chunks has been slightly changed to speed up various tasks (rendering, pathfinding, world generation, etc.).
  • BlockStates in Sections elements no longer contain values stretching over multiple 64-bit fields.
    • If the number of bits per block is not the power of two (i.e. single 64-bit value can't fill the whole number of blockstates) some bits will not be used.
    • For example, if a single block state takes 5 bits, the highest 4 bits of every 64-bit field will be unused. That also means a slight increase in storage size (in case of 5 bits, from 320 to 342 64-bit fields).

Note that this is from a snapshot not in a stable release yet, so this could change between that snapshot and the release.

Why close this @ch-yx ? Both the upcoming changes in snapshot 20w17a and this new MCC file containing external chunk data require adjustments in my library. I'll let this issue open until I'm able to parse this

Was this naturally created by the vanilla Minecraft game, from an ordinary world? Sweet!!! I'll use it in my tests...
