after endless futzing about and tweaking i think i have something that may just be workable for this faux bevel effect i want

here it is compared to my style guide image. how did i do, chat?
i probably wanna pull the grass away from the edge a bit more because it obscures the outlines, but i'm pretty happy with this overall
At the moment the wild grass is actually a block on top of the dirt (like carpets in minecraft) but I'm thinking maybe I should change it so that the grass is part of the dirt block that sticks out above it as it were. That way things can occupy the same block as the grass without deleting it, like shrubs, flowers, or other non-opaque blocks

chunks connect properly now! with bonus shot of the sprawling cave systems beneath the surface
i made a staged chunk generation system where chunks can request their neighbors be generated but only up to a certain stage, which keeps the generation from going infinitely in all directions, because the requested stage must always be lower than the chunk's current stage of generation

you can see through the sides of chunks now because the chunks (correctly!) note that their underground sides faces are obscured. it's just that they're obscured by chunks you can't see because they haven't fully been generated yet
