ChunkCreationHook.setBlockData() causing ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[caHarkness]

When adding a hook handler like so:

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    @HookHandler
    public void onChunkCreate(ChunkCreationHook hook)
    {   

Calling hook.setBlockData(new int[32768]); causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. One thing I would like to mention is that 16 * 16 * 256, the suggested chunk size, does not add up to 32768. It adds up to 65536. Attempting to setBlockData with either size does not work.

Update

Apparently, initializing the array with 65536 and setting all the integers in the array to 0 leads to another problem:

An IllegalArgumentException is thrown instead. bound must be positive.

This should actually be a new byte[256] (I got biomes stuck in the head for some reason...) int[65536], at one time it was set internally as an array of 32768 (even though the height had a change)

Its also not implemented properly with 1.8 right now
