2D voxel rendering mode (Feature suggestion)

[Ninjacat64]

In my opinion, having the ability to render the voxels as 2D rectangles instead of 3D rectangular prisms would be nice, as that is more typical for how voxel terrain of this type is/was rendered, and in my opinion, produces much smoother and less jagged-looking terrain when compared to using polygons, which draw attention to the corners of the voxels in a way that 2D voxels do not.

You mean, render it like a classical heightmap terrain? There are 2 issues with this approach:

1. how to effectively process the edges where one layer turns into 2
2. how to support dynamic change of voxel grid, especially when any cell can switch between single layer and double layer

If those are resolved, I agree that the smooth polygonal surface would look great and run very fast!
