Followup to the Temple of Rule 30: I made another attempt at mapping the output of a 2D cellular automaton to 3D objects in Minecraft and had better luck with a different ruleset. It can work, provided you choose the rules carefully and work only with
large objects.
Here's a sampling of various block mappings used with the same algorithm on a 125 block diameter sphere.

| Subtle & mossy |
 |
| Nested bands of ore |
 |
| Not-even-remotely-subtle edition |
 |
| Pig approves. |

With a little more work, I might be able to recreate Planet Bitmap from STNG...
Hmm, there's an idea: Glowing planets in the night sky. Pity the world is 30 million blocks wide but only 128 blocks tall.
