from mca import Block, EmptyRegion
from random import choice

# Create a new region with the `EmptyRegion` class at 0, 0 (in region coords)
region = EmptyRegion(0, 0)

# Create `Block` objects that are used to set blocks
stone = Block('minecraft', 'stone')
dirt = Block('dirt')  # you can omit 'minecraft' namespace

# Make a 16x16x16 cube of either stone or dirt blocks
for y in range(16):
    for z in range(16):
        for x in range(16):
            region.set_block(choice((stone, dirt)), x, y, z)
