/*
* The column: An array of 9 bytes which represent all y values for a given (x,z) Chunklet-coordinate
*
* The first byte is an address byte, this provides the x and z values.
* The next 8 bytes are all y values from 0 to 63, with each byte containing 8 bits of true/false data
*
* Each of these 8 bytes address to a y value from right to left
*
* Examples:
* 00000001 represents that the lowest y value in this byte is true, all others are off
* 10000000 represents that the highest y value in this byte is true, all others are off
* 10000001 represents that the lowest and highest y values in this byte are true, all others are off
*
* Full columns:
* See comment on Address byte for information on how to use that byte
*
* Example:
* ADDRESS_BYTE 10000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
* - x, z from ADDRESS_BYTE
* - The next byte contains data from 0 to 7
* - 1 is set in the highest bit position, this is 7 in y coordinate
* - The next byte contains data from 8 to 15
* - 1 is set in the lowest bit position, this is 8 in the y coordinate
* Therefore, for this column: There are true values at (x, 7, z) and (x, 8, z)
