Im Making A Minecraft Like Gae In XNA C# And I Need To Generate Land With Caves

This Is The Code For Simplex I Have

This Is My World Generation Code

   Block[,] BlocksInMap = new Block[1024, 256];

    public bool IsWorldGenerated = false;

    Random r = new Random();

    private void RunThread()
    {
        for (int BH = 0; BH <= 256; BH++)
        {
            for (int BW = 0; BW <= 1024; BW++)
            {
                Block b = new Block();
                if (BH >= 192)
                {

                }
                BlocksInMap[BW, BH] = b;
            }
        }

        IsWorldGenerated = true;
    }

    public void GenWorld()
    {
        new Thread(new ThreadStart(RunThread)).Start();
    }

And This Is A Example Of How I Set Blocks

Block b = new Block();
b.BlockType = = Block.BlockTypes.Air;

This Is A Example Of How I Set Models

foreach (Block b in MyWorld)
{
    switch(b.BlockType)
    {
        case Block.BlockTypes.Dirt:
            b.Model = DirtModel;
            break;
        ect.
    }
}

How Would I Use These To Generate To World (The Block Array) And If Possible Thread It More?

btw It's 1024 Wide And 256 Tall
