How do you create a fractal cube-map?

Question

I want to create a map similar to how Mincraft and other related games do. I just haven't the faintest clue on how to do so. Can anyone point me to a decent tutorial or give me a decent run through? I program in java and use openGL.

Could you give a description of what a fractal cube-map is? I haven't heard that term before and it doesn't seem to be easily found on google. — CiscoIPPhone, Jul 27 '11 at 22:54

Are you looking for something like this?

The article I mention in that answer is pretty good and talks about creating maps exactly like Minecraft. Using that article as a starter I was able to create maps like this for my game.
