I wonder if it is possible to avoid "digging deep" problem by first building a cube out of voxels and then applying the type of distortion that turns the cube into quad sphere not just to the surface of the cube but also to the insides of the cube.

I don't know how to explain it better, perhaps I should try to write some code, lol

It seems like the easiest way would be if you hit immutable lava at some point.

Just like in real life. Wait a sec...

Minecraft solves the issue by making the bottom layer of its maps a special kind of block ('bedrock') that cannot be broken with any tool in the game without use of admin-level commands or the 'creative' mode.
