Easy there, you'll need to start small.
For starters, you can make a simple height map and randomly distribute circular elevations and depressions on the map.

How new are you to C++? Just starting out? If so then this task may prove to be a very daunting.

MineCraft wasn't build in a day.

Once you've gotten the heightmap technique working, combine it with some 3D aspects to create overhangs and such.

So you have a working 3D game that can load simple test maps? If so that puts you at an extremely huge advantage here.
