### Far Wand ### Far Wand
The far wand (`worldeditadditions:farwand`) is a variant on the traditional WorldEdit wand (`worldedit:wand`). It looks like this: ![A picture of the far wand](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbrl/Minetest-WorldEditAdditions/master/worldeditadditions_farwand/textures/worldeditadditions_farwand.png) The far wand (`worldeditadditions:farwand`) is a variant on the traditional WorldEdit wand (`worldedit:wand`).

It functions very similarly to the regular WorldEdit wand, except that it has a _much_ longer range - which can be very useful for working on large-scale terrain for example. It also comes with an associated command to control it.

Note that punching out the positions **does not unset them**. Use `//reset` to reset the defined region.

### Cloud Wand ### Cloud Wand
The cloud wand (`worldeditadditions:cloudwand`) is a another variant the above _Far Wand_.

Unlike the other 2 wands, this wand functions in an additive manner. Left-click on a node to expand the currently defined region (creating a new one if one isn't defined already) to include that node. Right click to clear the currently defined region.

It has the range of the _Far Wand_ mentioned above too, so you can select nodes from a great distance. It also abides by preferences set via the `//farwand` chat command.

### Multi-Point Wand
The third type of wand provided by WorldEditAdditions is completely different, in that it allows you to select up to **999 points** at once! It looks like this: ![A picture of the multi-point wand](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbrl/Minetest-WorldEditAdditions/main/worldeditadditions_farwand/textures/worldeditadditions_multiwand.png)
It is important to note that (at present) the points selected by this wand **are not compatible with normal points**. This will change in the future, but requires a lot of work to implement.
It has the following actions:
- **Left click:** Add a new point
- **Right click:** Undo adding a point
It has the range of the other wands mentioned above though, so you can select nodes from a great distance. It also abides by preferences set via the `//farwand` chat command.
