Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing issues with this mod, try checking this FAQ before opening an issue.

I get an error saying that worldedit isn't installed

WorldEditAdditions requires that the worldedit mod is installed as a dependency. Install it and then try launching Minetest (or the minetest-server) again.

I get an error saying that worldedit.register_command() is not a function

This is probably because your version of worldedit is too old. Try updating it. Specifically the worldedit.register_command() function was only added to worldedit in December 2019.

I get a crash on startup saying attempt to call field 'alias_command' (a nil value)

Please update to v1.8+. There was a bug in earlier versions that caused a race condition that sometimes resulted in this crash.
