Minetest-WorldEditAdditions
Extra tools and commands to extend WorldEdit for Minetest
If you can dream of it, it probably belongs here!
Important News: The master branch has been renamed to main, to follow the new standard across the Git ecosystem. If you've installed WorldEditAadditions through git, you will need to re-clone the repository.
(Do you have a cool build that you used WorldEditAdditions to build? Get in touch and I'll feature your screenshot here!)

Installation
You can install WorldEditAadditions in multiple ways:
Through ContentDB
WorldEditAdditions is on ContentDB here: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Starbeamrainbowlabs/worldeditadditions/.
Through the latest release
You can get a copy of WorldEditAdditions by downloading the source code for the latest release, but this is not recommended because it takes additional effort to update to the latest version.
Through Git
You can also clone this git repository. Note that the main branch is not considered to be stable at all times - though it shouldn't crash. It is recommended that you checkout a release to ensure stability. Do that like so:
# First, clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/sbrl/Minetest-WorldEditAdditions.git WorldEditAdditions
cd WorldEditAdditions
# Then, checkout the latest release on Linux:
git checkout "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)";
Windows users, you'll need to check the releases page and find the name of the latest release, then do this instead of the git checkout above:
git checkout TAG_NAME_HERE
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.
Why don't the moretrees trees work with //forest?
As far as I can tell, the saplings provided by the moretrees mod don't properly interact with bonemeal from the bonemeal mod, which WorldEditAdditions uses to grow trees. As far as I can tell WorldEditAdditions has everything in place needed to support them, but until applying bonemeal to moretrees saplings results in a tree rather than waiting for one to grow over time, WorldEditAdditions will always fail to place trees provided by the moretrees mod, unfortunately.
Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Please state in your pull request(s) that you release your contribution under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Please also make sure that the logic for every new command has it's own file. For example, the logic for //floodfill goes in worldeditadditions/floodfill.lua, the logic for //overlay goes in worldeditadditions/overlay.lua, etc. More contributing help can be found in the contributing guide.
I, Starbeamrainbowlabs (@sbrl), have the ultimate final say.
