    • Tip: Use a monospace font for the chat window, and the columns will be aligned!

  • //subdivide: Fix performance & memory usage issues
    • Fix passing arguments to the command being executed
    • If you encounter any other issues with it over large areas (particularly 2000x150x2000 and larger), please let me know

  • //maze, //maze3d: Allow non-number seeds (existing seeds aren't affected - they will still produce identical output)
  • //many: Improve format of progress messages, add ETA
  • //subdivide: Make asynchronous, and use minetest.emerge_area() to ensure areas are loaded before executing on a subdivision chunk
    • This will ensure that //subdivideing enormous regions should now function as expected. Want to level an entire rainforest with //subdivide and //clearcut? Now you can! :D
  • Add //line for drawing simple lines

v1.9: The Nature Update (20th September 2020)

  • Add //many for executing a command many times in a row

Updating

Updating depends on how you installed WorldEditAdditions.

  • UI in Minetest: There should be an update button for you to click in the mod menu
  • ContentDB: Download the latest update from here
  • Git: cd to the WorldEditAdditions directory and run git pull (Important: Recently, WorldEditAdditions changed the default branch from master to main. If you're updating from before then, you'll need to re-clone the mod or else do some git-fu)

After installing the update, don't forget to restart your client and / or server.
