WorldEditAdditions Beginner's Tutorial
Welcome to the WorldEditAdditions beginners tutorial! There are a number of conventions used in the chat command reference that may not be immediately obvious - this guide serves to explain in detail.
It is assumed that:
- You have both WorldEdit and WorldEditAdditions installed (see the Download section)
- You are already familiar the basics of Minetest
Minetest supports the execution of Chat Commands to manipulate the Minetest world. While in a Minetest world, simply type /help (the first forward slash / will automatically cause the chat window to appear) and hit enter to display a list of chat commands that are currently registered grouped by mod for example.
WorldEdit commands are, by convention, prefixed with an additional forward slash /. Here are some examples of WorldEdit chat commands:
//1
//2
//set dirt
Explaining core WorldEdit commands is out of scope of this tutorial, but you can find a complete list of them here: https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/ChatCommands.md.
The purpose of WorldEditAdditions is to extend WorldEdit by adding additional commands. Example commands that have been implemented that are not present in core WorldEdit include (but certainly aren't limited to):
//maze: Create instant mazes//forest: Plant forests//torus: Generate torus shapes//scale: Scale things up and down - even both at the same time!
See a full list with complete explanations in the chat command reference.
