# WorldEditAdditions Beginner's Tutorial
|
|
Welcome to the WorldEditAdditions beginners tutorial! There are a number of conventions used in the [chat command reference](/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](/#download) section)
|
|
- You are already familiar the basics of [Minetest](https://www.minetest.net/)
|
|
|
|
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 <kbd>enter</kbd> 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`](/Reference/#maze-replace_node-path_length-path_width-seed): Create instant mazes
|
|
- [`//forest`](/Reference/#forest-density-sapling_a-chance_a-sapling_b-chance_b-sapling_n-chance_n-): Plant forests
|
|
- [`//torus`](http://localhost:8080/Reference/#torus-major_radius-minor_radius-node_name-axesxy-hollow): Generate [torus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus) shapes
|
|
- [`//scale`](/Reference/#scale-axis-scale_factor-factor_x-factor_y-factor_z-anchor_x-anchor_y-anchor_z): Scale things up and down - even both at the same time!
|
|
|
|
See a full list with complete explanations in the [chat command reference](/Reference).
