Anthony Zhang e5331d39ae Many thanks to Smitje for providing a working example of roations.
Changes: fixed rotation and transposition of non-sqaure regions, makers are now moved to the new region boundaries after rotation/transposition, small consistency fixes, finally fix the /hide command.

WorldEdit API

The WorldEdit API is composed of multiple modules, each of which is independent and can be used without the other. Each module is contained within a single file.

For more information, see the README.

Manipulations

Contained in manipulations.lua, this module allows several node operations to be applied over a region.

count = worldedit.set(pos1, pos2, nodename)

Sets a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 to nodename. To clear to region, use "air" as the value of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes set.

count = worldedit.replace(pos1, pos2, searchnode, replacenode)

Replaces all instances of searchnode with replacenode in a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2.

Returns the number of nodes replaced.

count = worldedit.copy(pos1, pos2, axis, amount)

Copies the region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z") by amount nodes.

Returns the number of nodes copied.

count = worldedit.move(pos1, pos2, axis, amount)

Moves the region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z") by amount nodes.

Returns the number of nodes moved.

count = worldedit.stack(pos1, pos2, axis, count)

Duplicates the region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z") count times.

Returns the number of nodes stacked.

count, newpos1, newpos2 = worldedit.transpose(pos1, pos2, axis1, axis2)

Transposes a region defined by the positions pos1 and pos2 between the axis1 and axis2 axes ("x" or "y" or "z").

Returns the number of nodes transposed, the new position 1, and the new position 2.

count = worldedit.flip(pos1, pos2, axis)

Flips a region defined by the positions pos1 and pos2 along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z").

Returns the number of nodes flipped.

count, newpos2, newpos2 = worldedit.rotate(pos1, pos2, angle)

Rotates a region defined by the positions pos1 and pos2 by angle degrees clockwise around the y axis (supporting 90 degree increments only).

Returns the number of nodes rotated, the new position 1, and the new position 2.

count = worldedit.dig(pos1, pos2)

Digs a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2.

Returns the number of nodes dug.

Primitives

Contained in primitives.lua, this module allows the creation of several geometric primitives.

count = worldedit.hollow_sphere(pos, radius, nodename)

Adds a hollow sphere at pos with radius radius, composed of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes added.

count = worldedit.sphere(pos, radius, nodename)

Adds a sphere at pos with radius radius, composed of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes added.

count = worldedit.hollow_cylinder(pos, axis, length, radius, nodename)

Adds a hollow cylinder at pos along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z") with length length and radius radius, composed of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes added.

count = worldedit.cylinder(pos, axis, length, radius, nodename)

Adds a cylinder at pos along the axis axis ("x" or "y" or "z") with length length and radius radius, composed of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes added.

count = worldedit.pyramid(pos, height, nodename)

Adds a pyramid at pos with height height.

Returns the number of nodes added.

count = worldedit.spiral(pos, width, height, spacer, nodename)

Adds a spiral at pos with width width, height height, space between walls spacer, composed of nodename.

Returns the number of nodes added.

Visualization

Contained in visualization.lua, this module allows nodes to be visualized in different ways.

volume = worldedit.volume(pos1, pos2)

Determines the volume of the region defined by positions pos1 and pos2.

Returns the volume.

count = worldedit.hide(pos1, pos2)

Hides all nodes in a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 by non-destructively replacing them with invisible nodes.

Returns the number of nodes hidden.

count = worldedit.suppress(pos1, pos2, nodename)

Suppresses all instances of nodename in a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 by non-destructively replacing them with invisible nodes.

Returns the number of nodes suppressed.

count = worldedit.highlight(pos1, pos2, nodename)

Highlights all instances of nodename in a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 by non-destructively hiding all other nodes.

Returns the number of nodes found.

count = worldedit.restore(pos1, pos2)

Restores all nodes hidden with WorldEdit functions in a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2.

Returns the number of nodes restored.

Serialization

Contained in serialization.lua, this module allows regions of nodes to be serialized and deserialized to formats suitable for use outside MineTest.

data, count = worldedit.serialize(pos1, pos2)

Converts the region defined by positions pos1 and pos2 into a single string.

Returns the serialized data and the number of nodes serialized.

pos1, pos2, count = worldedit.allocate(originpos, value)

Determines the volume the nodes represented by string value would occupy if deserialized at originpos.

Returns the two corner positions and the number of nodes.

count = worldedit.deserialize(originpos, value)

Loads the nodes represented by string value at position originpos.

Returns the number of nodes deserialized.

count = worldedit.deserialize_old(originpos, value)

Loads the nodes represented by string value at position originpos, using the older table-based WorldEdit format.

This function is deprecated, and should not be used unless there is a need to support legacy WorldEdit save files.

Returns the number of nodes deserialized.

count = worldedit.metasave(pos1, pos2, file)

Saves the nodes and meta defined by positions pos1 and pos2 into a file.

Returns the number of nodes saved.

count = worldedit.metaload(pos1, file)

Loads the nodes and meta from file to position pos1.

Returns the number of nodes loaded.
