WorldEdit Tutorial
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
This is a step-by-step tutorial outlining the basic usage of WorldEdit. For more information, see the [README](README.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's start with a few assumptions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You have a compatible version of Minetest working.
|
||
|
|
* See the [README](README.md) for compatibility information.
|
||
|
|
* You have WorldEdit installed as a mod.
|
||
|
|
* If using Windows, [MODSTER](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=101463) makes installing mods totally painless.
|
||
|
|
* Simply download the file, extract the archive, and move it to the correct mod folder for Minetest.
|
||
|
|
* You are familiar with the basics of the game.
|
||
|
|
* How to walk, jump, and climb.
|
||
|
|
* How to dig, place, and punch blocks.
|
||
|
|
* How to type into the chat and read text from it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Overview
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
WorldEdit has a "region", which is simply a cuboid area defined by two markers, both of which the player can move around. Every player can have their own region with their own two markers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WorldEdit chat commands can work inside the region selected, or around the first marker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 1: Selecting a region
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
In the chat prompt, enter `//p set`. In the chat, you are prompted to punch two nodes to set the positions of the two markers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Punch a nearby node. Be careful of breakable ones such as torches. A black cube reading "1" will appear around the node. This is the marker for WorldEdit position 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Walk away from the node you just punched. Now, punch another node. A black cube reading "2" will appear around the node. This is the marker for WorldEdit position 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 2: Region commands
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
In the chat prompt, enter `//set mese`. In the chat, you will see a message showing the number of nodes set after a small delay.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look at the place between the two markers: it is now filled with MESE blocks!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `//set <node>` command fills the region with whatever node you want. It is a region-oriented command, which means it works inside the WorldEdit region only.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, try a few different variations, such as `//set torch`, `//set cobble`, and `//set water`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 3: Position commands
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
In the chat prompt, enter `//hollowdome 30 glass`. In the chat, you will see a message showing the number of nodes set after a small delay.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look around marker 1: it is now surrounded by a hollow glass dome!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `//hollowdome <radius> <node>` command creates a hollow dome centered around marker 1, made of any node you want. It is a position-oriented command, which means it works around marker 1 and can go outside the WorldEdit region.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 4: Other commands
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
There are many more commands than what is shown here. See the [Chat Commands Reference](Chat Commands.md) for a detailed list of them, along with descriptions and examples for every single one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're in-game and forgot how a command works, just use the `/help <command name>` command, without the first forward slash. For example, to see some information about the `//set <node>` command mentioned earlier, simply use `/help /set`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A very useful command to check out is the `//save <schematic>` command, which can save everything inside the WorldEdit region to a file, stored on the computer hosting the server (the player's computer, in single player mode). You can then later use `//load <schematic>` to load the data in a file into a world, even another world on another computer.
