WorldEdit API
Separate components into separate mods, add visualization API with hide(), suppress(), find(), and restore() for nondestructive node visualization. Corresponding chat commands are //hide, //suppress, //find, and //restore. Commands and functions documented.

=============
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.
