Chat Commands

Many commands also have shorter names that can be typed faster. For example, if we wanted to use `//move ? 5`, we could instead type `//m ? 5`. All shortened names are listed below:

### `//pos1`

Set WorldEdit region position 1 to the player's location.

    //pos1

### `//pos2`

Set WorldEdit region position 2 to the player's location.

    //pos2

### `//p set/set1/set2/get`

Set WorldEdit region, WorldEdit position 1, or WorldEdit position 2 by punching nodes, or display the current WorldEdit region.

    //p set
    //p set1
    //p set2
    //p get

### `//deleteblocks`

Delete the MapBlocks (16x16x16 units) that contain the selected region. This means that mapgen will be invoked for that area. As only whole MapBlocks get removed, the deleted area is usually larger than the selected one. Also, mapgen can trigger mechanisms like mud reflow or cavegen, which affects nodes (up to 112 nodes away) outside the MapBlock, so dont use this near buildings. Note that active entities are not part of a MapBlock and do not get deleted.
