=============
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.
Use modpack for easier installation (idea is taken from cornernote's mod format), fix some grammar in API reference, move chat command reference and API reference to separate files.
