WorldEdit v0.5 for MineTest 0.4

In-game world editing for MineTest! Tons of chat commands to help with building, fixing, and more.

For more information, see the forum topic at the MineTest forums.

Usage

WorldEdit works primarily through chat commands. Depending on your key bindings, you can invoke chat entry with the "t" key, and open the chat console with the "F10" key.

WorldEdit has a huge potential for abuse by untrusted players. Therefore, users will not be able to use WorldEdit unless they have the "worldedit" privelege. This is available by default in single player, but in multiplayer the permission must be explicitly given by someone with the right credentials, using the follwoing chat command: /grant <player name> worldedit. This privelege can later be removed using the following chat command: /revoke <player name> worldedit.

For in-game information about these commands, type /help <command name> in the chat. For example, to learn more about the //copy command, simply type /help /copy to display information relevant to copying a region.

Regions

Most WorldEdit commands operate on regions. Regions are a set of two positions that define a 3D cube. They are local to each player and chat commands affect only the region for the player giving the commands.

Each positions together define two opposing corners of the cube. With two opposing corners it is possible to determine both the location and dimensions of the region.

Regions are not saved between server restarts. They start off as empty regions, and cannot be used with most WorldEdit commands until they are set to valid values.

Markers

Entities are used to mark the location of the WorldEdit regions. They appear as boxes containing the number 1 or 2, and represent position 1 and 2 of the WorldEdit region, respectively.

To remove the entities, simply punch them. This does not reset the positions themselves.

WorldEdit API

WorldEdit exposes all significant functionality in a simple interface. Adding WorldEdit to the file "depends.txt" in your mod gives you access to all of the worldedit functions. These are useful if you're looking for high-performance node manipulation without all the hassle of writing tons of code.

worldedit.volume(pos1, pos2)

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

Returns the volume.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

worldedit.dig(pos1, pos2)

Digs a region defined by positions pos1 and pos2.

Returns the number of nodes dug.

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.

worldedit.deserialize(originpos, value)

Loads the nodes represented by string value at position originpos.

Returns the number of nodes deserialized.

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.
