Region Operations

Besides clipboard operations, there are other thing you can do with your selection.

Setting Blocks

The set command is a simple command (;set <pattern: Pattern>) that sets all the blocks in your selection to a specified pattern.

Replacing Blocks

You can use the replace command (;replace <mask: Mask> <pattern: Pattern>) when you only want to set specific blocks in your selection.

Stacking

The stack command repeats your selection, in a certain direction (;stack <times: int> [direction: Direction]). Useful for when you want to build something with a repeating pattern; like bridges, hallways, and rows of pillars.

Direction by default is the one you are currently facing. There are other directions you can choose too.

forward, back, left and right are all directions relative to where you're facing; up, down, north, south, east and west are all directions relative to the world.

Moving

Suppose you think a build would look better if it were nudged a little to the right. Rather than cutting and pasting the build, you also have the option of using the move command to adjust the its position (;move <amount: int> [direction: Direction]).

Rotating

The rotate command allows you to rotate your builds in increments of 90° around you (;rotate [-cos] <rotate: int>). The -c flag makes this command affect the clipboard, -o makes it rotate around its center, and -s changes your selection to fit the rotated build.

Flipping

The flip command flips your builds in a direction of your choice around you (;flip [-cos] [direction: Direction]). The flags here do the same things as the ones for ;rotate.

Lines, Walls, and Faces

The ;line, ;walls and ;faces commands are all simple commands that only need a pattern to work, but are also affected by the global mask. They all do what they say. ;line makes a line from the first to the second position, ;walls makes walls around the selection, and ;faces surrounds the selection with an outline (like ;walls, but with a floor and ceiling).
