Generation
WorldEdit comes with a few commands help you make shapes without the use of a region selection. Instead, it takes the block that you are standing in as the center of these shapes.
Spheres
;sphere [-hr] <pattern> <radius> [radiusY] [radiusZ]
;hsphere [-r] <pattern> <radius> [radiusY] [radiusZ]
-h
makes it hollow, and -r
raises the sphere's bottom to the origin.
Cylinders
;cyl [-hr] <pattern> <radius> ([radiusY]) [height]
;hcyl [-r] <pattern> <radius> ([radiusY]) [height]
-h
makes it hollow, and -r
raises the its bottom to the origin.
Pyramids
;pyramid [-h] <pattern> <size>
;hpyramid <pattern> <size>
Custom Shapes
Apart from these builtin shapes, there's also the ability to make your own with the ;gen
command!
;gen [-h] <pattern> <expression>
Unlike the others, you need to first make a selection to define where the shape will be made. Then, you need to define an expression that will determine where blocks will be generated. If it returns true or a number besides 0, then a block is generated. You can use the three variables x
, y
and z
to reference the location, which is normalized within the selection ([-1, -1, -1] - [1, 1, 1]). You also have a bunch of math functions at your disposal. Experiment!
Examples
;gen -h stone "y < x^2-z^2"
- Generates a stone saddle
;gen stone "(0.75-sqrt(x^2+y^2))^2+z^2 < 0.25^2"
- Generates a stone torus
;gen glass "y < cos(sqrt(x^2+z^2)^2 * 10) * 0.2"
- Generates a radial cosine wave
;gen -h wool "y^2/9+x^2/6*(1/(1-0.4*y))+z^2/6*(1/(1-0.4*y))<0.08"
- Generates a hollow wooly egg
