@sherkhan30452 can you explain how this gives any benefit beyond worldedit? it seems to just be a more limited framework.

This is just worldedit light, not really matching the survival part of the server theme.

It does have a superior license than Worldedit, but that's about the only advantage I can see.

We could at least investigate if it can replace worldedit, however of course its a builder/staff tool anyways, not meant to be given into the hands of survival accounts.

I just wanted to point out it has undo and visible selection blocks, nothing else. I see some people complain about WorldEdit to be complicated (even for me) and doesn't have an undo option. And ofcourse WorldEdit is better than this, but I thought we can use it side by side.

Of course this was meant for admins and staff, not for players (at least city builders I guess?)

undo is a really really necessary feature that worldedit needs. but adding a second thing that does 3% of what worldedit does and uses incompatible commands doesn't solve the real problem.

I found a possible solution in form of a mod

WorldEdit Undo

Undo and Redo executed WorldEdit chat commands

https://content.minetest.net/packages/Hybrid%20Dog/we_undo/

Usage

//undo undo the latest worldedit command
//redo redo what was just undone
//show_journal view what can be undone and redone
With the more_chatcommands mod, other player's changes can be undone with /run_as <playername> //undo, where <playername> is the other player's name.

Undoing reverts changes of nodes (name, param1 and param2) and metadata. Node timers are not yet supported. The undo functionality should help against accidents; however, it should not be considered reliable since there is no guarantee that undoing always is possible or works correctly.

The changes of nodes after invoking a command such as /set are compressed to improve memory usage.

WorldEdit Undo

this is huge if it works. a cursory review of the code looks sane, though i question the decision to keep the action journal in memory and not on disk, and it has a rather small default memory limit (though that can be overridden).
