A way to pre-generate world?

[Hume2]

Hello everyone,
I want to pre-generate an area of 4km×256m×4km to make a map. I can't find any better solution than walking all the blocks. Is there a better way? There must be something like a command but I can't find it.

From an earlier discussion

Or use the chat command " /emergeblocks (-2048, 0, -2048) (2048, 128, 2048) ". Beware, this might take a while, so I recommend generating smaller map parts first to check whether it works as desired.

Hello, I'm using version 4.17.1
When i use the command:

Code: Select all

/emergeblocks (412.3, 10.1, 387.2) (422.3, 10.1, 387.2)

i get the answer:

Code: Select all

Started emerge of area ranging from (412.3, 10.1, 387.2) to (422.3, 10.1, 387.2)
Finished emerging 2 blocks in 170.16ms.

but the blocks don't come up.

The same happens when I use the command:

Code: Select all

/emergeblocks here

What i don't know?

It doesn't send them to the client, it loads them on the server. Also, using such precise numbers is pointless and that's a very small range to load

To send a block to a client, you can use player:send_mapblock(blockpos)

Thank you for your answer. I have given the numbers as an example.

I type send_mapblock (412.3, 10.1, 387.2) but I get the answer: Invalid command: send_mapblock

Sorry, I don't think I quite get this game. Can you give me some example?

Maybe I'll write what I want to do. I play as a player on the local map and want to bulk remove or insert blocks. That's all.

send_mapblock isn't a chatcommand, it is a function to be called on a player object in mods. If you don't want to write a mod, and have worldedit installed you can do that:

Code: Select all

//lua minetest.get_player_by_name("PLAYER"):send_mapblock({x=5,y=34,z=13})

Insert singleplayer instead of PLAYER if you are playing singleplayer, else target playername
