pxt-worldbuilder's Issues

Feature request: make fill command extend 32768 block limit

When using the fill command it has a max amount of blocks it can fill: 32768 blocks.

Can go beyond the block limit if we use multiple fill commands to fill out the total area that you want to fill.

Fill / replace

Is there a way to replace blocks, say sand to stone in the marked area?

Issue with fill command

Hi there @TheBeems!

I have been doing a project for school where I need to build a hub kind of thing and I wanted to speed up the process by using your Github repository. When I managed to get it into Minecraft education everything ran fine but when I start to type "fill" [Whatever Block] it just cuts the air leaving nothing in place. It might just be me not understanding but I have typed it multiple times and nothing has changed whatsoever other than that, I find it really cool that you made this! I would appreciate it if you could find my problem since this is kind of a big project I'm working on at school.

Best Wishes,
@Darkshipreturn

Bug: `wall add` not functioning after creating a wall of height 4

When on a plane world, when you create a wall with a height of 4 blocks, the command wall add <num> does not add the wall on top of the existing wall. Instead it creates the wall from the ground up.

Request for help with using extension

Hello,

Sorry for bothering, but I gave up after long search around topic of extensions for Minecraft: Education Edition.

I would ask how can I actually build an extension like yours and use it into Minecraft: Education Edition?

I am not able to build it using npm package pxt- (i tried with core and microbit). It seems that ptx repository for Minecraft is private right now and not published by Microsoft.

I noticed that official microsoft extensions like https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-minecraft-HOC2019 can be imported as extension (simply url to github allows for import), but it didn't work for your repo.

Sorry for asking you about stuff, which should be documented somewhere else, but i will appreciate any help. It would be great to extend easily minecraft makecode API for students.

Feature request: toggle to remove marks after build

Make a toggle if you want to remove the marks used for building something (wall, fill, sphere, et cetera) after it has been build. Defaults to no.

Suggesting command: autoclearmarks on|off.

How to use a id that has a data value assigned to it?

Sorry if this was explained somewhere! Just cant figure out

Being able to increase or decrease wall height

When using the command wall <height> to create a wall, subsequent wall commands should increase or decrease the height of the wall.

So for example wall 5 creates a wall with an height of 5. When typing the command wall 4, it should lower the wall with 1 block.

Current behaviour is that the wall of height 4 is created inside the wall of height 5. So if the same building block is being used, you don't see any difference.

Feature request: command to make stairs

A command to make stairs easily and fast ingame. For example:

stairs <num> <orientation>

<num> is the amount of stairs to make, or height if you will.
<orientation> is N, S, E, W for compass-headings.

Feature request: make rotation possible for copy/paste

See if it is possible to rotate copied blocks when pasting them.

Copy/paste in Minecraft is actually cloning the blocks from one place to another: https://minecraft.makecode.com/reference/blocks/clone

There is no way to rotate the blocks on cloning, so need to see if this can be programmed.

More documentation

Some documentation would be welcome to explain what this code is doing inside Minecraft Education Edition and how to use it to decrease building time by 90% or more.

Also expand the help function inside the game for more commands and examples on how to use them.
