FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am attempting to model a ship in Minetest, which necessarily, is sitting in water. My question is thus; is there an easier way to remove the water inside if the compartments which were constructed below the water level other than filling the compartment with blocks and then digging out the fill? The internal area will become several thousand blocks, so the fill/remove process would become too time consuming.

If you have world edit you can do //replace default:water_source air

Would this remove all of the water from the map?

if you use papyrus nodes to replace water you can walk through the nodes. Many players use that to build underwater. Torches are also often used but you can stack papyrus while torches have to be attached. To farm the papyrus leave the bottom node, only harvest the nodes above so that it will regrow.


using worldedit you first define the area the command will apply to

I have world edit installed due to a map file needing it, but I have never used it, so I do not know where to begin with it. Is there any tutorial or anything for World Edit?

This is the space I need to remove the water from. The internal space is about 160 blocks long at longest point, by about 25 at widest point by 6 deep.

With world edit you need to set 2 points. For example the front bottom right corner and the back left top corner.
To set your first corner go to the location and type //1 then the other corner //2
Then you type //replace default:water_source air
Type //reset to reset world edit.
This will remove any water that is inside the cube you made with world edit. The water on the outside should fill in again if there is water on the outside of the cube. Sometimes the water does not start filling in on it's own. If you place one water_source beside the water then it will make it start.

I was able to use World Edit to replace all of the water inside of my construct, but World Edit leaves those shadows where it replaces nodes. I found the guide for using World Edit, and did the //fixlight command after marking out a cube, but I still have the shadows. Does somebody know how to properly fix the lighting issue imposed by World Edit?

Select the air above the area. Does not mater how much you select. Then do /set air.

This should fix the lighting.

There was a sponge mod for MT, not sure if it still exit, or if it is incompatible versions.

search for sponges

and use mapfix for shadows

there's another one
