FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

allow a player to remove large amount of land or blocks all at once? I've found myself clearing lots of land one block at a time to make a good space to build something, and I started to wonder if there's a tool or something one can use to just delete huge swaths of blocks at a time. Thanks.

There's something called worldedit lying around on the forums, use that and it will make these problems (nearly) dissapear.

Maybe this is also useful for you (from minetest/minetest.conf.example):

# Map generation attributes. Currently supported: trees, caves, flat, v6_biome_blend, v6_jungles, dungeons, nolight
#mg_flags = trees, caves, v6_biome_blend

The first line are the possible attributes, the second line I guess are the default.

You might want to paste this in your minetest/minetest.conf file, creating a flat world without trees:

mg_flags = flat, v6_biome_blend
