How do I get a list of all positions in a chunk on generation?

[scifiboi]

I'm trying to get a list of every node position in a chunk including the air nodes. How can I do this? I tried doing minetest.env:find_nodes_in_area(minp, maxp, {}). The problem is, as far as I know, you can't get a list of EVERY position in that chunk with that function. Does anybody know how to do this? If I'm not making myself clear enough, just ask and sorry. I just really suck at explaining things. :P Thanks, everybody who replies!

I dont see a problem here, just use find_nodes_in_area().

But can I use that function to get a list of ALL the nodes in a chunk some how? As far as I can see, you have to specify which nodes you want it to search for in the third argument of that function.

what if you leave the 3rd argument empty ("")?

Ah, now I get what you want.

You should look into the LuaVoxelManipulator. It gives you a table with IDs of the nodes.

Thank you a lot! I thought for sure that by the way you first replied, I asked a REALLY simple question. haha. But thanks for showing me this. It looks really interesting and I will definitely have a look at it.
