| ===== Tools of the Trade ===== | |
| Sometimes, it helps to have a little bit more to work with than your trusty pickaxe. It is dangerous to go it alone, so consider taking some of these tools with you. | |

| * [[http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/170739-131-whats-my-light-level-stable-24-1-aug/#download|WMLL]]: "What's My Light Level" is a client-side mod that displays the same information as the F3 screen, but it presents it in an unobtrusive, yet always-visible, manner. The coordinate display takes the guesswork out of large builds, and the light level display warns you if the block you're standing on is under-lit. Under-lit constructions are a deconstruction waiting to happen. WMLL is recommended for all players. | |
| * [[https://github.com/mcedit/pymclevel|pymclevel]] is a must-have for anyone with their own Minecraft world, either single-player or multiplayer. It is capable of performing basic level-editing functions, and it has helped the server weather the Snowpocalypse... three times! It runs on the command-line, so we can edit the world when it's still on the server. | |
| * [[http://klaue.net16.net/programme/ownprogs/java/schematic2blueprint.en.php|schematic2blueprint]]: Have something cool in a single-player world? Want to replicate it on the server? Use the ''export'' command in ''pymclevel'' to save it as a schematic, and open it in ''schematic2blueprint.'' This program will perform a CAT scan of your schematic, presenting you with one image for each level of height. | |
| * [[http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/|rdiff-backup]] is an incremental backup tool that allows us to keep lots and lots of old versions of the world on the server. Save early and save often. This is a must-have for administrators everywhere. | |
| * [[https://github.com/equalpants/pigmap|pigmap]] produces the world's [[http://www.theparadox.us/maps/|web maps]]. It is not the most full-featured mapper, but it's fast. | |
