## `//sculptlist [preview]`
Lists all the available sculpting brushes for use with `//sculpt`. If the `preview` keyword is specified as an argument, then the brushes are also rendered in ASCII as a preview. See [`//sculpt`](#sculpt).
```
//sculptlist
//sculptlist preview
```
## `//sculpt [<brush_name=default> [<height=5> [<brush_size=10>]]]`
Applies a specified brush to the terrain at position 1 with a given height and a given size. Multiple brushes exist (see [`//sculptlist`](#sculptlist)) - and are represented as a 2D grid of values between 0 and 1, which are then scaled to the specified height. The terrain around position 1 is first converted to a 2D heightmap (as in [`//convolve`](#convolve) before the brush "heightmap" is applied to it.
Similar to [`//sphere`](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/ChatCommands.md#sphere-radius-node), [`//cubeapply 10 set`](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/ChatCommands.md#cubeapply-sizesizex-sizey-sizez-command-parameters), or [`//cylinder y 5 10 10 dirt`](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/ChatCommands.md#cylinder-xyz-length-radius1-radius2-node) (all from [WorldEdit](https://content.minetest.net/packages/sfan5/worldedit/)), but has a number of added advantages:
- No accidental overhangs
- Multiple custom brushes (see below on how you can add your own!)
While sculpting brushes cannot yet be rotated, this is a known issue. Rotating sculpting brushes will be implemented in a future version of WorldEditAdditions.

//sculpt
//sculpt default 10 25
//sculpt ellipse
//sculpt circle 5 50

### Create your own brushes
2 types of brush exist:
1. Dynamic (lua-generated) brushes
2. Static brushes
All brushes are located in `worldeditadditions/lib/sculpt/brushes` (relative to the root of WorldEditAdditions' installation directory).
Lua-generated brushes are not the focus here, but are a file with the extension `.lua` and return a function that returns a brush - see other existing Lua-generated brushes for examples (and don't forget to update `worldeditadditions/lib/sculpt/.init.lua`).
Static brushes on the other hand are simply a list of tab-separated values arranged in a grid. For example, here is a simple brush:
```tsv
0 1 0
1 2 1
0 1 0
```
Values are automatically rescaled to be between 0 and 1 based on the minimum and maximum values, so don't worry about which numbers to use. Static brushes are saved with the file extension `.brush.tsv` in the aforementioned directory, and are automatically rescanned when your Minetest server starts. While they can't be rescaled automatically to fix a target size (without creating multiple variants of a brush manually of course, though this may be implemented in the future), static brushes are much easier to create than dynamic brushes.
To assist with the creation of static brushes, a tool exists to convert any image to a static brush:
<https://worldeditadditions.mooncarrot.space/img2brush/>
The tool operates on the **alpha channel only**, so it's recommended to use an image format that supports transparency. All colours in the R, G, and B channels are ignored.
