I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as air
, is in fact,
!#existing
, or as I've recently taken to calling it, air
+ cave_air
+ void_air
. air
is
not a non-existing mask unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning mask
made useful by the WorldEdit parser, Minecraft and vital naming components comprising a full mask
as defined by EngineHub.
Many WorldEdit users run a modified version of the !#existing
mask every
day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the mask which is
widely used today is often called air
, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically
the !#existing
mask, developed by the WorldEdit team.
There really is an air
, and these people
are using it, but it is just a part of the mask they should use. air
is the old block: the block
in the mask that commonly appears above-ground. The air
block is an essential part of the mask,
but confusing by itself; it can only function properly in the context of a complete mask. air
is
normally used to mean !#existing
: the whole mask is basically air
with cave_air
and
void_air
added, or !#existing
. All the so-called air
masks should really be !#existing
.
