How to change size of voxel?
When I use the voxel it only gives me one size and tells me I can change terrain but nothing cleary indicates how to change the size of the voxel.

Anyone know?

Are you referring to voxel hands? As in you are trying to add terrain to your world? The voxel properties window will open up if you have a voxel hand tool loaded, and key "crtl + H". A window will open where you can change the size of the voxel tool you are using. Remember voxel hands is a creative only option.

If this not what you are talking about, maybe rephrase your question and I will try to help.

exactly what I am talking about but when i hit crtl + H there is still no indication on how to make the voxel hands bigger.

Any help would be very welcomed.

I haven't worked with it for a long time. But when I did this video taught me all I wanted to know. If I remember correctly there were sliders for size.

Edit: At 1:44 you can see Brush Settings and the sliders.

Thanks Casualsailor - I was looking for something like that.

Here is a screenshot of the sliders that we are referring to:

Yeah, spoon, that's the problem with this game. The devs often change the keys. Most of the "how to" videos are old and therefore are not as much help.

But just knowing that some key brings up those options will permit you to know that you are trying to do the right thing at the right time and then trial and error will eventually lead you to the correct keys.

Sorry to res a dead thread, but for anyone looking the keys to change materials are brackets "[","]". Also to paint with material on existing voxels with an ore is MMB. Hope this helps someone
